Adding a new hard drive on e9180t

Hi, I have e9180t and I'm considering adding a new hard drive.

Can my office manage 3 to/6.0 GB/s 64 MB Cache SATA internal hard drive?  I get my full performance out of it?

I read the possible combinations (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01817977 specification page

Is there a limit to the capacity of the hard drive?  (up to 2 TB)?

Can handle a 6.0 GB/s transfer rate?

I currently have 2 hard drives in the following:

1 TB - Barracuda (st31000528as) 7200 RPM 32 MB SATA 3.0 GB / s
500 GB - Maxtor DiamondMax 21 (STM3500630AS) 7200 RPM 16 MB SATA 3.0 GB/s

If I buy 3 to/6.0 GB/s hard drive and use it as a hard drive, will I use these two hard drives as a secondary hard drives?

Thank you!

For those who might be interestd, this is what I found after some digging and calling:

Since the motherboard that comes with e9180t (ipmtb-tk) is SATA 2, its speed is limited to 3.0 GB/s.   When 6.0 GB/s hard drive is connected, the speed will slow down to 3.0 GB/s.

You can only use the full 3 TB capabity if your motherboard bios has opportunity to support UEFI interface.  However, most of the motherboards built before 2011 doesn't have this option.  ipmtb-tk is one of them.  However, there is a work around.

1. go in the bios and check that the interface is set to AHCI (non-RAID).

2. when the disk partition is loaded, you will be able only to the 2 TB partition.  another partition 750Go seems a separate partition that you cannot change.  Partition the 2 TB the way you want to and install Windows 7 on it.

3. after that excavation is done, download Seagate Disk Wizard.  Later one of their homepage did not work, however.  You must download this one:

http://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/support/downloads/discwizard/DiscWizardSetup-14382.en.exe

I don't know why they don't have this default link on their home page when you go to download DiscWizard.

Once the wizard disk is installed, it will pick up the 750Go that you weren't able to before partition as a new drive and now will allow you to partition.   (Keep the MBR instead of TPG setting, format it to NTFS)

Once you partition using the tool, Viola!  a new drive with 750 GB of space has been added as a new drive.

  • Adding a new HARD drive

    Never have cloned a tough, a few questions.
    My computer is a Dell GX620. The current HARD drive is a SATA 80 GB. It is shown as drive 0 in the BIOS.
    I want to install a 160 GB SATA HDD and clone the content of 80 GB (about 30 GB) on the 160 GB drive.
    I am aware to configure things in the BIOS to enable the SATA port to recognize the new hard drive.

    Y at - it a particular order as to which HD goes first and the second on the power cable?
    Will be the 80 GB hd still remain as main, even after cloning?
    I guess I need a clone pre-installed for this program?
    Bill Noyes

    You will have problems if you try to clone with two drives internally and then Exchange.  The way to proceed is to clone via a cable of usb drive and then close and install the new largest disk in place of the old drive.

    Small question:

    Is it possible for me to add another internal hard drive of my computer XPS 8700? If so, other than the new HDD, is there other additional parts that I need to buy?

    Thank you.

    You should be able to, you may need to buy an additional SATA III (6.0 GB/s) cable to connect the drive (if the drive you buy is not equipped with a cable. Also, until you buy make sure that you have a SATA port on your motherboard.

  • Adding a new hard drive for HP Pavilion 15-E016TX

    I own a HP Pavilion laptop 15-E016TX... n I was wondering if I could add an additional hard drive...?

    it dosent matter if its ssd or the regular disk... I neeed jst little more space

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    There is no space for a second hard drive somehow "ordinary". There no second SATA slot as in the Pavilion 17 inch models or for a smaller drive of WSSD mSATA as in the Envy series. The only way to do it is to remove the optical drive (DVD burner) and install a second drive in an optical drive adapter device. Your laptop uses the slim type optical drive (9.5 mm) and this device would not work.

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

    See Page 47 of the manual for instructions to remove the existing DVD player. It is very easy. You can exchange your façade above so that no one could say that the laptop has been changed. I almost never use my DVD burner on my laptop, anyway. But I also never fill my hard drive. You have it fills a terrabyte? You cannot unload some of them to an external drive or the cloud?

    If you do, just put a hard drive into the adapter and plug it in. The seller, jacobsparts, also sells portable hard drives and would be happy, I don't know to send you both in a single shipment. Disclosure full jacobsparts is in my hometown and I bought some stuff from them years but have no interest in the company. They are good people, I can testify.

  • Added raw lun mapped as a new hard drive, but VM does not see it.

    ESX 4.0 with two Windows Server 2008 virtual computer running.

    Created with SAN volumes and put at the disposal of the ESX host.

    I went in with my client vSphere virtual machine settings and added a new hard drive > mapped raw lun, stored with VM, physical and everything seems to set up correctly after hitting good. I also increased the size of the other two disks on this virtual machine. I rebooted the VM and connected to the server to find that he does not see the new drive, or he does not see the new size increases for other readers. I rebooted the host and yet, nothing new.

    What have I done wrong? Why these changes are not recognized by the virtual machine?

    After the increase in the size of disk or adding new disks, you must go the the VM Windows disk management and resize or format/partition/boot disks.

  • Pavilion series P6000: Configure the new HARD drive.

    I install a new Seagate 1 TB HARD drive in a Pavilion P6620F.  What I need to clone new HARD drive or just run the recovery discs?

    It all depends of what your intentions are.

    You are replacing the original disk or adding storage space?

    The simplest method would be to clone the current to the new hard drive, when you replace the original hard drive. Install the drive cloned in the same place where the Moose an and with the same connectors.  Start the PC and everything should be STATED as it was before, except that it will be on a new hard drive.

    If you add a drive for extra storage of storage, it is simply a matter of conecting a sata conector between unused hard drive and a sata header and connect a power connector from the hard drive.

    Once it is done, turn on the PC and log in to Windows.

    Use Windows Explorer to create up to four partitions and then format the partitions.  I am unware of how space exists in the case ATX mid for additional disks.

  • Re: Satellite U400-11 q with Vista has new HARD drive but no recovery disk

    Hello

    Before starting a very important message: I do not usually work with pc... :-) At my work we have an IT Department for our PC :-))

    However, now I have to work privately with a PC / laptop and I need help: I'm sitting in front of a Toshiba Satellite U400-11 q with a HARD drive completely newly formatted and unfortunately WITHOUT recovery CD or DVD!

    So far I managed to format the new HARD drive and put a Windows Vista Home Basic (OEM software) from my old pc on this notebook. However, nothing works again (I want to get into the Internet, etc.).

    So, I now have to put on all the involved drivers as well as drivers TOSHIBA original, right?

    How can I do this? What drivers to I need? Do I have to download all the drivers concerned (total 113) one by one on the Web from Toshiba site?

    ANY help is appreciated as I see myself spend all night in front of the PC...

    Thank you

    For the benefit of mobile work, you need to install all the necessary drivers and tools and utilities.
    Each of them you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    Any substance must be installed according to installation order. Here it is:

  • No input signal after installing new hard drive

    SUP guys, im need help, my hard drive on my computer has stopped working, I'd get an important flasher hits and it looks like it please insert a disk and when I did a diagnosis, I had hard drive errors I went and bought a new one.

    In order to take the old one out I had to remove the cables from the hard drive, the big white thing that plugs into the motherboard, the processor fan and cable.

    I put in new hard drive, put everything back as it should and when I boot it all im getting are no signal input on my screen, I have tried on 3 different screens and got the same thing.

    Here are some pictures of the inside of my computer:

    If you notice the VGA thing on the 2nd picture, should no more added to it? I mean in addition to plug the cable from the monitor, I have the impression that there should be something added to the back of it, I just noticed now, the computer and the screen worked perfectly before.

    It's a HP model number is a6655f, it came with vista, but after putting in the new HD, I intend to put windows 7, I have a copy of it.

    I guess with the new hard drive and I am I was right assuming that you have already installed windows 7

    Sounds like you need drivers for the drive, and sounds like a simple problem, download drivers and install I believe that when you install windows 7, it offers you the possibility of drivers installed.

  • where are my drivers? new installation on the new hard drive

    I have a dimension e510, I put in a new hard drive. I got the windows xp disk, I added when I bought the computer. In general, the hard drive is partitioned or something with the operating system on the hard disk of windows xp.

    In any case after I installed widows xp, everything works except that I have the yellow question mark by 'other devices', I noticed that when I tried this computer with my main computer of the network. All of the devices under the heading other have no driver video Ethernet, PCi, for example - video works as I have a video card.

    So I tried to install the drivers and windows is unable to find them. I still have the installation disc into the computer. Being one of the drivers for the Ethernet - i cannot access the internet to get drivers. Help

    OK, I found the drivers on the dell site. I was able to install or update several drivers that I didn't need. the pilot opne I need comes in a cab file inpenuxp.cab.  Where do I put this? I've tried several things that work. When I low laoded the other driver of dell updtates, they all seemed different and they are all installed without problem

    Hello

    You will need to download "Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection " of Dell on a USB key and install the driver for your Netbook have access to the internet.

    A CAB file is a ZIP , CAB file is just the Microsoft format for a compressed folder save bandwidth on their server they save as aCAB , you can open and then select all and extract here where the files need. For the most part, these files will file dell cascading, images and Html pages.

    Try to download the network card in your computer to get the correct driver installed for your problem.

  • Desktop a6530f Pavilion, new hard drive and upgrade to Windows 7

    I have a desktop Pavilion a6530f with Vista.  My hard drive has been the production of errors, so I bought a new hard drive.  The original hard drive works pretty well as I should be able to create a recovery with a usb flash drive media.  I want to install the new hard drive (Seagate 1 TB SATA 3), and then install Windows 7 upgrade on the new drive.  Will be the ASUS M2N68 - LA / Narra3-GLBE motherboard supports SATA 3 (SATA 2 pilot courses)?  If Yes, where can I get the drivers?  Is there a Web page on the HP site for upgrade to Windows 7 on a new hard drive?  Or I just follow the guests after boot of the Windows 7 upgrade disc and enter the code of Vista product from the label on the side of the PC?

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a6530f. Based on the specifications, this model shipped from the factory with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit installed. This model supports the use of disks SATA 3, however transfer speeds will be limited to the rates for the motherboard SATA 2. No special drivers are required. Seagate 1 TB SATA 3 drive should work fine on this computer, but you may have problems using your HP recovery discs if the new drive is a Format "Advance" AF drive.

    It is unlikely that you will be able to create a recovery media on a USB FlashDrive with this computer. In my view, that this model only supports the creation of recovery DVDs.

    You have a choice of a couple of paths when it comes to the installation of Windows on your computer with a new hard drive installed.

    (1) use your HP Vista recovery disks to install Vista... This may or may not work depending on the new hard drive installed. Then, upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade disc and the Windows 7 product key printed on the certificate of authenticity provided with the Windows 7 upgrade disk. (Note: the key of Vista with Windows 7 will not work)

    (2) If you don't mind losing the "value-added" software HP originally installed on the computer, you can install Windows 7 without using Vista installed first. Install Windows 7 using the upgrade disc and the Windows 7 product key printed on the certificate of authenticity provided with the Windows 7 upgrade disk. (Do not enter the key during the installation of the window) (Note: the key of Vista with Windows 7 will not work)

    In both cases just follow the prompts as needed. I suggest to use Windows 7 SP1, because it seems to be more compatible with the new material, including readers of the AF.

    Please see HP - upgrade to Windows 7 customer care using basic upgrade or install Windows 7. Please see HP Forum - how to install Windows 7 without the disc for useful information and download for Windows 7.
