I'm about to build a desktop but my budget it's not the best so i had the genius idea of using my old laptop's HDD for storage.
But i'm now sure if i can use it without any problem, one of them is this one : http://www.ownta.com/images/detailed/HDD-2.5-500GB-MK5075GSX-Toshiba-2.jpg
as i said it is used, so it has some filles and windows Vista or windows 7 installed , i don't remember.
And the another one is also a 500gb 8mb cache hdd, from this laptop : http://www.wootware.co.za/asus-x552cl-intel-core-i5-3337u-1-8-ghz-15-6-1366x768-4gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-710m-1gb-500gb-5400rpm-hdd-windows-8-single-language-64-bit-notebook.html
Well, i want to know how can i use both of them in my build and i don't know , do i need to erase both of them? In total i will have 1TB of storage right? And when i "install" the hard drives will it count as 2 different hard drives or one? And what happen if i erase only the old toshiba's hdd and let the another one not erased ?
Thank you very much for your attention ! and sorry for my bad English !
