Hi,
I built a pc with 120gb SSD months ago.
The original SSD act as both OS and storage.
Right now I bought a new SSD and thinking of adding it on to the system. Is there anything I need to change or notice on? Or just plug in the new SSD like how we usually add on a RAM.

Hey there, Azr4el!

Yes, it's pretty simple to add a secondary drive, regardless if it's an SSD or an HDD. However, once you've plugged the drive in the system, you'd need to first - initialize it, and second - partition & format it. I can suggest you a couple of tutorials from our knowledge base that you can use to guide you through those processes.
Step 1: Initialize the SSD: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=pIzCdx
Step 2: Partition & Format it: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=SzHEiP

Once you've completed these, you should be able to access and use the SSD storage through your Windows interface (My Computer) like any other local disk drive! :)

Hope I was helpful! Good luck!
