Adding a second hard drive

[alxiuf]

Hello all

I have got a bit of a dilemma concerning my pc and would appreciate any related guidance. I am considering the idea of adding a second internal hard drive to my computer. I have not done many hardware upgrades in the past and I would like to be sure it will work before I am to purchase anything.

I believe this is possible with the pc I have to work with. Although what I would like to know is if it is possible for sure. Also if you could recommend a particular model, I am open to any suggestions as long as it will definitely be compatible with my system.

My pc info is linked below (the first link), the motherboard info in the second link. Thanks ahead of time, I would really appreciate your advice.

Yes you can add a second hard drive. What size hard drive did you want?

I see no show stoppers with your hardware so here is an option http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148767

I would open your case before you start buying to ensure you have enough stata connectors power. If you do not get a molex adapter and an extra sata data wire while at the computer shop.

I have unofficially selected all answers to be the "best answers" as they were all good. Unfortunately I had to officially pick one as well.
