Adding an additional hard drive is easy to do, and a 'good thing' to do.

It will slow down the wear/tear on your existing unit and provide you the additional space availability.

It is not a 'good thing' to replace your existing hard drive with a new/different one when your current one is working a-ok.

The ability to use both hard drives is known as 'slaving'.

If in doubt, grab an extra hard drive and Google slave hard drive . If that scares you buy an external hard drive. They are as simple as plugging in an USB.
