Helo, I just wanna know, right now, i'm using a 320gb WD caviar blue HDD. So, I just bought a 1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD. If i'm about to use both of the HDD, will it burden my CPU n RAM..? well... logically it's a burden to carry two bags at a time even both of it were empty.. :??:

this is my spec:

CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1055T 2.8GHz
RAM: Team elite 8GB 1333MHz
MOBO: Asus M4N68T-m v2
PSU: Cooler Master GXII 650W
GPU: Nvidia GTX 750Ti
 
if both drives are the newer sata drive then each drive is going to be on it on port. the only over head to the system will be if you do a disk to disk copy. all windows will do is say there another disk under device management and that about all. other then that it the sata controller and the new disk drive will talk back and forth that the drive is active and enabled on that sata port. the only issue you see is if one of the drives goes bad it can hang the sata bus.

No powerful PC needed. I've had systems with multiple drives for years.
