Building another computer.

Right now in my main rig I have an SSD that runs my OS and software programs only.
No files storage on my SSD.

I also have a 4tb HDD as another drive in this computer but it is for file storage only.

----------------
Here's my question:
1) Can I disconnect my 4tb HDD and plug it into a new build and use for file storage only and keep everything thats on it right now?
2) Will all my files on this 4tb HDD still be on there and safe etc... or will I loose them by disconnecting the 4tb HDD

*I simply want to move the 4tb HDD ( which has no running software or programs on it.) and connect it to a new computer. And use it just like it is being used now. File storage only.
This new build will have a seprate SSD for my OS and software.

3) Is it as simple as disconnect from the old and reconnect to the new?
