Adding A Second (Used) Hard Drive
I'm running a custom built system, but want to add a used hard drive to the system so I can copy all of the old important files off it to the new hard drive. I had them all on an external, but the external failed a day or two after the backup, just my luck.
Is there any risk in me just plugging in the second hard drive to a SATA port? There is a lot of important data on it, so if it auto-formats or anything, that wouldn't be good.
