  • can I add an internal hard drive of my elite 9240f? How?

    HP Pavilion elite 9240f with a single hard drive and two dvd workouts. Windows 7

    Sure. You should probably upgrade the PSU as there may be not a spare PSU OEM s - ATA power connector. You will need to check visually than yourself. There are SATA ports available for the additional disk. Use one of the bays empty 5.25 ". Buy a SATA hard drive that is not longer than 2 TB. You will need to apply update firmware of SATA drive from the web support portal. If the hard drive firmware update is not applied, you can have problems with registration of data on hard drives.

    I'm not sure the ports that are SATA2 (available literature does not indicate it).

  • Satellite X 200-219: can I add a third HARD drive

    Hello

    First I will say large laptop (although more frequent updates to the screen driver would be nice: D).

    So, I was nosy kicking on the Intel Matrix Storage console, and it turns out that I have an unusued port (port 1).
    Means that it is possible to add another internal hard drive of my laptop?
    Or is it wishful thinking on my part?

    Another question: is there any room for a third HARD drive in all cases?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I talked to a technician for laptop and the third HDD is not possible
    The laptop was equipped with a 2 hard drives and a Max which is possible

    Don t know what you mean by a free port, but it is certainly not a third SATA HDD controller

  • Re: How can I add a second internal hard drive to a Satellite Pro P200?

    I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a single internal hard drive. There is a second Bay in the computer of another internal hard drive, but I couldn't find any information about it. There is enough space for a 2.5 "SATA but I do not see a connector.

    I contacted Toshiba Dutch customer service who said that it was official policy not to provide any information on a second internal drive. They also said that they would not provide parts to make it possible.

    Can anyone provide more information?

    Hello!

    I think that if there is no connector you cannot add a second HDD.
    It of Nice to have a second Bay, but it's nothing without a connector.

    Good bye

    Thank you

    Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.

    https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

    If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.

  • Desktop P7-1039: can I add an extra internal hard drive?

    I would like to install an extra internal hard drive on my desktop HP-P7-1039. I can't find anywhere in the literature if there is an available for an extra drive Bay. If it is available, can this disc type and size I install?

    Thank you

    CErepair guide, it seems that there is place in the hard drive to another hard drive cage.  The existing hard drive is 1.5 to, but a slow hard disk standards.  Not to exceed 2 TB Windows has problems with the disks.  So look for a disk 3,5 '' SATA, 2 TB or less from a manufacturer of your taste.

  • How can I add an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300

    I installed an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300. He only appears in "Device Manager" and shows to work but he does not appear in 'my computer' and has not assigned a drive letter. It's a western digital 1200js-22mhbo. My drive root 'C' is also a wd1200jd from western digital. Can someone tell me what I do to get it to show up with a drive letter, and I have to format it? Also, there is a way to format so I can install programs on it as my "C" drive or I just will be only able to use it as extra storage? Thanks a lot for your help!

  • Request help second addition, internal hard drive [HP Pavilion Elite e9290f]

    Hello

    Quick question here. I am a music producer and you can always use a ton of extra space as some of my projects are 17 to 20 GB in size. My HP e9290f comes with a stock of 1 TB Seagate (I think) internal hard drive. I intend to add this DeckStar HGST hard 4 TB (7200 RPM)

    However, I am not sure, if this drive is compatible with my computer. I talked about the upgrade & maintenance manual but inside, he tells me only how to replace the current internal hard drive. The addition of this amount of space external hard drive is not an option since all my ports are used by external hard drive! Can anyone shed light on what tools I need exactly to connect this HD extra 4TB? I would appreciate your answers, because time is of the essence

    Hello

    I have not tested a HDD 4 TB on the motherboard of truckee. In theory, it should work as a data reader set shaped like a GPT disk.

    Another option if you don't want to take the risk is to install two hard drives of 2 TB. The one in the location empty in the cage from the hard drive and another in the optical drive Bay (if open) second.  You will need one 3.5 "to 5.25" adapter if you use the optical Bay.

    Check on the return policy for the 4 TB harddrive and see if your can return/exchange it if it doesn't work.  Kit retail for Hitachi 4TB has an optional driver if the motherboard of your PC will not format the drive completely outside up to 4 TB.

  • Add the second hard drive to HPE-400Z

    I am trying to add a secondary hard drive to expand the storage space that I only have 10% of free space on the current.

    "Will buy one online" Seagate Desktop drive HARD 2 to 7200 tr / MIN SATA 6 Gb/s 64 MB Cache 3.5 "-drive retail Kit internal (STBD2000101)" enters the cage OK? Existing drive is Seagate 1 TB guess so, but do not get it and discover it doesn't work.

    This disc has new SATA data and power cables.

    It is clear that there is a free connection of motherboard "SATA2" for data, I can see it. Sounds easy.

    What I can't understand is where and how the POWER cable is connected to... or what might be able to be used which already exists for power connectors in the office. There is a certain and they all have beautiful marking... "P3,"P8",...".

    I found instructions on installing hard drive on HP site... everything is clear for me except for this problem of power cable.

    Did he help me with that?

    I want to add a second hard drive to a HP Pavilion A1700n Pc desktop to a new HP Pavilion P6-2100 Desktop Pc, so I can transfer files.

    milehisb,

    Welcome on the user forums.  Section manuals PDF from HP did not offer a guide to upgrade and Service.

    There are several options, depending on your needs and your expertise with the internal components of a computer.

    If you goal is to simply get the data off the drive, then put it back in the A1700n, I would use #1.

    (1) use this external adapter for occasional use:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002

    (2) first search to find if you have a spare Sata power plug. Or you will need an adapter (molex 4pin to Sata).
