Well, obviously piracy if you're into that. Apart from that, using cheats for games, dumping your physical games and having a permanent copy you can use without the CD and an active license (probably possible with a digital game too I assume? not sure), applying patches like a 60fps patch for Bloodborne, emulation of PS1, PS2, PSP and a bunch of other consoles etc etc.

Running Linux if you're that kind of person :P

Piracy is interesting. Are the HDD replaceable. Could you add a NAS.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The HDD is replacable and afaik, you can insert an SSD too. Not sure about the sizes, but an internet search should point you the right direction.

Not familiar with NAS. Isn't that some kind of server?

Thanks ill Google it.

NAS is Network Attached Storage. Typically a rack of drives connected to the network.
