Thank you

Hey Danny,

·         What exactly is the problem you are having with the Dell computer?

Most laptops will not accept that the two internal hard drives.

You will need to check with the manufacturer of laptop for more information on the connection of two hard drives to your particular model.

You can also use a USB hard drive which you can then use to retrieve the data on your hard drive to the laptop via the USB port.

  • Can I use two hard drives in the Qosmio G40-10th

    Anyone know if it is possible to install two hard drives in this laptop. I read simewhere that it had to be two slots hard drive in it?
    If so where is it located?
    Ther would be all issues around extra heat that could be generated etc.?

    I have had mine for about 5/6 months and have had a screen replaced (defective backlight).
    Many other people have had problems?

    I wonder if its worth buy the extended warranty.

    See you soon.

    Hello

    As far as I know this laptop takes support only a single HARD disk.
    Check the underside of the laptop. Do you see a second slot (cover) the second HDD?
    I imagine that it has a single HARD drive Bay, and so only a single HARD disk can be used.

    I m not a G40 owner and, therefore, I cannot comment on any other issue.
    But each computer technology may start to malfunction it is why I always recommend buying an extended warranty.

    Best regards

  • Satellite P200-1 - can I use 2nd HARD drive?

    Hello

    I am always working on my Satellite P200-1 and now, my HDD1 is full.

    I see that there is a location for a second HDD. But I can't find the plug!

    Therefore, it is possible to connect a second HDD on my satellite P200-1BY? Because I bought a new HARD drive and I can't plug it, I only have 7 days to return the HARD drive to the store.

    Thanks for your replies!

    Hello

    If the connector to the second HARD drive is not available there is no way to use two internal hard drives.
    This HARD back and buy HDD external, placed in the HARD disk box. This HARD drive you can connect using the USB cable and it is the best solution for you.

    I guess that HARD disk internal, you have lots of data that you don't need every day and you can save it to external HARD drive. So you can do free space on the internal HARD disk.

    I do the same.

    Good bye

  • Can I use 2 hard drives on the Satellite A200-1YX

    Hello, who knows if it can work 2 hard drives on the A200 1YX.
    In the manual is written there are 2 locations for hard drives, but it says that for some models of Satellite A200.

    Can I use 2 HDD on Satellite A200-1YX?

    As mentioned by user above, different Satellite A200 series are present on the market.
    Some supports 2 hard drives and some as a single HARD drive.

    But both series are equipped with a second Bay I recommend you simply remove the cover plastic that holds the second HARD drive Bay and check if the HARD drive connectors are available.

    Remove the second HDD Bay cover and check if there are a few HARD drive connectors/pins.

  • Using another hard drive to brand in lenovo

    I own a Lenovo Thinkpad R61(8920-B6U) and think to increase storage capacity. It came with 160GB and I'll bring to 250 or 320 GB. In this regard, I have two questions:

    (1) my laptop will support a 320 GB hard drive?

    (2) can I use a hard drive other than lenovo in my notebook?  For example, I was thinking about buying a mobile hard disk WD Scorpio Black.

    Pending a positive and quick feedback!

    Welcome to the forum!

    The answers to your questions are Yes and Yes.

    FYI, Lenovo doesn't make its own hard disks but installs those manufactured by Hitachi, Fujitsu, etc. from Seagate.

    I hope this helps.

  • Photos uses iCloud only or can I simply use your hard drive?

    I am confused in regard to if I can store photos using the Photos app on my hard drive or are they only stored on the iCloud?

    Thank you very much

    Photos by default uses your hard drive. It will use only iCloud if you have iCloud lit Photos, and even then he keeps a copy of your photos on your hard drive.

  • Can satellite M70 - I use all hard drives 2.5 "?

    All HDD 2.5 "can be put in Satellite M70 or they must have specific dimensions? For example, I thin on Samsung spinpoint [model: http://www.pricerunner.com/pl/36-765680/Hard-Drives/Samsung-SpinPoint-T166-320GB-SATAII-7200rpm-Compare-Prices].

    It will be OK for my laptop?

    Hello!

    As far as I know the Satellite M70 was available with hard drives SATA and IDE hard drives. If you have a SATA HDD, you can use this HARD drive.

    The Satellite M70 takes to load only SATA150 (SATA1) but this isn't a problem. All SATA2 HDDs runs SATA1 mode and are 100% compatible.

  • How can I recover data hard drive XP in Visa 64 bit computer?

    Other than using a hard drive in XP as a slave in a computer 64 bit Vista, how can I recover the files in the drive XP given that the motherboard of the computer broken XP?

    Hi, amymay5!

    You can retrieve any information on the disk hard until you connect it to a mother's work. So, if you have a Vista computer, the option to connect as a slave is easier to achieve your goal.

    Good luck!
