raid
, whats the safest method to do it?
Thank you for your reply
Add it externally, via a USB2 case. You can also use FireWire, but be
aware that you should try to keep the connections stable, as hotplugging can
rapidly destroy FireWire ports.
If you add it internally, there may be concerns that are specific to your
system's motherboard, and so you'll have to read the manual.
Once you sort out what settings you might need to change, add the drive, and
turn the machine back on. Boot into Windows, and go to Disk Management to
initialise, partition, and format it.
