got it! and its sata. i just gotta partition it and it will be good to go. So now i need advice...
I have a 160gb and this 500GB HD all my weather stuff is on the 160GB. I also have a 80GB External HD. Should i move all my weather stuff to the 500 since it is newer and then have it back up to the 80gb External or should i keep it all on the 160 and then have it back up to the 500 or the 80gb??

I would leave all the weather stuff on the root drive. But that's just me. Use the slave drive for everything else.
