A:AnswerPossibly. You probably can take off the white plate off the drive and buy a plate from a trusted seller/dealer to make sure you don't get scammed.
A:AnswerYes, plugging this in to a PS5 Slim with no disc drive will make the console act exactly like one that came with a drive from the factory.
Fun fact: The normal Slim console and Digital Slim console are the same exact SKU. There is no difference between the two in terms of hardware. One just has the drive bundled in, and the other does not.
A:AnswerThis part is incompatible with the orginal slim. It won't work. With the orginal. You can either do digital or disk consoles. There is no in between.
