COMPUTER QUESTION...HELP!

[3xLaZY]

i want to add a third hard drive to my computer, but it doesn't look like i have another hard drive slot. if i unplug one of my cd drives, can i put a third hard drive in its place???

 

[RedStorm]

I'm not sure, but if not you can add an external hard drive, which may be more convenient because it's portable.

^^i looked, and they're more expensive per gigabyte. AND i heard they're slower...that is definately an option though, thanks for advice redstorm.

Externals arent that slow, works just like a regular hard drive, you can put programs on em just like your hard drives you use now. Plus they're cool if you share a computer with other people you can use it just for when you're on the computer, hide the usb cable or something an nobody can fuck with your files.

come on, i know somebody on here knows about computers...can i replace a cd-rom drive with a hard drive?

 

[DJ Coma]

yes you can as long as you have enough hard drive hookups on the motherboard. you will need a mounting bracket for the hard drive because the cd drive space is obviously bigger than a hard drive. i would look into a firewire hard drive though, i got one and i can't notice a difference.

 

[captainc]

yeah you can. just make sure you have brakets. i got 1 terabyte. =) im a geek.

You need a controller card. Pops into a pci slot, just get another cable for the other drive. They're less than 20 bucksa at Best Buy....

I installed it on my exsisting installation of XP with no problems. So there is a stand alone app you can use for it. Do a google on it. It aint all that though. Nero 7 comes with a media center very similar to XP's. It's available ALL OVER THE NET. In fact , that's what I currently use. No complaints here . I hope you aint bought XP Media center yet.
