Add second HARD drive to HP ENVY 17-j171sa Leap Motion TS SE Notebook PC

Hello

Recently upgraded to SSD as HDD1 in my notebook using cable sheet etc. of 'newmodeUS '.

All the stable and works well, so I installed a second HDD (which I know works well) but the laptop does not see.

I even installed the drive HARD original as HDD2 but same problem

I cannot find any relevant info on diagnosing this problem, but I was wondering if this model (jump movement) may have a second internal HDD

I don't see anything in the BIOS on this topic

A point to note is that I had to remove a plate of maetal that was installed in the drive Bay HDD2 - possible is not designed to accept?

Thank you

Following my last, next time I checked the disk Dirves in Device Manager, there was my Toshiba 1 TB as well as the SSD.

Quick format in humans of disc and it is in place and works very well!

Not too sure what happened here, I left the disks with the cables 'Swapped' in place and just to prove that everything is OK I swapped the cables back again an everything is OK (the original cable is now in HDD1 port with the SSD and the NewmodeUS cable is HDD2 port with the other disk from Toshiba.

So now I can use my 1 TB of extra storage as well as storage faster SSD - Hallelujah!

I also always the player original HGST I cloned the SSD at and could use again if the SSD fails or corrupt.

Thanks to all who have helped me on this one

Robert

    Hello

    All parts can be ordered from local authorized Toshiba maintainer.
    Here is a page with all FSA available worldwide:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

    But even if there is a 2nd HARD drive Bay, you must check if the Bay contains the HARD drive connector.
    The fact is that not all models are equipped with the same motherboard, but with the same substantive coverage that contain 2nd HARD drive Bay.

    By the way: what you need is a kind of drive bracket HARD 2.5 ". Something like [this | http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/images/TOS-X505%20sm.jpg]

    I really want to add another SSD or HARD disk. My question is what size should I buy and it would be compatible with SATA 2 or 3? I will void the warranty of my mobile during installation it?

    Hello

    Through 2, 24, 41-43 page in this manual:
    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091762.PDF

    You can put 3 SATA, they are backward compatible with SATA 2 HARD drive also

    Size: 7mm or 9. 5 mm compatible

    You must purchase additional hard drive support (number of HP 720237-001) to second hard drive.

    Replacement procedures are included in the manual. It is relatively easy to install. It will void the warranty if something goes wrong due to replacement by you. Contact HP service center for help.

  • Qosmio G50 - 13R - add second HARD drive

    Hello

    I want to upgrade my computer.
    Here are the numbers:

    Product name: Qosmio G50 - 13R
    Product version: PQG55E-05C04RFR
    Product series number: 89063721H

    I have space for a second hard drive, but it is empty.
    No caddy, no connector.
    But the Intel Rapid Storage detects an empty 4 internal port.

    How to check what is the port?

    I did some research and found a document on the substantive content of my computer. It says there is a connector on the motherboard for a second hard drive, here are a few references in the document:

    CN1920 2nd SATA HDD (20 PIN) interface connector

    Is that the motherboard of my computer (see reference above) has the CN1920 connector?
    How verified?

    Greetings.

    There is a 2nd HDD bay because in the past, the Qosmio G50 is out with support for different hardware specifications and different hardware parts and obviously 2nd HARD drive Bay does not the HARD drive cable/connectors.

    The Intel ICH9M South Bridge supports 4 integrated controllers serial ATA Host, so the chipset should be able to handle 4 devices SATA (2 x HDD, 1 x ODD, 1 x eSATA).

    I searched on the internet a bit and discovered that the motherboard supports two controllers/connectors.
    The first HARD drive must be connected to the CN1900 connector SATA (23pin) and the 2nd HARD drive must be connected to the CN1920 (20pin). The STRANGE is connected to CN1910 (13pin)

    However, I think that it will not be very easy to update this unit with a 2nd HARD drive all must be dismantled and of course, you need compatible parts for these updates.

  • HP Envy 17 K2Z68AV: Adding a second hard drive for HP Envy 17 K2000 Series notebook PC

    So, I have been looking around for more information on adding a second HDD/SDD in my model of laptop computer on the web, but can't find anything on my specific model. Many places say K-series laptops have only one hard drive Bay, and that you use a hard drive caddy optical Bay. Moreover, I found videos of very similar models being dismantled, which seem to have only room for 1 hard drive. However, I was told to support twitter HP want all 17 have 2 hard drive slots. Can I get a confirmation, just to be sure?

    Hey @MrMdr,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your Notebook HP ENVY - 17 t - k200 CTO, model #K2Z68AV and concerns with the second span. Looking to 256 GB SATA m2 (MLC) that could be used for storage only. It is a hard drive, but it fits differently than the main hard drive. Hereis a link to your manual page 2 which shows the specifications.

    It shows you how to install this on page 68 of the manual.

    Please let me know how it goes.

  • Install a second hard drive on HP ENVY 15

    I just bought a HP ENVY 15 t-j100. I chose to have an SSD instead of the 1 TB drive. I was told that the original drive may be installed as a secondary but stupidly decided not to. Believe it or not, I have been concerned about the extra weight! Hey, I had just lost a Viao Z550, he weighed 3.2 kilograms, and which included an optical drive! I had never actually seen a HP Envy, ordered him to go just overseas on specifications. Now that I have it I see that worry about the extra weight of the disc looks like to worry about the extra weight of a GPS unit in a Chevy Suburban. The power of one brick weighs about as much as the Z550!

    So now I would like to add a secondary drive. I came across a tutorial to do this in an Envy 17, 15 would be substantially the same? Thanks for any clarification.

    The problem isn't with the hardware... mSSDs are very fast and reliable. The problem is the design. The slit of the WSSD is supposed to be and is designed to be used only for a hard drive cache acceleration... usually 24 or 32 GB. It allows an SSD speed to exploit the performance of the regular main HDD. It is close to rocket science. It is technically possible to circumvent the way HP has implemented with limits in the BIOS and other, but it is not really designed for this niche of the WSSD, which will be used to hold only a disk to be used as a regular mounted volume storage or the main size boot drive. Once again, possible, but he has a degree in computer engineering to accomplish.

  • Installing second hard drive in hp envy 17

    Hello

    I would like to add a secondary hard drive to my HP ENVY 17 1050ef.

    I know that I need a caddy and cable connector - I'm looking at this one:

    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&products_id=481

    Please can anyone advise where I can buy the hard drive itself.  I think I need a 9.5 mm/2.5 inch drive but must be SATA and where I can buy this from.    I won't need too big a disk.  My main drive is 446 GB so I should probably something similar or slightly larger.

    Any help where I can buy this and what to buy would be appreciated.  I am based in the United Kingdom.

    Thanking you

    Hi Dean,

    Once again, thank you for the information.  It is very useful for me and allow me to move forward with confidence.  For that, I thank you.

    My windows version is Windows 7 Home premium, 64-bit (service pack 1).

    I have already backed up my drive to a USB port, I think that also asked me if I wanted to save on DVD.  If I could do it again that way and the DVD would be the most recent.

    (if I remember correctly, that I don't have enough DVD back upward so I used a new usb that had never been used)

    You mention a windows boot disk, that's essentially what I already saved and downloaded on the USB with my system files and full backup when I created the system repair disc?

    If so the main hard drive breaks down, the system will ask to connect USB or DVD when I turn on my laptop with only the secondary hard drive installed and then I will be in place and works?

    I found this link which can help me, but suggestions and links on your part would be appreciated.

  • Second hard drive for the Envy 17-1181nr Options

    Hello

    I have an Envy 17-1181NR. I just replaced the hard drive yesterday, that the original 750 GB disc had errors. I put a 1 TB drive to replace the original, and everything works fine.

    That said, I would like to put an SSD in the 2nd to speed things up. What are my options on GB for disc 2. Can I use this disc 2 as my first (with the OS on it)?

    And other issues, I'm not asking?

    Thank you!

    You can use SSD as boot disk make sure just the OS partition is smaller than the ssd.

    richiej,

    That PSU (5188-2625) shown here http://www.power-on.com/ea350u.html is supposed to have 4 Sata power leads, 2 on each leg of cable. See the PDF file, PF - PI http://www.power-on.com/images/mechanical/ea350u.pdf

    If search you and trace the tracks, you might find these other Sata power cards.

  • Can satellite A300 - 15 k (PSAJ4E) - I add a second HARD drive?

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 k (PSAJ4E) and my question is, can I add second HARD drive? Now, I have a HARD inside drive, Hitachi 250 GB, 5400 RPM. is there a place for the second HARD drive?

    I want to buy some 2.5 in 7200 RPM, thx in advance.

    Hello

    Check the bottom of the unit.
    There should be a second HARD drive Bay.
    If the second HARD drive bay contains the pins of the connector HDD/then you could add a second HARD drive 2.5 SATA.
    If the connector is not available, then the second HDD is not possible.

    See you soon
