I am no PC expert but I would wash it really good in soapy water to make sure it's clean then run a magnet over it to make sure you get any loose particles off of it before installing it.

If you are a Steam gamer it will suck reinstalling unless you have a great net connection. Can't help you with your original question though.

hmm, what makes you think it's any different than a regular HD?

Plug it in, tap F5 a boot, format the drive with your OS, install software. Computer Management, format your other HD as NTFS for storage.

I got this cool addon that allows me to easily create junctions between my SSD and HDD. Basically, I cut and paste my steam games to a folder on the HDD, right click the folder, pick link source, and drop as junction on SSD. Avoids any issues with running shyt off the secondary. Useful if you have a small SSD.
