Hey, guys, just a real quick question. I'm building a new PC and my current PC, which is fairly old, has a 300GB Western Digital HDD that I'm operating off of for now (Windows 7 installed).

When I build my PC, I'll be using an SSD as my boot-drive (new OS) and using the HDD as storage.

Will having the OS on the HDD matter? Will I need to format anything or will it be plug-and-play?

My current understanding is to boot the new PC from BIOS, set the SDD as the primary, install the OS, power off and then plug in the HDD. Is that correct?

And from there, treat it like any other storage?
