“Can I stack this ontop of the hard drive already in my computer or would I have to replace it instead?”

• Typically, PC cases have slots for multiple drives. It would depend on the case. I wouldn’t recommend stacking it directly on top of another drive as the mechanical pieces that move might be damaged while in use.

• Physically stack? Or you're referring to adding additional drives to your system? Both are a yes

• If you have a free SATA port on your motherboard you can ADD this drive as an additional drive you will not have to replace your old drive.

• I would never stack a drive loosely on top of another drive. If you have an open 3.5 inch drive bay this will fit right in. You may want to make sure your power supply can handle the extra drive and that your motherboard has open Sata ports.
