2 hard drives?

Actually I got a pc deal that has a WD 150g HD with it. Can I add 2nd drive for storage or is this a good idea? What set up would you recommend for gamming? Thanks

Yes, you can add a 2nd HD. Type of setup will depend on the motherboard/want to use RAID/personal preferances on seperation of Apps and data/etc.

Raid

If I place HD's in any raid configuration, don't I have to have identical HD's? I was hoping not to have to add another Raptor due to cost.

That's correct. You don't need RAID.
