Yes. But I do IT for a living. Badger asked for basic advice which implies he's not that familiar with the workings of a PC. Let's not get into a 'My PC is bigger than your's'.
Having had an optimised SDD for about a year, I probably wouldn't bother again unless they were cheap (got this one half price, but still more than a HDD which was working fine anyway), and mine gets a lot of use.
Goldfazer - yup my PC knowledge is limited, thats why I asked.i am competent enough to install an additional hard drive with a little bit of instruction. I didn't want to start WW3, but just ask if there were any pitfalls to look out for? My PC is 5 years old but still runs and performs OK and is adequate for what i use it for, I have nearly filled my hard drive and want some extra cheapish storage until i'm ready for a new pc / laptop. I dont really want to spend £80ish for a 1TB HD so looked at putting in an internal drive for between 20 40 quid.
