I already have an HD but I want to use it for system files and I would like to add another HD for web hosting and other stuff... How can I do this? I'm running RedHat Linux 7.0

You can just set the 2nd drive to mount to whatever directory you want it to (I'd assume /home/something). To do this you just edit /etc/fstab and add a new entry for your new drive, mounting it to the desired location. After this is done and you've rebooted then any files you copy to the mount location will end up on the 2nd drive.
