To store data?

What you mean? you used a cheap HDD for something like OLD games, omg what are you doing??? you must buy brand new SSD $$$$$$ for everything

These kids I swear...

Hey There! a HDD is much slower than a SSD, so i suggest you clear up your SSD, and install it there because its alot faster (in loading times speaking)

HDD's are goated still. only plebs with no data would say otherwise. an 8tb SSD is like $900+ over here. Yet i could get a 24tb exos drive for cheaper with an smaller 2tb on the side as a read cache for that same price.

cheap and you can store older games on it? i don't see an issue

hdd's are great for old games like others said, but when it comes to modern games, such as gta 5, you'll want to care more about performance so installing to a sdd would be better.

But why? If he can't have it on SSD, then why can't he put it on HDD and buy new SSD when he have money for one? BTW it's way easier to damage a SSD by, for example, power cut, or emergency shut down (likely because overheating or a system error).

You can install it, just can't play it

It'll be fine

Ever try buying an 8TB SSD?
Ever try getting 30+ TB of storage on SSD?

And then there is the issue of if said SSD is being subjected to copious amounts of write/rewriting when doing things other than games

[SpacePilot7132]

you'll be fine. yes it would run better on SSD but the core of the game and its technical systems remain the same for the enhanced version. I doubt you will have almost any real issues or stuttering at all, especially if you meet the recommended RAM.

lol what he'll be able to play it. it's not like the game will just decide not to open if he's running on a hard disk.

[stickyAslan13eye]

yeah but the loading times ain't the same as the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S so the loading times are gonna be like the Last Gen Versions unless you have a very fast RPM HDD

if im wrong, correct my sentences
