• How to use the 2nd hard drive internal for storage?

  Hi, I am a newbie in all of this. I would use the 2nd internal hard drive of our mac mini server (end 2012) for storage (in fact, I'll things rsync from a remote server to here. but this is not the point here.). The thing is, I don't know how to access the 2nd internal hard drive and where to start. I did all of the following commands in the Terminal, but I don't really know what they mean, and what can I do with this information. I've been Googling but most are guides on how to install a 2nd hard drive etc. I hope that the information below is enough for someone to give me advice please?

  Thank you!

• Installation of the 2nd hard drive internal

  I have a HP Pavilion a6750y, with an internal hard drive and a LightScribe DVD Super Multi burner.  The system is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit, with 8 GB of RAM.

  I want to install a 2nd internal hard drive... If all goes well.

  The original hard drive goes SATA1 on the motherboard.

  The DVD player will SATA2 on the motherboard.

  So, obviously, I chose SATA3 on the motherboard to connect my cable purchased and only plugged SATA 2nd hard disk.  So far so good.  Now the problem...

  I did not know that the SATA drives have a power connector different than the old records.  So, a single SATA power connector goes to the original drive and the other for the DVD player.  There is no third party.

  All other power connectors are old white 4 holes plastic ones.  And like 5 of them.

  If I'm screwed?  How can I get another SATA power connector?  Are there adapters that connect to the 'old' white maybe?

  Or do I have to buy a new power supply with 3 SATA connectors on this subject?

  Thanks for our help.

  Hi Mike,.

  Look online and there's nobody with good reviews:

  Hitachi 7K 1000 1000 GB Travelstar HTS721010A9E630 internal

  Hope someone can help

  Hitachi (HGST) makes hard drives that I personally support but other brands are also compatible and work very well.  That you selected is a good choice.   This link will give you an idea what is available:

• HP 15-d005TU Notebook PC: upgrade HARD drive internal for laptop

  The internal HHD is short on free space and I need to replace it with a larger one. The existing one is 500 GB, SATA and 5400 RPM.

  What should I look for when you buy a new?

  Any internal HARD disk will be suitable and compatible or am I looking for something specific?

  Any internal hard drive 2 TB will be suitable and compatible?

  Since the existing one is using a 5400 RPM, one, can I use one with 7200 RPM? There will be compatibility and or overheating problems?

  Thanks for your reply.

  I don't think not laptop 2 TB drives are made with the rotation speed of 7200 RPM. They are all 5400. 7200 TPM is larger than 1 TB. But, to answer your question directly, you can use any 2.5 inch wide and 7mm or 9.5 mm thick hard drive SATA or SSD on the market. The physical dimensions of each of them are the same, that is the industry standard interchangeable. No compatibility or heating problems.

  See p. 81 of the manual here:

  Manual

  The access door on the bottom does not contain hard drive. Access to the hard drive takes a broad dismantling so be careful. It will jeopardise any warranty you have left.

• Replacing the hard drive internal for laptop HP Pavilion zv6000

  For a HP Pavilion zv6000 Notebook with WIndows XP, would be a

  No, I don't think laptop IDE drives were made in sizes more than 500 GB. And the greatest, I see out there in any quantity is a 160 gig. This 320 gig was great, I could find on eBay right now:

• Utility WET W7 64 bit & 2nd HARD drive internal

  Hello - the only two options for the WET on the MS site utility are Vista and XP.
  I'm about to go W7 32-bit W7 64-bit:

  Question 1: The XP WET utility will work for what I try to do it or is there a utility W7 WET?
  Question 2: I have 3 internal HARD drive - if the 32-bit W7 OS is installed on "C", I can't use a ' or 'E' to send the data to easy transfer to? Should it really be an external drive?

  Thank you!

  Windows 7 already has Windows Easy Transfer integrated, so you can do the backup.

  No, it must be restored to a user account. You can save the file .mig Windows Easy Transfer to a network drive or an external hard drive.

• Replacement for 2nd hard drive

  My HP Pavilion Media Center m7790e has 2 hard drives, a main hard drive 320, and the 2nd drive hard 160 GB (Seagate ST316081 1AS SCSI) which I use to backup my My Documents folder and to store multimedia files TV.  My operating system is Vista Home Premium.  My problem is that the 2nd hard drive fills up very fast and I need more storage.  I'm unable to use an external hard drive that is due to the fact that my USB 2.0 ports cannot be upgraded to 3.0 and I think that the speed of USB 2.0 file transfer would be boring.  I considered a 640 GB pocket media drive, but HP said that a media player of Pocket would be no faster than an external hard drive connected via a USB 2.0 port.  I guess the drive hard internal speeds are much better.  I don't think I can add a 3rd hard drive so I plan to replace the 160 GB with a 500 GB hard drive or a disk more.  Appropriate recommendations would be appreciated.  If there are other mods I should improve file transfer speeds, I'm all ears.  Thanks in advance.

  Sorry I have not responded earlier. There is a huge difference between a SATA connection and a SCSI connection. Unless you have installed a third-party interface card, I don't think that your computer has a SCSI connection.

  Your computer does not have a SATA III interface, but the reader must be compatible with your machine, similar to the way USB 3.0 interfaces are retro-compatible with 2.0 devices. They simply will work as fast as possible in the faster connection. But this does not mean that you should not throw the disc the fastest as you can in your computer. Unless there is a huge price for one of these drives premium, I would use them rather than paying for something with dated technology.

• 2nd hard drive for HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Notebook - what do I need?

  Hi, I have the HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Select Edition Entertainment Notebook (product # WV703AV). It can accommodate two hard disks but only came with one. What would need to be able to install the second hard drive? I need just a connecting cable or I also need to caddy or kit?

  Also, would I get a solid state? My laptop that would support or should I just use regular?

  Currently, I am on Windows 7 64-bit. I have a 500 GB hd (which came to be partitioned with hp tools/restoration).

  Help with what I would need to a conventional hard drive or ssd would be greatly appreciated. I tried to look through messages of others first, but could not find anything specific to my model. Thanks for your time!

  Hello:

  The only place I know where you can get a 2nd hard drive kit is that provider.

  http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&products_id=345

  Your laptop should be able to work with an SSD, but I can't guarantee it.

  I don't really see any point in adding an SSD unless you make the main hard drive, and to do this, you must get an SSD of the same size as the original 500 GB hard drive to use the recovery discs to reinstall the operating system.

  Most people get smaller SSD and they use the W7 product key to activate a simple installation of W7.

  If you can read all 25 characters of your product key for windows 7, you can do your own installation media and allows to install Windows on a smaller than 500 GB SSD.

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
