yes,,, you can used them both on a computer without using any software... Do a master-slave config....
or if have two IDE cable no need to do master-slave, just put the 2nd hard disk in..... then restart your computer...
its easy!!!

It depends upon what you mean by join... If you just want to add the 2nd HD to your existing setup, you would attach it to the 2nd connector on your IDE cable and of course connect a power cable, too. No software required.
Now if you wanted to transfer everything from an old HD to a new one, then you'd need transfer software like Powerquest Drivecopy or VCOM Copy commander- of course then your original HD becomes a spare, you could remove it once the transfer is complete.

Yes you can easily do that. The bus cable provided in every PC has some extra ports. Just connect that port to your hdd. Your computer will automaticaly detect that hdd.
