2nd drive HARD drive caddy optical Bay - Pavilion dv6700

Hello world

I hope someone here can help with that, because I'm out of ideas...

I've recently updated the primary drive of my laptop dv6700 (dv6820es) with an SSD. I did a new install of Win_7_32 and there is no problem at all.

But this record is not that great, so I decided to plug in the SATA HARD disk-old through the optical drive Bay in order to have the storage capacity. For this, I ordered a SATA-to-PATA caddy that fits perfectly.

The big problem now is to make this combination of work:

  • Behavior of the BIOS: it is difficult to say if the BIOS detects the drive properly, as long as this model of the BIOS is pretty poor in the configuration/information options. In any case, when I press F9 with the 2nd HARD drive plugged in, a new startup option appears as well as the SSD and is listed as "7. Notebook hard drive. The HARD drive is spinning too. Because of what I guess that the BIOS detects, at least, 'something' (but again, I can't tell if the HARD drive as it is or just some unknown decive). Moreover, the BIOS is updated to the latest available version: l58 A.
  • Behavior of Windows: for what I can see, Windows behaves as if the reader was not there. Nothing in the "Device Manager" and nothing in the "Disk Manager", just the SSD drive is detected. With one exception, in one of the restarts a lot I did the player that presented themselves. The usual text bubble said 'installation disk... ". ", and apparently it installed fine. After installation, there was this new IDE drive "" under "Drives" in the "Windows Device Manager". Well, it seems to work! But unfortunately, I've seen my hopes be disappointed in the next step, when you try to initialize the drive through the "Disk Manager". First of all, it took a long time (like 4-5 minutes) with the program that 'think', finally launch one of these errors of the infamous 'cyclic redundancy. I rebooted, but the player was not there yet. And he never showed up again, just this time.

Sad thing is that I can't tell what makes the difference. I updated some things like the drivers of Intel chip, Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver (not really necessary, I suppose, but just in case)... throughout this process. But in fact nothing in particular time it almost worked.

My ATA drivers are the most recent available for my chipset AHCI. Is there a driver I'm missing? Is there an impossibility for the 2nd HDD (PATA) to work with the SSD works in AHCI mode?

Well, I think it's all (sorry for the long post). Maybe someone has endured/solved a similar problem.

Please share your knowledge

Hi Erico,

Sorry for the confusion of information.

The HARD drive is a SATA drive and the optical drive is a PATA drive, so I used a caddy SATA-PATA. Something like that:

(Although the one I ordered is not the manufacturer)

Whereas, although the HARD drive is a SATA drive, it should be detected as a PATA one. Is it possible to make interfaces SATA AHCI as PATA work together? Is not in this case. Need a motherboard very ethusiast and advanced BIOS level.

[Edit: the chipset is, moreover, of the Mobile Intel 965 Express Family.]

Perhaps that the liaison has a cable better than purchased translation Setup. A lot of people seem to be satisfied with it.

The physical connection of hard disks must be of the same type for the reason that I expressed in my previous post, unless there is a translation of the work cable between SATA and PATA.

If your laptop has a double drive Bay and you have installed the drive in the Bay with a caddy and cable SATA cononector it would be simple.

  • Caddy optical Bay for Tecra S10-106

    Hello

    I would use an SSD instead of the conventional HARD disk, but SSDS are very expensive and that is why I would like to replace the optical drive with my conventional HARD drive. The optical drive is not often used and so I'm looking for a Bay optical caddy who easily replaced the DVD drive. I know that old Tecra Systems (e.g. 8100), that such a Bay was available.

    I don't want to use an external drive, because I do not carry many devices with me. Please can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey mate,

    I know that there are these optics by caddy for some Toshiba laptops but I don t know if they are available for Tecra S10 and if it of possible.

    You should ask a service provider authorized in your country. If this an optical bay caddy is available, you order if by technicians and they can give you a detailed response. :)

Although the availability of a 2nd drive hard trolley is mentioned in the user manual, I couldn't find the part of the disk for the M750 caddy. I tried a standard SATA-SATA HARD drive caddy, but I get a message "select Bay error" at the start, although the caddy runs under windows, as long as you do not hibernate.

    Does anyone know the part no of the real 2nd hard drive for Portege M750 caddy / M780? Or is there another 2nd carriage of hard drive that works with the M750 without restriction?

    Hello

    I guess that you will need a hard drive caddy part number: P000452980
    Then you could place this in the Toshiba Ultra Slim PA3408U-2CTE and PA3408U-1ETC HARD disk adapter

    Hello

    My TECRA A10 - 1 HG PTSB1E does'nt recognize my second HDD that has taken the place of the cd-rom.
    I use a SATA caddy and the boot of the A10 with a CD-rom error!
    is it not possible to use a shopping cart with a TECRA A10?
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you for your experience of return.
    Best regards

    Hello

    I guess that the Tecra A10 does not support these updates.
    The 2nd SATA controller does not seem to support the additional HDD instead of ODD.

    But I've read a few things to get such2nd as recognized HARD drive.
    You must start the laptop without the HARD drive caddy in ODD Bay.
    After that the Windows system has started, you can plug/connect the HARD drive caddy and system PnP service should recognize the new device.

    I think this isn't the best solution, but it seems like it s the only way to get this HDD caddy recognized in the Bay of the STRANGE

    Hello

    I was eager to build a new computer and was hoping to use the hard drive and the optical drive from the Hp Pavilion 500-164 to reduce their costs. I'm confused as to how to remove the optical drive, because I removed the two screws on the left and don't know how to get to the other side as it wouldn't come out. When you remove the hard drive, the SATA cable wouldn't come off, so I stopped here and would like some advice on how to remove the hard drive from its Bay.

  • Satellite P200-1EE I can install a 2nd hard drive in the Bay of spare?

    First of all, Hi everyone!

    I have the laptop model above, and he has a spare drive Bay. There are connectors for pins at one end, but it doesn't seem like the drive will fit. It's like there's a missing - like component case Connector for the 1st disk slot. I bought a 500 GB drive and tried to see if he would be in shape. The 1st disk has a metal basket attached, and who does not.

    Is it possible to install a 2nd drive for this model? If so, what would need to do?

    Thank you!

    Andy

    Hello

    If you have a connector in the second HARD drive Bay, you can add a second HDD. But you will need a wire basket as on the first HARD disk. Therefore, you can contact an authorized service provider because you can get all the parts on their part.

    On the Toshiba site Web is a list of all ASP s, check it!

  • Pavilion 15 ab128na: hard drive upgrade from the Pavilion 15-ab128na

    Hello

    I am buying a laptop computer ab128na Pavilion 15 and wanted to know about upgrade capabilities.

    It comes with a disc of M.2 256 GB SSD but it maybe a bit small. Is there room for an additional HARD disk drive (such as the gaming notebook pavilion)? So I, for example, M.2 256 GB SSD drive and a 1 TB HARD drive.

    Or the model allows only for 1 hard drive, so I have to replace the SSD drive, it comes with a larger capacity SSD?

    Thanks in advance

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    This manual explains Star Wars Edition and the 15-ab128na sharing the same internals with this model.

    The problem is if your laptop comes with just the MSSD m2 I don't think they understand the mounting kit for a 2.5-inch hard drive. You must purchase the part on the secondary market in some way.

    Kit hardware hard drive (supports and connector) 809296-001

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/809296-001-HP-15-AB027CL-hard-drive-caddy-Kit-grade-A-/171992018156?hash=item280b85ecec:g:2SgAAOSw7hRWPoW0

    In addition, access to the hard drive Bay is a bit of a chore and put security at risk.

    But to directly answer your question, the laptop is designed to have a m2 and the SATA 2.5 inch disk at the same time.

    You could also install a HDD as pure storage using the slot of the DVD drive with an adapter. Of course, you lose the optical drive but I find myself with mine very rarely these days, anyway. Use of this Bay, the warranty will not be affected.

  • Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9 - use of the HARD Drive Caddy

    Hello

    When I got my new laptop the first think I did was to install an SSD.

    I don't usually use my optical Bay so I am planning to install a HARD drive enclosure.
    Someone has already done this, and if so have you had any problems? Also, what are data transfer speeds?

    Thank you

    Fraser

    I can't tell you if this extra HARD drive caddy will work in the Satellite Pro C50 series STRANGE Bay - A - 1 K 9 because that depends on the support of the BIOS and the controller.

    I read about these updates several times in different forums and to be stone, sometimes it is possible, but in many cases, the BIOS does not recognize this drive caddy HARD and laptop does not start.

    In the case where you have already tried these updates, please share the details with us!
    I think it would be very interesting for others, if this update worked correctly.
