I....can't see why it wouldn't be?

hard drives only pull about 15W at most, if your arent having power problems now adding another hard drive isnt going to push you over the limit.

 

[hzar89]

so it means i can add another hardisk?

 

[hunter315]

yes you can.

 

[iRaiden]

Absolutely. You could add 5 more without a problem if you wanted.

Agreed...most HDDs only pull a max of 15w...I believe the readouts on the "green" drives is under 10w. You should be good to add plenty of storage.

one thing before this while the pc running i have touch the graphic card fan while it's still running which the fan fan stop from spinning for almost 5 seconds... did this will make the graphic card damge??? plz answer coz i worried of it...

 

[hzar89]

thanks for all off u help me in the hardisk issue..

 

[hunter315]

Stopping the fan for a few seconds wont hurt the graphics card, its not going to heat up too quickly during those 5 seconds.

 

[hzar89]

hahhahaha.... thanks man...
do you know anyway to prevent the dust to enter the casing?

 

[hunter315]

Hard to keep it out entirely, but putting dust filters on the intake fans can make a big difference. If you dont want to buy dust filters you can make some of your own.
