    Many computer manufactures suggest installing dual hard drives in desktop computers, and not without reason. Dual hard drives offer many advantages over single installations.

    More Space
    The most evident benefit of multiple hard drives is the added storage space. A second drive can more than double your capacity.

    Organization
    Files and programs can be more easily arranged on dual drives. For example, the OS and program files can be contained on one drive, with data files on the other.

    Backup
    Second hard drives permit s for easy backing up of files. Files can also be manually copied from one drive to the other, or the second drive can be set up to perform as a mirror image of the first, backing up automatically.

    Performance
    Windows makes what is called a "page file" or "swap file," where it stores commonly used information. Stored this file on a separate drive raises performance because the same drive is not trying to all together work and use the page file.

    Multiple Operating Systems
    Multiple HDD allow the easy installation of multiple OS.
