Hows to create your own ps5 portable ssd/flash drive

# PS5 Internal SSD Recycle to USB → SM2259XT USB SSD Conversion

### Hardware Used

**NAND:**

* Kioxia / Toshiba **TH58LJT0T24BA4M** (PS5 NAND)

**SSD Controller:**

* Silicon Motion **SM2259XT**

**USB Bridge:**

* ASMedia **AS2235**

---

## Step 1 – Install the NAND

Install the PS5 NAND:

TH58LJT0T24BA4M

onto the SM2259XT board.

Verify:

* No shorts
* Proper reflow
* Correct orientation
* Clean solder joints

---

## Step 2 – Flash ASMedia Firmware

The drive initially enumerated in ROM mode.

Using the ASMedia MPTool:

Flash firmware:

230830D18700

After several disconnect/reconnect cycles the controller eventually accepted the firmware and began enumerating correctly.

---

## Step 3 – Program the SM2259XT

Open the SM2259XT MPTool package.

Working package:

SM2259XT2_TSB-FBiCS4_PKGW0602A_FWW0529A0

Working NAND selection:

Toshiba 512Gb TH58LJT0T24BA4M (FBiCS4)

Firmware shown by tool:

W0529A0 (FBiCS4)

---

## Step 4 – Run MPTool

Selected flash:

Toshiba 512Gb TH58LJT0T24BA4M (FBiCS4)(SM2259XT)

Then run:

Start

Successful result:

PASS

Detected capacity:

229936 MB

(~224 GB usable)

---

## Step 5 – Format the Drive

After the MPTool reports PASS:

1. Disconnect and reconnect the drive.
2. Open **Disk Management** (`diskmgmt.msc`).
3. Locate the newly detected ~224GB disk.
4. If prompted, initialize the disk (GPT recommended).
5. Create a **New Simple Volume**.
6. Assign a drive letter.
7. Format as **NTFS** (Quick Format is fine).

After formatting completes, the drive should appear in Windows Explorer and be ready for use.

---

## Confirmation

Successful configuration showed:

Flash:

* Toshiba 512Gb TH58LJT0T24BA4M

Firmware:

* W0529A0 (FBiCS4)

Capacity:

* 229936 MB

Status:

* PASS

This confirms:

* NAND ID detected correctly
* FBiCS4 profile matched
* SM2259XT accepted the NAND
* Capacity calculated correctly
* Controller initialized successfully

---

## Notes

Many other SM2259XT packages failed.

The package that consistently identified the NAND correctly was:

SM2259XT2_TSB-FBiCS4_PKGW0602A_FWW0529A0

with flash profile:

Toshiba 512Gb TH58LJT0T24BA4M (FBiCS4)

If the drive only shows ROM mode or 1024 MB capacity, verify:

1. AS2235 firmware has been updated.
2. NAND soldering is good.
3. The FBiCS4 package is being used.
4. The exact TH58LJT0T24BA4M profile is selected.
5. The drive is reconnected and initialized through Disk Management after programming.
