How do I setup Corsair Force 3 120 gb (Noob here)
Last response: in Storage
So, I recently put my pc together and on an impulse buy I purchased a corsair force 3 ssd 120 gb model. I was expecting to receive it on Friday, and just received it now. I have no idea how I should go about setting it up.
I'm a noob, not afraid to say it. Feel free to break it down what the best way to setup would be. Both my hard drives are currently almost full.
