Updating Hard Drives - Compatibility Question

[eaypc1]

Hey Guys,

I was just wondering if someone could tell me whether the two hard drives I want to add will be compatible with my computer - and also if I would need to purchase any additional cables/mounting parts to connect them up. The setup I purchased from PC Specialist is:




I am also currently running windows 10

I want to buy the following drives:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-2-5...-1&keywords=ssd+samsung+250gb&tag=chrome03-21

With the Samsung SSD to take over with running of the OS etc. Then the other three drives in any order on the next ports.


Could anyone tell me if these would be compatible with my setup? Sorry I'm a bit of a hardware noob.

Cheers

EDIT: Also apologies if this is the wrong forum, I wasn't sure which was most appropriate

EDIT: No idea why but original post has seemed to disappear... rewritten question below

I have a compatibility question regarding my PC Specialist build. I want to add two hard drives yet I am unsure if they will be compatible and also if I need to purchase any mounting cables/equipment. The specs of my computer are shown below:



I am running Windows 10.

I would like to add the following hard drives:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Green-Deskt...440607203&sr=8-1&keywords=4tb&tag=chrome03-21
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-2-5...-1&keywords=ssd+samsung+250gb&tag=chrome03-21

The samsung would take over the first slot and run my OS. Then the other three in any order on the ports.

Is there any issues with compatibility for this mod? Apologies I'm a bit of a hardware noob.

Cheers

unsure why main body is not showing... any idea mods?

It should be visible again now, when you are new to the forums your posts often get put into the moderation queue - meaning they won't be visible until they are approved, this can also apply to edits of previously approved posts.
I'm sure I had gone through all the posts awaiting approval previously today, maybe I missed a few ... oops.

Ahh ok! Sorry for the double post my bad!!

Both will be fine, although you may need a 3.5 to 2.5" adapter for the Samsung SSD.

Just to warn you also, the caviar greens are quite slow and designed for infrequently accessed data. For better performance go with a Caviar Black which is much faster.

ST - thanks so much for the response!! I'll look at the bank account and see if it can stretch to a Caviar Black
