    Should I keep playing without a hard drive?

  • @toetertijd
    @toetertijd 6 років тому +25

    Answer: it won't start. It will show a black screen and it will say something like, Cannot find system storage or cannot start. Because the OS is on the harddrive. A very small part of it is on a chip on the console that will allow booting in to safe mode to format the hdd or repair it in case the hdd fails and you need to replace it. This video could be 20 seconds long.

      I think safe mode is just a fallback if your PS4's OS gets corrupted

      No it does nothing. It will ask you to reformat the harddrive because an xbox can't read a ps4s hdd because it has another partition structure and it is encrypted. And visa versa.

    If I'm not mistaken,if you boot up an Xbox 360 without a hard drive,it will boot up like normal and still play games like normal.only difference is,is that your save games are gone (unless you used cloud saves) and you can't play games that require a mandatory install but one disc games work like normal.

      You're right. Xbox 360 Core didn't include a hard drive and Xbox 360 Arcade had 256MB memory card, which was later updated to 256MB internal and later to 512MB internal. And there was also the 4GB Xbox 360 S.
