Trying to build pc build. Can i put 1tb seagate + 240gb kingston hyperx 3k? is that good? Sorry im noob. First time to build pc for games.

Yes of course, I still have my old hat drive in my Pc aswell. The SSD is my main one for the faster windows boot times and the amazing speeds I can transfer and write data!

I don't see why not! I have 5 hard drives installed in my pc for organizing my business files! I use that ssd for windows and all the programs I use for graphics and video! Just use the ssd to install windows and only programs/games you will use. Make sure you do not full your drive to the max because it will literally slow it way down. There is one other option that is great. Google search 10,000rpm western digital hard drive. It's a beast and has a 5 year warranty. Not to mention for around the same price you will get 1tb instead of 250gigs!!!

Yes you can have multiple drives in your PC. My recommendation is that you want to use the 240GB Kingston HyperX 3k as your main drive to install your Operating System on. Use the 1TB for data/storage.

Yep, works great... we use the SSD for the OS and installed programs. Then use a 1TB drive for data. Very fast boot times with this configuration.

Nope. The HP you are referring to only has 1 2.5 inch bay, so unless you modded that case there no place for another drive. a 1TB drive would double your capacity though. So I'd check that out.

i agree seagate is not even worth looking at now just taking up shelf space. i have older maxtor, WD and other drives and still running good. I got a seagate from an expensive company that sells decent computers but after 1st power up of a 1tb single disk plugged it in and drive shut down and stopped working. i got a WD for almost the same price.

No idea but Google around. I see lots of comments about SSD and RAID setups on the net. Good luck!

I used 4TB Drives from WDC and Seagate, they work fine. I don't know if 5TB drive would work or not.

Change the Hyper 212 evo for a H100i ... get a 250G SSD (or 120G) and a 500G SSD instead of the 1T, use the small one for Windows. Are you going to do video capture and editing of your gaming ? You might want to go say hello to the Tom's Hardware website, they will help a lot.

Everyone here is correct. You can use a full length graphics card with the drive bays full. I currently have a gtx580 4gb right up next to the hdds. Wiring is tight, but its do able.

i would call wd customer support if you want to get a quick answer to this question. don't waste your time searching all of the forums as it is faster to call the company directly. want to get a system that really screams speed wise. buy two velociraptors up to 1tb size and put them in one build in raid configuration which is really easy to do. just ask your local computer repair shop to help you out if you do not want to try this build yourself.

im currently using one with 750gb. So far so good. as long as its 2.5in SATA HDD should be fine.

If you want a good "as is" system get this one, I am very happy with mine. No problems with it under constant use. However, if you want loads of out of the box expand-ability you may be disappointed. There is physical space for one additional hard drive, but without unplugging the USM port (as I did) there was no free SATA cable to support it. I would recommend buying a SATA expansion card. There are no free memory slots, to add additional memory (why? It's got plenty ) you would need to buy larger DIMMs and replace the existing ones. Hope this helps.

Ps- I went with this product before my knowledge of pcie drives. I would have chosen that over this product and an ssd. If you can afford it I think your performance will be way better.

Good computer configiration is a must to support a large HDD like 1TB. When you connect a HDD like 1TB its a good idea to divide the 1tb in 2 or 3 partations. Reason : Faster retrival of data without giving too much load to your CPU. This eliminates most of your issues. Based on my experiance Segate is one of the best till day. WD is doing good from the last 2 years.

In case you filed the D drive (if you are putting all files on the C, move them to the D) Asus also offers free storage on the cloud. Look into this. else, buy one additional hard drive. You can get Seagate 4 Tb HD for $190 buckaroos = cheap!

I have 3 westerns in my pc i havent had a seagate in awhile. I have a seagate external drive and its ran fan for like 7 years. So i would look up some reviews of both and see which one is best.

Supports Sata 3.0, Size of drive supported depends on what your Motherboard supports. I have used a 3TB without any issues. Reminder: This Drive bay cannot be used with Tool-less cases & requires you to use 4 screws to mount into case. Also does not work well with certain VelociRaptor drives such as the WD1000DHTZ.

That's exactly what I'm doing and why I bought this; however I am certainly no hardware guru. It takes a while for it to show upon explorer (4-5 secs), windows needs to read it, etc. I would go to the internet and find a forum that has a topic for hardware, giving them the model, intent, etc. Let me know what you find out. I am interested. My final goal it to set up a RAID, still need one more hard drive.

I really do not know, but I would think that it is more a question of wheather your COMPUTER will support such a drive. 3TB is a huge drive, but on the other hand, I remember wondering if I could ever fill a 40MB drive. Please remember to back it up regularly. I'll be able to hear you from here if it crashes and you haven't backed it up!
