Help! Help! My lovelies! (Hard-drive)
« on: April 06, 2009, 05:36:12 PM »
Hey everyone. I'm looking through libraries of amazing PC games that I want. My graphics card can handle them,
my processor is good enough, heck, everything is good enough! However, I have about 20GB hard-drive space left.
I'm thinking of getting a new internal hard-drive, but who, what, when, where, why, how?

How would I transfer data from my old hard-drive?

Could I keep my current drive and wire it up to a brand new 1 TB hard-drive as a slave drive? 1 TB + 320 GB

Would I lose my operating system?

Should I pay a professional?

Do different hard-drives have different speeds or is the storage the only thing to take into account?

Should I buy this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Western-Digital-WD10EACS-1Tb-3-5-SATA-Hard-Drive_W0QQitemZ180342886045QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_HardDrives_RL?hash=item180342886045&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1690%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Thanks!

That won't really help. I'm rethinking. Apparently if I hook the terabyte up to the one I have - using the 1 TB as a slave drive - games will still
run off it just as fast. Shall I do this? I'm so inexperienced!
