• Adding a second SATA drive to e9250t

  I would add a second ATA drive on my desk e9250t. I think that everything should be simple: the motherboard has two spare SATA connectors and several additional power connectors from the power supply. Should I change something in the settings of the BIOS (I have no manual for BIOS)? I don't want NO of RAID, just two separate internal SATA disks - I assume that Windows 7 will be assigned the next available drive letter to the new drive. Am I missing something? If someone else did and has knowledge to share, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

  You'll be fine. Installing the drive as it comes out of the retail packaging. Partition and format the new drive clean through the console/computer management disk management and it will assign the next drive letter as you state (or any other letter you choose).  Right click on "computer" and select "manage" and the console appears, select disk management. It will ask you to open the drive is OK, then format, then you can assign the drive letter. If you have any questions the BIOS are accessible with F10, but as long as the new drive is not bootable it will not interfere with the successful launch of Windows 7 since the original drive.

• I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?

  I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?  Somewhere in the 320 to 500 GB range and I want a quick unit because it will be used for rendering videos.    Thank you for your response.

  Hello

  How fast is fast is the real question.

  Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

  Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

  Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

  Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.

• Adding a second hard drive to a 500-380nf Pavilion?

  I just bought a new 500-380nf Pavilion.

  In the store I did understand the seller I was intending to add second hard drive to a 1 to SATA (which I already loaded with all my media files).

  However, now I am home and have taken the side panel, it seems that the system a capacity for 2 more SATA connections on the motherboard, power cable from spare at least one and a lot of physical space.

  BUT the chassis appears to have been designed with ONLY 2 bays - that are occupied by the existing hard drive and the optical drive.   Am I missing something?   There is a place to mount the second hard drive, isn't there?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Some models of the HP 500 - xxx series are provsioned for a 2.5 device "(SDD ou HD)."  See the image below.

  

  If you have removed the optical drive you can then use a 5.25 "to two hard drive adapter 2.5"since you mentioned a 2.5 hard drive".

• Windows 7 - HP Pavilion HPE h8 - 1360t I added a second hard drive

  I installed a seagate (seagate 2 TB Barracuda SATA) second drive on my desktop computer.  When I got to the top I could go to the control panel and not see under the heading records.  Seagate said to go to the BIOS and choose 'Auto Connect your new drive', but there is no other choice to Auto Connect.  If anyone can tell me who is the right choice on the BIOS screen to find and identify my new second hard drive?

  Hello

  In the disk management window, right-click on your new HARD drive and select Format to start the wizard.  Windows 7 will affect a Volume label so if your happy with it, just leave the default.  File system is NTFS.  Allocation unit size must be left by default.  Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done.  Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.

  Once this done, your new HARD disk should now appear when you look under the computer.

  Kind regards

• HP Pavilion 510n - adding the Second hard drive?

  A few questions...

  1. is there a size limit for any player second, I would like to add?

  2. What is the procedure for adding the second disc?

  -J' added a second drive to an OLD pc before and it involved linking the second slot on an IDE cable, change the jumper on the slave drive settings, and modify the bios settings... it would be similar?

  Hello TSobiech, it is always best to ask to order a part that is not compatible with a certain system.

  The hard disk that you show the link should work perfectly. Even if it's an ATA100, and your system supports ATA33/66, this disc should still work but will be downclocked to ATA66 speed.

  Here is another link to a 250 GB IDE HDD if you might be interested.

  You won't notice much, if any, degradation in performance to the difference in speed. These IDE drives are higher than the price a SATA with the same capacity, but they are becoming harder to find.

  Since you want to be using as operating in car system, but just a backup drive, they want to make a difference.

  If you want to make use of the full speed of ATA100, you could add a map of IDE controller supporting ATA100, but I really don't think it would.

  Since you mentioned the intermediate layer of IDE as not being used, you can connect the new drive to this connector.

  Now, there are a few things that you should check that you install the new hard drive. These are the connectors of jumper on hard drives.

  This is the very small plastic with metal inserts, at the end of the hard drive where are the other connectors.

  I always use the CSEL (CS) on two hard drives. Readers may already have jumpers to this setting (jumpers connection), but if not, you must set two hard drives the selection of cables (CS).

  Since the current IDE hard drive is the boot hard drive and an ATA66, it must be connected to thin ribbon cable connector, as it is now, and the new hard drive attached to the middle connector IDE. The slowest speed of the two hard drives will result in two hard drives running at the slower of the two speeds. It will work very well.

  You need to partition and format the new hard disk before it can be used. This can be done from Windows if necessary.

  I hope this helps.

• Adding a second hard drive Pavilion Elite HPE-163uk

  Is it possible to add a second hard drive in a 163uk HPE?

  I have a second drive in my old PC (which I think is IDE) containing a large amount of data that I would put rather just in the HPE163uk instead of transferring it everywhere.

  The new HP HPE PCs series is all models of disk hard sata port.  Buy an external USB enclosure for your old hard drive.

• Presario CQ5110F: COMPAQ Presario CQ5110F adding a second hard drive and...

  Good so I took the lead when writing my original post on how to combine the two computers successfully.
  Not enough research, no question, just a little say aloud... Sorry about that.
  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/HP-Pavilion-slimline-s3505f-amp-...

  I had little time today messing with both ' puters and discovered...
  They need a good cleaning and had.
  The noise of the Presario is indeed the fan on the radiator, it's just old and tired. Who cannot be strong in a music room; new fan may not be too expensive.
  So I decided the Presario is my starting point.

  I would add the hard drive of the Slimline as slave; they have different connectors tho.

  (1) if I just unplug the V2000 CD reader (that has the straight plugs) and use them to connect the second hard drive will I just lost my CD player? It is very good.
  (2) what parameters of rider (if any) do I need to have on each disc? Do not see outside the car Slimlines.

  I looked closer 2 slots for RAM and noticed that beside them there seems to be 2 places in addition to the Board of Directors, unused with no present holders plastic.

  (3) is it possible to add more slots and double the RAM? I would get 8 + GB and a 64-bit system end by ;~)

  Neither office seems to have the ability to run 2 monitors as is. No problem 29 "should do for now.
  Can't see a way to take the card out of the Slimline wireless and put it in the Presario. Internet not immediately necessary, hard connection cable always an option.

  All the other tips and advice on how to optimize my sytem are also welcome.
  Thank you for your time and helping an old guy handyman.
  See you soon!

  Hard drives has no different connectors if they are both SATA specifications like other post indicated.

  There is no adjustment to make on hard disks of the rider SATAS. According to me, that one can think of the old school the IDE drives.

  ) If I just unplug the V2000 CD reader (that has the straight plugs) and use them to connect the second hard drive will I just lost my CD player? It is very good.

  The image below is a diagram for your motherboard. You have enough SATA ports to be used for the second and even a third hard drive.

  

  DDR2 memory modules can be a little difficult to source. The current generation of add-on memory is the DDR3 specification.

  Perform a Google or any search engine is your preference in the memory of the source by using the update of Compaq presario CQ5110F RAM as keywords.

• Try adding the second hard drive

  Hello

  I bought a 500-154th Pavilion in December to replace my aging system Vista. This Vista machine, finally, died yesterday, so I want to bring out the old WD 320 disc (disc SATA Cavier, manufactured in 2007) and put it in the new HP to recover some files. I have attached SATA and power cables and lit. Machine worked OK, but haven't seen the old drive in Windows 8.

  I booted up the BIOS and it was perfectly listed, model number, everything, so I knew that the connections were OK. I checked the SATA ports in respect of the security of the devices and they are all enabled. If I go to Control Panel/Device Manager, it is not listed. If I check computer/manage the Virtual Drive Manager does not display it. The 320 GB which is held from the Vista operating system, but I don't see that it made a difference that I'm not the start of it. I assumed it would seem and what, if anything, I have to assign a drive letter.

  I am a bit puzzled and open to all ideas.

  Hello stoke_ferry,

  Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I understand that your old Vista computer ultimately failed and you put your desktop HP Pavilion 500-154th PC hard drive to retrieve files and it does not work. Have you thought this might be the item failed in your Vista computer? If you did all the appropriate measures to add a second hard drive and it sounds as if you have and it appears not it could be the faulty and you will not be able to recover the information easily. There are companies that can recover your data, but the cost will be very high.

  I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

• Adding a second hard drive

  I have a HP Pavilion P6716F. The vehicle currently has a 1 TB hard drive (HD #1). I want to add a second hard drive of 2 TB (HD #2).

  I have a SATA connector cable, but you need to know what SATA on Alvorix RS880 port plug in. There is a white SATA P2 next to a P1 blue SATA to which is connected the current hard drive (HD #1). Is SATA P2 the right port to plug the second disc (HD #2)

  What I need to populate the second disc? If so, it seems that there are spare connectors which could be used. One of them is close by the power supply for hard disk #1. HD #1 is connected to a connector marked P4. P4 connector is divided (siamesed) another identical connector marked P5. The second hard drive (HD #2) must be plugged into this connector?

  Kostas,

  has worked like a charm. Thanks to a bouquet.

• Pavilion 500-189: usefulness of adding additional memory to a computer desktop Pavilion 500-189

  Hi - I think adding memory RAM additional to my desktop HP Pavilion computer model 500-189, bought in February 2014. It runs under Windows 10 home ed., 64 bit with RAM total to 10 GB. The computer has 4 memory slots and currently only 2 are used: slot 1 has a card 2 GB Hynix/Hyundai 1600 MHz and slot 2 has a card 8 GB Kingston 1600 MHz.

  I'm currently pondering adding a single 4 GB DDR3 1600 MT/s PC3-12800 CL11 map of 240 pin unbuffered UDIMM in each of the last two slots to bring the memory total amount up to 18 GB. The total cost would be less than US $40.

  My question: This inexpensive upgrade will not improve the performance of my computer or is - this exaggeration only change?

  Comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Graphene, welcome to the forum.

  Now, we are dealing here with reviews.  The sweet spot for memory seems to be 8 GB with Win 10.  In fact, I read that you will be hard to see a difference between 8 and 16 GB.  I use a laptop of Omen HP with 8 GB memory game.  It manages all the games that I played very well.  As you said, you already have 10 GB of memory and the processor is very fast.

  Yet once, is discussed in the opinion.  In my opinion, the best upgrade that can be done today is an SSD.  My HP Omen loads games and programs incredibly quick and starts in 7 seconds or less.  I used a Samsung EVO 840 500 GB SSD in HP Phoenix Gaming desktop computer.  Again, it was incredibly fast.  Here is the SSDthat are recommended by Crucial memory.  They make great products for OEM computers.  I found the research that Samsung SSD seem to work better with HP motherboards and normally don't require changes to the BIOS works properly out of the box.   In addition, Samsung has its own Migration of data and Software Wizard software to fine-tune the SSD after installation.

  This should give you pause.  If you decide to go with an SSD, I'd be happy to tell you how I did the installation.  It has worked well for me.

• 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 desktop P7-1010

  Hi, I realize that the P7-1010 system has a VERY large 1 t HD but since I have a 500 GB SATA (from my old system), I thought that I install it and use it for backup.  I saw the instructions from HP and I'm a bit confused and would appreciate help.  The 'old' HD didn't come with all the cables, so my first question is, what cable do I?  Then I had a moment difficult folling where on the MB, the cable is connected, can you please advise me where to place the cable? I think that those are the only issues at this time but you would be grateful if you could please advise me of some other things I should know / know?

  Thank you

  Bob

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP p7-1010 and here are the specifications of its card mother-N-Alvorix-RS880-formfat (Alvorix).

  

  Referring to the picture above, the ports locked into the RED area are SATA ports. Connect the cable from the SATA drive to a SATA port. You will want to purchase a cable SATA data and a disc hard molex 4pin adapter SATA power. Please follow these instructions from HP for 'replacing or adding a hard drive' for more details.

• 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.
