Hey, I have a 120GB SSD, and a 1.5TB HDD that I use for data storage. 

I am planning on repaving Windows 7, so I just wanted to be sure that when I connect the drive to my computer that when I go to add it into Disk Management that I don't have to select any format options, and that I can instead just mount it without having to lose any of my data on the second storage HDD? (NTFS filesystem). I am aware that any "programs" may not work properly, however I will be cleaning out what I don't need and reorganizing literally everything on that drive. The last thing I want to do is have to go out and buy a USB storage device to transfer everything to. Though my WD green operates at only like 80 something Megabytes per second lol

 

(Before people suggest my drive is dying chill it is not like I have a choice in the matter, employers take awhile to respond to applications unfortunately.)

I think there will be no data lost and everything should work fine. May I ask you another question?

I can see that you where using WD Green or you are using it now. So can you describe me what is the situation with it?

 

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

 

Hope this helps,
