I am contemplating adding another hard drive to my desktop and was wondering which ones would be suitable and if my computer can handle it. Would I have to change out the power supply as well? And what memory can I use in it as well? I am aiming to max out the memory so everything can run a bit better.
Solved! Go to Solution.
