Sorry for the newb question, but can I have multiple hard drives without setting them up in RAID? I just want to add one for storage.

Yeah, I know my motherboard can handle another drive. I just wasn't sure if it had to be in RAID or not. I just want some extra storage, because my 74gb Raptor just isn't big enough. Lately, I have to uninstall a game whenever I want to install a new one.

One more question. Would I be able to install and run games on the second drive if it's not in RAID with the main one? Thanks.
 
yes, you can install to the second drive (though some apps/games need to be installed on the c: drive, and even if you can install on the second drive most apps will still take some space on the primary).
