Computer Hard drive

's Computer Specifications

If i put an old hard drive in my computer with a newer one. The old one is
set a slave and im just useing it to store extra stuff on it. The question
that i have is: When i put the old one in the system got a little louder
when the windows is loading, but goes quiet when i login. Will the older
hard drive catch on fire if i leave it in or should i just get a new one!

It won't catch fire, but it may fail.
