Adding a third drive for HP pavilion e9280t by using the expansion Bay

I would like to add a third sata drive in my Hp Pavilion e9280t, model # AW020AV #ABA for backups using the expansion Bay. However, I have opinions that I need a case of HW for the reader so that it will slide into the expansion Bay housing.

What I need to know, is the document number in the case of HW and the scheme of distribution of the parts for my computer to confirm the part without condition.

Kind regards

Daryl Jones

Hi Daryl,

Bay expansion is actually a 5.25 "which is usually used for an additional optical drive.  However, you can use this Bay for one SSD or an additional hard drive using a 5.25 "to 3.5" adapter Bay or a 5.25 "to 2.5" Bay adapter.

The e9280t of the firm also has berries to drive HP Pocket Media and personal media drive both of which as pluggable and portable USB hard drives.  These readers are hard to find at reasonable prices.  You might find them on eBay

  • Adding 3rd hard drive for HP Pavilion Elite m9250f

    I have a Pavilion Elite m9250f running Windows Vista Home 64 bit. The computer currently has two 500 GB hard drives for a total capacity of 1 TB. I would like to add a third drive to increase storage capacity.  I have a SATA to 2 to and cables. When I tried to install the new drive above the two existing disks, he did not slide smoothly. When I removed the already highest reader, I could slide the new drive into but the screws are not line up properly with the new drive. This leads me to believe that I can not install a third drive in the Bay. Is this a correct assumption?

    I have an available expansion Bay below the optical drive but am not sure that it is usable for a hard drive. If the use of the expansion Bay is possible, do I have to buy a hook or how to mount the drive in this space?

    If necessary, I can copy the data from the secondary drive on an external drive and replace it with the new drive. However, I need confirmation that the secondary is the player in the foreground of both in the hard disc enclosure.

    Thank you for your help.

    If the task under the existing optical Bay is open, just use an adapter to fill the space and to mount the drive in there.  Make sure of course that there is a power cord and a SATA port.

    Here is an example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816119027

  • I want to add 2 USB3 ports for my Pavilion 9667ea laptop using the available Express/54 slot.

    My question is, I want to use a: 2 ports USB 3.0 Flush Mount Expresscard 54 MM adapter card (one made by StarTech or similar) into the available Express54 slot that is currently empty. There is of course no reason to do this if the width of the Strip or BUS speed is not sufficient for USB3. I don't know what bandwidth is on the 9667ea of flag? If it's only 2.5 gb/s, then it will not be worth, but if it is 5 gb/s, then it might be interesting to do?

    Would there be other problems by doing this update, such as driver problems?

    As the Pavilion dv9667ea laptop computer was bought in 2008, so I suspect that the bus Express/54 is the ExpressCard Gen 1.0, which is the old standard. "StarTech.com" put this out in specification here.

    This means that the flow will be 2.5 GB and not the 5.0 GB for the highest specification of the ExpressCard Gen 2.0 bus. It's a shame that a port USB3 is now not worth.

    Thanks for your help.

  • 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.

    Hello:

    Unfortunately, the support pages do not work for most new PC HP.

    It has been like this for about a day now.

    Since I'm not employed by nor do I represent HP, I do not know when they will have pages working again.

    Come back again later.

    With the Independence Day holiday in the USA weekend, I wouldn't wait it to be taken care of immediately.

    If you follow these steps, I'll be able to see the drivers wireless and bluetooth, you need a professional laptop HP with the same wireless card...

    Go to Device Manager and click on the marked device network controller that should the drivers.

    Then click on the Details tab at the top of the control of the network window.

    Now, you see a drop-down list of property and it is set by default to the Description of the unit.

    Drop down on it and select 3rd in the list (Hardware ID).

    After the first string of characters that start with PCI\VEN.

    So I'll post the link to the driver you need.

    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.

  • Second hard drive for HP pavilion laptop solutionn

    Hello:

    I got a Pavilion dv7-4173us laptop in ealy December 2010 a few weeks ago...

    I also want to add a 2nd drive hard because I can't use the first hard drive

    for LINUX.

    All 4 primary partitions on the first hard disk is already used by HP to the following partition names:

    (C) windows, HP_TOOLS, RECOVERY, SYSTEM.

    I don't understand why HP has to exhaust all primary partitions.

    Most manufacturer only use towing.

    they could have put their tools and recovery files in a partition or combine withSYSTEM partition

    It seems that they do not want to support the Linux community...

    If anyone knows what primary partitions can I remove safely from the first hard drive, that would be great.

    In any case, the reason why I'm posting this is to ask if you successfully add a 2nd interal hard drive to the computer laptop dv7.

    I looked att he manul and it show where I can stable the 2nd hard drive.

    IMPORTANT observation:

    However, I notice the connector on the motherboard for the 2nd drive hard is not the same as the

    first hard drive. I also noticed there is no need of rails to support the 2nd drive hard because it it ca be mounted with a hard drive are the first screw.

    I hope that is not a connector owner.

    I would like to know what your HP solution?

    I spent about 4 + hours with HP tech and sales and still did not get a response...

    Service very poor customer... very bad for business.

    Maybe we need to know about... the Linux community bad customer service

  • USB 3.0 and WiFi/Bluetooth Win 7 x 64 driver for HP Pavilion 14-b110TX rev: 18F9-110 Ultrabook.

    Hi all

    I have this laptop that comes with Windows 8 pre - set up and I have to install Windows 7 pro on this subject.

    I noticed that this laptop has only support for Windows 8 drivers in the downloads section, but I do not have a choice and just went forward to install windows 7 pro on this subject.

    INstallation has been through enough most of the pilots in the section downloads for this model can be used on Windows 7 pro, but the only ones that do not work are namely the bluetooth, wifi and USB 3.0 drivers.

    That said, anyone has any info on what make and model exact wifi/bluetooth/usb3 chipsets are used on this model of laptop, so I can find the respective OEMs drivers instead?

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards

    Hi, Maverick:

    I think the W7 x 64 drivers for this model should work on yours. You will find the controller driver USB 3.0 chipset section.

    If you have not installed the chipset installation utility, I recommend that you first install and restart.

    DO NOT USE THE BIOS FILES

    Go to Device Manager and view the ID of the hardware for the network controller needing drivers.

    Is your wireless card.

    Once I know what model of wireless card you have, then you install the corresponding BT software and the driver for it.

    To find the hardware ID, please read the info at the link below.
