Get a ssd. They aren't too expensive these days and the difference is night and day. Games load so much faster and run smoother.

Okay thank you.

There might be a workaround but you're not gonna enjoy it. SSD's are getting cheap. If you can't afford a brand new M.2 drive, an older Sata drive, maybe even a 120GB drive just for games, shouldn't cost more than a Mcdonalds meal deal

EA Motive recommends the game be installed in an SSD. You could probably install it on a regular HDD, but you're going to have a lot of issues like textures either popping in really late or not at all, stutters as shaders and new assets get loaded in, etc.

Long story short is that yeah, you can, but you're likely going to regret bothering to play it in that state. Grab an SSD. You can get 1TB for under a hundred bucks at this point and your games will thank you.

it will work but expect significant stuttering and loading times to be extremely long. will it work? yes but is it going to be a smooth experience? no

It can be installed on HDD. But SSD is recommended. I suggest save some money and buy a cheap 250 - 500 GB SSD only for games and the OS.

pretty sure it's a Sata drive

yes, why not?
it will have longer loading times compared to an SSD thats for sure, but it will work.

The game seamlessly streams data in off the drive as you play; it doesn't have loading screens so playing it on a HDD may mean having to endue momentary freezes as you move around the Ishimura. It probably is still playable but I doubt it will be the most ideal way to play.

I might move it over to my HDD to test just how well it does actually play, you know, for science.

I am an extremely poor person and I cannot afford an SSD. Can I still play this on a HDD, if its the fastest HDD in the world that isnt a SSD

and I cant install a SSD because I have no more M.2 or SATA slots available anyways
