A little bit ago my uncle gave me his old computer to scrap or use whatever I wanted so I decided to take a look inside and grab the HDD out of it and install it into my computer. The space was larger than what I already had in my computer (1st hard drive has 1TB and his had 1.5TB) so I was wondering is there any benefits when it comes to PC gaming and having 2 hard drives?

More storage, easy way to backup and you can set up RAID.

I like to keep my OS and software on one and files such as movies, documents, games on my other hard drive.

Not much of a point in RAID with two different size drives, he will have a random fluctuation of that 500+ free from the TB..

My favorite setup is the 256GB SSD which I put my operating systems on, namely Windows 10 and Kali Linux, with a 1 or 2 terabyte HDD for games and other software, that way the operating systems will both boot and perform ridiculously fast, plus all that space on the second harddrive is easy to store and manage games on lol
