Hi guys~

 

 

I'm considering adding a second hard drive to my PC, for storing all my videos.

This is the first time I'm adding a hard drive to a PC :emotion-10:.

My first question is, and this might be a stupid one, can my 350W power supply handle an extra HD?

(FYI, I'm not sure if you need the info, but my system has the following installed: a 1.5TB HD, a Blu-ray Combo, and Nvidia GTS 240 video card)

 

As you may already know, the XPS 8000 is a pretty quiet machine:emotion-1:

I'm a bit worried that by adding a new HD, it would make the PC noisy (I live in a really quiet area, so any noise will be noticeable).

I'm not saying that I want something that's completely silent.

But I hope I could find something that has a fairly low noise level with a decent transfer rate.

Do you have any recommendations?

 

Any input is appreciated~! :emotion-2:
