• You attempt to add a 2nd hard drive

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE 510 t. I try to add a 2nd hard drive. The 2nd hard drive is a Toshiba 1 TB 7200 RPM 6G.

  Accordingly, the 1st HDD was plugged on SATA2 and the CD-ROM was connected to SATA1. It worked and it started ok.

  I added the 2nd hard drive, plugged on SATA3, went into the BIOS Setup and it has not even see SATA3.

  I then plugged the CD-ROM on SATA3 and the 2nd hard disk on SATA1 and lit, is went into the BIOS config amd saw 2 hard drive and a hard disk 1, it did not see the Wired CD SATA3. Then I tried SATA4-nothing.

  I have advanced and partitioned and formatted the hard drive into two partitions 2 and recovered the data from a backup on each partition.

  It works very well, with both devices, but nothing I have connect SATA3 or SATA4 is recognized by the BIOS.

  Can someone tell me why? is there a jumper on the system board or a setting in the BIOS that turns on SATA3 and SATA4?

  Are my bad SATA3, SATA4?

  I've seen the specifications for hard disks. He is said to use a 1 to 3G 7200 RPM. IS the fact that I use a 1 to 7200 RPM 6 G the cause? Even with the hard drive 2 disconnected and hard drive 1 SATA1 or 2 and SATA3 or 4 CD, it does not yet recognize the CD-ROM drive.

  I tried to pass autour SATA data cables, but it has not changed. Anyone know why the system will not recognized the connected CD-ROM SATA3 or SATA4?

  Or whatever it is well plugged SATA3 or 4? I can run both hard drives, but then I don't have a CD-ROM drive, or I can run a hard drive and a CD-ROM drive, but not 2nd hard drive.

  Any suggestions? I know choose IDE used to have to set a date for the cable, but I don't think that SATA requires that.

  Am I wrong?

  I bought a $70 ServerSupply.com motherboard, succeeded him and it solved the problem.

  Someone here even suggested, but me. I forgot what email I signed up for this site.

• Pavillion 500-214: I have a HP Pavilion 500-214 and need to upgrade the power supply to support a new video card

  I'm upgrading my video card, and the other needs at least 400w.  The existing PSU is only 300w.  What is a power supply compatible to be installed in the Pavilion 500-214?

  Well, we meet again.

  While the minimum requirement is power for most video cards 400W, I always offer at least 500W; 600W is even better.  This will allow a high maximum operating power.  A modular power supply is good in a medium-sized business, because just use cables that are absolutely necessary.  This allows for better circulation of air in the case.

  This is a power supply that should work for you.  You should check the measurements of the existing PSU (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches) with the measures of the new power supply to ensure that it will not go in the space provided.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer, this is not the place to save money.

  Hi guys,.

  New here. I sin ready 204 with a 4 TB drive. I have set up for a long time and now I released a former 500 GB drive. I would use the 500 GB as a backup. I want to do weekly work which will copy the most important records of the 4TB in the 500 GB drive. (No. $ for 2nd disc of 4 TB for now).

  Is the only way to do this is to create a 2nd evolves and so swithc for Flex - Raid? Switching for bending raid will delete data on my 4 GB drive? If the disc is not in the ReadyNas?

  You have all the best recommendations?

  Thanks in advance!

  Yes, you are on the right track.

  1. Switch to Flex raid (your data on disk 4 to be not affected)
  2. Add the new disk
  3. On the volume page, create a new volume with the new smaller disk

• HP Pavilion 500-311no: the hp Pavilion 500-311no upgrade

  Hp Pavilion 500-311no desktop PC, I bought a few years ago and now I feel like I would get some more power out of it then is it possible to upgrade this computer. I use mostly this pc for a game so what I'm looking to upgrade is the gpu. It seems that the motherboard supports the latest grphics cards and I think they should also fit the case. Incase of replacement parts, the power supply needs to be replaced probably as well. Also overclocking motherboard support and how the overclocking and replacement parts affect warranty?

  Greetings,

  You have some positives on your side:

  PCIe available x 16 slot 3.0.

  UEFI BIOS.

  Your chassis will limit the duration of the update of the graphics card.

  You have only a 300 Watt power supply.

  Most of the HP motherboards cannot be overclocked. I have a processor Intel 4820 K. HP offers limited overclocking abilities with this processor.

  Check the measurements on the existing power supply.  A diet of 600 runs most new graphics cards high-end. NVIDIA cards tend to require less energy than equivalent AMD cards.

  Check the height of the rear panel input/output where the x 16 slot is to determine the maximum length of a new card.

  Shop for a new card graphics and power supply when you know your limits. The high-end cards are usually double slot. Make sure you have room to install a card double slot. You need to be able to burst a second plate of input/output rear panel to install a dual slot graphics card.

  Modular power supplies reduce tangles of cables in the chassis.

  See you soon!

• HP Pavilion 500-002ec: the HP Pavilion 500-002ec gpu upgrade

  Hello.

  I have a HP Pavilion 500-002ec pc and I want to replace the pre-installed gpu (Radeon HD 8570). I was looking at GTX950 and I have a few questions. I need more power for her? If so, how much more? And it is even compatible with current pc? Thanks for your replies.

  Hello

  If do the 950 GTX specific and model does not require a 6-pin auxiliary power connector then it should work. However, most of the GTX 950 require an auxiliary power connector 6-pin and the HP 300 watt standard power supply in your PC doesn't have that connector.  You would be obliged to replace the power supply or try the NVIDIA GTX 750.

  If you decide to stay with the GTX950 then I suggest you one of the following blocks that will give you a bit of room to develop and/or use a graphics card more large: Corsair CX500, CX600 or CX650m

  Be sure to measure to ensure that the graphics card fits will fit inside.

  I have a HD 1 TB there already comes with the system. Add 2 to 7200 RPM SATA 3.5 "HD which is available on the Dell site and make a total of 3 TB? I thought I read somewhere that my office is designed for a maximum of 2 TB. 3 to work always but maybe just a little more slowly?
  You can also the 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.5 "HD would work, too? I ask because my office is not listed in the compatibility for this particular HD list.

  You will need to buy a SATA data cable, there should be an additional power supply connector into the drive case.

  The procedure of installing a second hard drive in the 7100, are here:

  FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_studio_xps_desktop/Studio-XPS-7100_Service%20Manual_en-us.PDF

  Tip: Open the case and check that Dell has provides the drive for additional hard drive cage.

  Once the drive has been installed, check the configuration of the system, including the SATA port, it is connected, turned on [on] and the hard drive is recognized.

  So for Windows recognizes the additional drive, you must partition, format and assigned to a drive letter using Windows Disk Manager.
