Help with additional storage device, ie second harddrive
So I'm planning to get a second HD for my tower here so I can do the things that i love but also take up space ie 3d modeling and the game art stuff. I lost all of my backups on my laptop but i figured since my tower has a better proc, tons more memory, video power that it would be a more suitable place to do 3d modeling because it is sometimes RAM hungry
Anyways my 250 primary is running low. I just installed PS cs4 because I use it a ton [and for school graphic arts work] and i'm down to 60 gigs
I've never installed another hd before. I wanted to get a basic run down of it.
Correct me if I mess up:
1. get right kind, sata3 drive
2. put in case in rails and connect sata cables to HD and motherboard
then what? Do i install win7 on that too like a fresh install? I wouldn't want the new bigger HD to be boot, just a storage device for like steam, 3d stuff, etc
Thanks
EDIT: my motherboard
