If your case has drive rails or screwless fittings, you’ll need to read the case’s manual for instructions on how to fit a drive. Be careful not to use one of the external bays, which have a cutout on the front of the case, as these are designed for memory card readers and floppy disk drives. To fit a hard disk, you’ll need a spare 3.5in drive bay. The BIOS will pick this hard disk as the boot drive by default. TIP: If you’re installing more than one hard disk, plug the one from which you want to boot in the lowest-numbered SATA port. You screw it into one of your PC case’s dedicated slots, then connect the power and data cables. Whether you opt for a traditional hard disk or a newer (and more expensive) SSD, installing your storage in a PC is a relatively simple task.
