Hello everyone, 

I have a 250 GB hard drive that i just removed from an old dell computer. Is it possible to add it to my gaming pc?

I know that isn't much storage space but it would be helpful. Just need some advise on this.

It would be very slow, but you could, provided it's a SATA drive.

You sure can but make sure to format it before plugging it in, you never know what kind of stuff can sit in these things. Even if it's a IDE connector type HDD you can still get a IDE to SATA cable pretty darn cheap.
