I was wondering how this would work. Or if it even could. My computer is custom made. I have windows on a samsung ssd 830 series and my data on a Barracuda ST30000DM0​01 9YN166. I have an intel core i5-3570K cpu and a sabertooth z77 motherboard. The guys who built my computer are against raid set ups staing if 1 drive goes, you lose everything. My data drive though is filling up fast. Is a third data drive even possible at some point or would I have to move to a raid setup? I'm wondering what some opinions are!

You can add even 3 more hdd's as long as you have the room for them.
Nice MB btw..

You can add as many drives to your computer as however many SATA ports you have on your motherboard. RAID setup is not required. Note that if you have a CD-Drive, that will be taking up one of the SATA ports.

If you have a single DVD drive, with two hard drives already, you can add 5 hard drives to your computer.

I have the same motherboard; it has 8 SATA ports.

Just buy a 3Tb Western Digital Green from Amazon. It's a crapton of space.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad adding another hard drive won't be a huge hassle. I'll have to wait a bit anyhow, the steam summer sale has drained much of my funds. lol

Well if possible. Get a raptor drive for your games a nice fast speed of 10k rpm. Considering SSD's are pricey as Well the ones I want are for the size. For storing data seagate or WD will do you nicely. I believe you can get 4tb now.
