Replacing 2 harddrives with only 1

[srdjan.cvijo]

I have two 250gb hard drives in my pc they are pretty much broken and unusable so i would like to replace them with a new 500gb hard drive , is that even possible and am i going to cause any problems by switching from 2 hdds to only 1 , are there any things that i need to pay attention to , and which 500gb hard drive should i buy ?

"broken and unusable" - does this mean that there is no (valuable) data on them?

If they are still working - you can clone them to a new hard drive. Procedure depends on that is stored on these drivs.

You will probably do better with a single drive.
Larger drives are more dense and usually are a bit faster.
WD black would be best.
That said, consider spending more for a SSD.
A 500gb Samsung EVO ssd will cost you about $150.
You will be amazed at the difference it makes in everything you do.
