Yes can use it, you dont need raid / hot plug feature. Just install the new hard disk in one of the SATA ports.
Your motherboard has to support SATA 6Gb/s if not it will just use 3Gb/s interface or 1.5Gb/s if it is SATA1, it is downward compatible.

I installed Seagate ST3320413CS 320 Gb but it is SATA 6Gbs interface. BIOS detected the hard Disk In the Storage Configration .But BIOS opening page it shows as "Error" and other hard disk shows O.K. But I tried to iniate the disk through Coputer management I encountered a message as "The task could not be performed due to I/O device error". Please advice

Hi, it would be better to start a new thread with your full system specs and as much detail possible for this problem, thanks. Seems like a problem with the drive itself, if your motherboard supports SATA2 it will be compatible with SATA1,2 and 3.
I think this does not solve my problem. the system detects the hard disk but error.My mother board is As rock G31M-S Model . Os is Win7-32 Bit CPU: P4 HT Tech . Iwant to install additional Hard disk of 320 Gb keeping the Original Hard disk as primary hard disk. is 80Gb capacity.
Is seagate ST3320311CS Pipeline hard disk compatible? Please suggest a compatible hard disk.

Your motherboard supports 4 x SATA2 3.0 Gb/s so it will be compatible with all SATA 1,2 or 3 HDDs. If the drive is showing up as error then there might be problem with the HDD itself or how it was connected, which is another problem altogether. Try starting a thread in Storage with details of the error.
