Additional non-raid hdd

Hey, I have an extra internal hard drive and I was wondering if I could just connect it to my mobo (DFI nF4 SLI-DR) to access it via my computer like an external drive. Also, will my comp automatically know to boot to the right hdd? thanks

YEs you can hook it up to the mobo as a second drive. You may have to check the hard drive boot order in the BIOS to make sure the original drive is the boot drive, but it should still boot off the correct drive.
