Hey guys, i just bought a 1tb seagate hard drive, and i will be using it for data-storage etc, i am currently using a 300g hd as main (os-games etc), now what would you recommend i do, how should i setup these two hard drives without having to format the main drive, and should i set it up as raid ? if i can

thanks

You dont want to raid them as that would cause you to lose more than half of you new storage space and delete all your data. Leave your current drive as is and add the new drive for storage.

+1 With those drives there is not need to do anything fancy. Just use your new drive for data and call it a day. Or if it's significantly faster than your old drive you may want to consider just using it and putting your old drive out to pasture.
