    Just buy a second hard drive, fix it on the chassis, and then connect the power and data cables, and you're ready to use.

    The vast majority of motherboards support multiple hard disks, and they don't need to be set up for any purpose, they can be used when they are connected, and SATA's interface also supports hot swapping, that is, hard disks can also be plugged and unplugged in the live state, and win7 and above systems can also be recognized and used normally.

    Look at the jumper.,Close to the IDE port of the hard disk is the main disk.,The next one is the slave disk.。 There is no requirement for the motherboard, as long as it can connect two IDE devices.

    Knowing from the disk is that you can just remove the two connections on the six-pointed connector on the back of the hard drive. It's best to divide the data into two lines.

    As long as you get the master and slave disks right, the motherboard will recognize itself.

    The "motherboard" and "hard disk" of the computer cannot be matched casually, and the hard disk should be selected according to your own needs and the interfaces supported by the motherboard.

    For example, if the hard disk interface of the motherboard supports SATA3 hard disks, then the hard disk with SATA3 interface will improve the read and write speed of data, and speed up the running speed of the system and programs. If you use a hard disk with SATA2 interface, the speed of the hard disk will be greatly reduced, which will affect the running speed of the computer.

    Some motherboards are equipped with interfaces, so choosing an SSD is the best choice.

    HDDs and SSDs cost more than HDDs, so consider your specific needs and budget when choosing which drive to use.

    At present, in the field of solid state drives, the different interfaces that can be seen mainly include SATA, MSATA, Express, PCI-E and so on. SATA has been around for many years, and it replaces the old IDE interface, which is easier to install and much more performant. The mSATA interface is indeed smaller than SATA, but the emergence of ultrabooks has further reduced the demand for miniaturization, so the interface appeared, which was originally called NGFF and later renamed.

    It should be noted that the interface is divided into two specifications: B Key and M Key, which are also not universal! B Key uses SATA-like interface with a maximum speed of 6Gbps (via SATA 3), while M Key uses a faster PCI-E 4 lane.

    1. After installing the hard disk on the computer, turn it on, select My Computer on the desktop of the computer, and click "Manage" to enter the computer management interface.

    2. Select "Disk Management", the system will pop up a new hard disk detected and ask to initialize the hard disk, click: "OK" to initialize.

    3. Remember the serial number of the disk, if this is disk 0, select this disk, right-click, pop up the menu, and select "New Simple Volume".

    5. Set the capacity of your first partition, such as your partition is used to put the game installation directory, generally give a 400g is enough. Once you've set it up, click Next.

    7. Format partition, there is a partition format setting, and only NTFS partition format is supported for large capacity. At the same time, you can customize the name of the disk (volume label). Use Quick Format.

    Note: You need to select the unallocated capacity, and right-click to create a new partition. Once all is built.

    8. Now open my computer, you can see the newly created partition of each disk, so that you can use a large-capacity mechanical hard disk to store files.

    It's good to install 2 hard disks directly.,Install it in the BIOS and set the disk with the system as the first boot disk.,Pay attention to the system disk when plugging in the SATA cableSATA1 on the motherboardIt's best!

    Are you planning to install a solid state and an HDD? 1. Connect the solid state with SATA cable, and finally see if there is an excuse for SATA3, which is generally available now, and then connect the power cord, and start to install the system after connecting, after the system is installed. 2. Connect the mechanical hard disk, and then partition it.

    The installation of dual hard disks is shown in the following figure:

    Attach the gold finger downward, and then press to install the wiring.

    Next, it's time to install the operating system and hard disk partition, as shown below

    Go to the computer management window and click on Disk Management, then Next.

    View the disk properties.

    Set up hard disk partitions.

    The interface of the hard disk is shown in the following figure, the power interface on the right is the power interface, and the adjacent is the hard disk interface

    Connect the hard disk to the motherboard through the data cable, pay attention to the direction of the interface, the interface on the hard disk has a vertical edge, after connecting it as shown in Figure 1, and then connect the power cord (the power supply of the computer host has a connector, and its edge also has a vertical slot, so pay attention to the direction), the power connector is shown in the figure

    There are a lot of SATA connectors on the motherboard.

    Something like this. Buy two SATA cables from the motherboard to connect to the hard drive.

    Find your computer's power source.

    That's it, just connect it to the hard drive.

    Both drives are this method.

    If you have a new hard disk, you can repartition it when you install the system.

    Remember to align with 4k if it is solid.

    The difference is that dual hard drives have more capacity than one hard drive.

    It should be noted that the system should be installed in different partitions, and the system version cannot be the same.

    Dual hard drives seem to be a simple way to live, but there are also a lot of exquisite points:

    Before installing dual hard disks, first of all, you should determine whether there is a place to install two hard disks in the chassis, if there is only a position of 5 inches left, you need to prepare a fixed bracket. In addition, it is necessary to determine whether the power plug and power are sufficient. When installing two hard disks on one cable, you should set the two hard disks as the master disk and the slave disk respectively according to your wishes, so that they can be used normally after installation.

    The settings of the master and slave disks can be performed in the following two ways:

    Do you assemble a computer?。。 There are two types of computer hard drives. One is ordinary.

    Hard disks. The other is an SSD. SSDs** are more expensive.

    Assembling dual hard drives. I mean both! Let's not talk about ordinary hard drives.

    The advantage of SSDs is that they have fast read and write speeds. It is several times more than a mechanical hard disk. SSDs can be used to install systems and software.

    Very good.. Boot. My computer is win764-bit.。。

    It takes about 14 seconds to turn it on. Just pay attention to the signs. Whether**..

    Multiple hard disks have more capacity.

There is no problem with two hard disks on the computer. There are several hard disk ports on the computer motherboard, and several hard disks can be installed. You plug the hard disk with the system into the socket of SATA1, and plug it into the socket of SATA2 as the hard disk of the storage warehouse (in fact, as long as the hard disk with the system is plugged into the SATA1, you can plug it into the hard disk of the warehouse). >>>More
