you do not have hdd bay at all. Well I suggest you to goto some PC vendor and look if they have some old cabinets in trash and take out one HDD bay which looks best match.. Even I have one old cabinet in store room ..

Anyways..

Guys, I am too going to buy one 500 GB SATA HDD, I already have 2 ATA HDDs and Two optical drives.. as my main drive is getting fishy ..I think can crash anytime soon so better to make it secondry.. so.. should I add I another HDD or remove old one then add new ?

I have I guess not so good 450W PSU ..

Hmm.. I guess I should dump my primary HDD as its mere 40GB

So which one I should buy .. Seagate Samsung WD or wht ?

I guess I have sata I .. so will it work ?

^ Buy 640 GB Seagate/WD. 640 GB better than 500 Gb in terms of value for money IMO.

Get a WDC640AAKS
Biggest & fastest than all the other but its often hard to find.

Ok IronManForever, I will try fitting th HDD inside the floppy bay tomorrow. Came home late today

@Ricky - If your mobo has SATA 1 port(Like me), then the SATA 2 HDD will work at the speed of SATA 1 i.e. 1.5Gb/s.

I too recommend Western Digital 640GB as it would be worth every penny. Don't go for 500GB, as for a few more you can get 640GB
