• Adding additional hard drive in SAN

  Hello, I am fairly new with the help of vmware ESX 3.5 update... I currently have the ESX Server that is installed on a server in which I intend to add SCSI drive additional and not sure what the procedure, bottlenecks, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated

  You can add new readers to the MSA1000 and create a new table. HPACUCLI does not host ESX (last I heard). You can set the table using the output of the band run configuration port, or you can install minicom on the ESX host and configure the table in this way.

  Here is a link to the CLI reference

• Adding an additional hard drive

  Have an emachine with windows vista upgrade, I put an extra GI on my PC to make 1.5 G. I want to add an additional hard drive. I now have a120GB hard drive. I have an another emachine with a 160 GB hard drive, but my problem is the 120 GB is 32 bit and the 160 GB is 64-bit. My question is that I can use the disk 160GB of hard drive without any problem, most 120 GB hard drive?

  The drive works perfectly.  Any hard drive can operate in 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Boulder computer Maven

• Adding an additional hard drive in a small factor dc7900

  I try many ways to install an additional hard drive but no luck, was installing 2 Sata and Sata 3 decision-making, but did not work, just like to know if it is possible to add an additional Sata hard drive to the PC, one of the factory (Original) is too small, I thank you in advance...

  Always learning, is never too late

  Not sure if you have the ultra thin or small form factor (if)... but I don't see why you shouldn't be able to add an additional hard drive. In fact, HP has even some videos of support on how to do...

  If you have the data and power cable attached, the reader should appear under the general tab of the BIOS. You shouldn't have to do something with jumpers on the drive and it does not matter what sata connector you put it in.

  Is that the new bad drive? Install in another PC to see if it works...

• DV7-6c95dx: ADDING 2nd HARD DRIVE WE DV7

  ADDING 2ND HARD DRIVE - IT DOES NOT APPEAR UNDER MY COMPUTER - I DON'T KNOW IF SA FORMATTING OR NOT - CAN GET SOME DIRECTIONS - THANK YOU

  How did you add it? Where's the hardware mounting hard disk? In any State of cause, assuming that you have installed a hard drive was bought, it would be empty and needs be initialized (mounted) and formatted. To find computer or this PC in the right click menu... Choose manage, disk management and you will see a Visual representation of the hard drives. It can automatically prompts you to initialize the disk. Once do you that and format it in ntfs and assign a drive letter and the name of the volume, it will appear in the computer as a lettered drive.

• Can I add an additional hard drive storage?

  A 40 GB hard drive, I installed in my computer and I would like to know what would be the best practice to install an additional hard drive?

  A 40 GB hard drive, I installed in my computer and I would like to know what would be the best practice to install an additional hard drive?

  Basically, you have two choices:

  1. install a second hard drive (only possible if your computer has physical space for this)

  2. replace your 40 GB with a bigger drive.

  If you add or replace, there are two important factors you need to consider size and interface type.  Most laptops use 2.5-inch disks.  Most of office/towers use 3.5-inch disks.  There are several different hard drive interfaces, and you get a drive that has the same interface as your computer.

  Most older computers use the Parallel ATA interface (PATA or sometimes simply ATA).  These discs are also called IDE disks.  There are several variations, but those generally available today is the Ultra ATA66 IDE / ATA - 5, Ultra ATA100 IDE / ATA - 6 and the Ultra ATA133 IDE / ATA-7.  The numbers refer to the data transfer rate.  No matter the data transfer capacity of the disc, however, your actual data transfer rates will be limited by your motherboard.  Finally, you'll notice an RPM rating and a size of "cache".  For the performance, in general, the higher these numbers the better the performance.

  Number of computers more recent uses the interface Serial ATA (SATA).  There are three versions of the present.  SATA-1 (1.5 Gbps), SATA-2 (3 Gbps) and SATA-3 (6 Gbps).  However, given that you currently have a 40 GB drive, it is strong enough to bet that you have NOT of SATA.

  Another interface is SCSI.  You have probably not SCSI.

  The starting point is by identifying the brand and model of your computer.  If you have a desktop/Tower computer, you can buy almost any hard drive, that you like; laptops can be a bit more picky.  A good resource for readers (once you know what you want) is newegg.com  Drive Solutions offer one advice that should tell you what players are compatible with your computer.

  If you choose to replace rather than add them, you will need to 'clone' of your existing to the new drive.  To do this, you will need appropriate software.  Sometimes, the software basic disk of cloning comes with the disk (remember to read the product description or email/call the seller before you buy).  Sometimes, it is available as a free download from the manufacturer of the drive (for example, if you buy a Western Digital drive, WD has "Acronis True Image WD Edition Software").  Or you can get your own copy of various applications of cloning, some are free, but more for sale.

  If you replace a laptop (or a drive in a desktop/tower with no computer available drive Bay), you can buy an external hard drive enclosure.  There are a variety of them.  Just be sure to get one with the internal interface correctly to match the drive and an external interface that is compatible with your computer (usually, USB 2.0).  External hard disk enclosure are sometimes comes with disk cloning software.  And, once your new drive is in place and functioning satisfactorily, you can put the old drive in the box and erase (format) it and use it as a backup drive.

  Above sounds a lot more complicated than it is.  You will probably find even the process YouTube videos, if you look at.

• Guest VM, or additional hard drives ESX iSCSI initiator?

  We'll install Exchange 2010 on a Server 2008 R2 VM... is there disadvantages of adding several hard drives and for dealing with the ESX iSCSI traffic?  Or would it be better to use the initator iSCSI in the VM guest to connect to the San (EqualLogic PS4000)?

  If we continue the road of iSCSI initiator that I'll have to do some networking finageling since our iSCSI traffic is spread over a separate... switch then I'll probably have to add a VM network to the virtual switch and add a second NETWORK card to the guest VM... It would be simpler just to add more hard drives, but I don't know what is the (positive or negative) impact it would have on performance.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  the difference in performance between a vmdk and a RDM is something that can be ignored safely, there are many autour benchmarks that show how VMDK is basically fast a RDM disk, but you can avoid all the complexities of managing iscsi RDM inside virtual machines by going with vmdk.

  Basically, the only need IMHO to use a RDM is if you need to create a Microsoft Cluster inside VMware.

  Ciao,.

• Adding an additional HARD drive to Dell Dimension 4600

  HARD drive how much can this system take, I ask because I want to add an additional hunting with taken all readers currently in PC (2). Any help would be appreciated. Regards.Johno65

  Hi John,.

  Thank you for your response.

  Dimension 4600 system board connectors are as follows:

  • Connector 40 pin primary IDE channel
  • Connector 40 pin IDE secondary channel
  • Floppy drive 34 pin
  • 7-pin Serial ATA connector (2)

  The Dimension 4600 supports up to 4 ATA/100 devices on 2 IDE channels. However, it has flanges/casing for two drives internally accessible only. If you do not connect a third drive internally, there is no place to fix in the system chassis (such as the hard drive bays can contain only 2 hard drives) so it could be hung out of the system. Alternatively, you can connect external USB hard drives as needed on the system.

  Answer please if you have other queries.

  Thank you and best regards.

• Adding an additional hard drive to a p2-1334 HP

  Never thought I would hear myself say that 500 GB was insufficient, but it is.

  Can I add an extra terabyte as a slave to this PC?

  Thanks in advance for any help

  -Greg

  Your desktop HP p2-1334 has only two SATA ports and no physical space in the case of 2nd hard drive. Short answer is a resounding no you can, however, replace the current 500 GB drive with a greater capacity. 1 TB to 2 TB

• HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe CTO Desktop PC adding 2nd hard drive

  I have added a second hard drive to my system (3 TB Seagate) that is the same (brand / model) on the main drive.  Device Manager sees the drive, but Win 7 Pro does not see the drive.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Look in to the new hard drive disk management.  To use the full capacity of the drive, you'll need to be initialized and he the GPT format.  Don't forget to assign a drive letter and a volume name.  In addition, make sure that the drive appears as online and not in offline mode.

• Ran memory hard drive, added a hard drive and hopeing I can combine somehow.

  I have added a second hard drive with XP on it. I have the second disk set to CSEL. I have a gateway pc. It appears in Device Manager. I was hopeing to combine them, a bit like you can do with vista. I put in wrong place

  If the primary transmission is set to Cable Select, you have set the jumperr on the extra disc correctly.

  If the primary transmission is set to master, you must assign additional drive SLAVE jumpers

  Assuming that both show in BIOS, Device Manager and Windows Explorer, you cannot combine the two discs.

  What you can do is freshly format additional drive and then move all files data yourr on him... Mike Hall MVP - Windows Desktop Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/

• OS x 10.8 guest - do not install additional hard drives at startup

  Hello

  I am running OSX ML 10.8.3 and Fusion 5.0.3 and whirl ML 10.8.3 and.app as a guest for Netboot and DeployStudio.

  I added additional virtual hard disks for this virtual machine for the storage of the image. They are IDE, drives hard line - standard stuff. Several times when I start the guest additional drives do not mount. In disk utility I see them but can mount them, and if I do a repair disk it just runs forever, does nothing I think. If I restart the guest they sometimes mount and are fine, no damage. Other times I have to restart several times to get them.

  Has anyone else seen elsewhere?

  Thank you

  Chris

  Hi Chris,

  Is there a reason you chose IDE instead of SCSI?

  Recent versions of Mac OS doesn't get along well with the virtual hard drives on our emulated PIIX4 IDE controller, which is why we default to SCSI drives creating Mac OS VMs and the addition of hard drives for them.  I strongly recommend that stick you with a SCSI virtual hard drives for Mac OS clients.

  See you soon,.

• Phoenix 860-170VR: adding additonal hard drive

  I would add additonal hard drive to my PC and I see there are locations for additional disks, but looks like I need rails to mount the disk, so it can slide into the slot. HP sells these rails and if yes, someone has a link or a reference number?

• Additional hard drive

  I've added a 2nd hard drive for my wife P6310T today and it is not recognized, when you go to my computer, it appears correctly in the Manager of devices and also when you do the PF10 in setup, said the right information just like the main drive. How can I get it works please? Thank you

  Hello

  You may need to format the new HARD drive - try the following.

  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.  Right-click on your new HARD drive and select Format to start the wizard.  Windows 7 will affect a Volume label, so if you're 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

• Pavilion P6-2125 - adding additional hard disks

  Nice day.

  Can I add additional hard disks SATA internal? Is the power supply sufficient to allow this? In addition, this will void the warranty?

  Thank you, Joe

  Hi, Joe:

  When I look at the upgrade and maintenance of your PC guide, I don't get a hard drive Bay.

  So, I would say that your PC is not configured to handle more than one hard drive.
