Can satellite A300 - 15 k (PSAJ4E) - I add a second HARD drive?

Hello

I have Toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 k (PSAJ4E) and my question is, can I add second HARD drive? Now, I have a HARD inside drive, Hitachi 250 GB, 5400 RPM. is there a place for the second HARD drive?

I want to buy some 2.5 in 7200 RPM, thx in advance.

Hello

Check the bottom of the unit.
There should be a second HARD drive Bay.
If the second HARD drive bay contains the pins of the connector HDD/then you could add a second HARD drive 2.5 SATA.
If the connector is not available, then the second HDD is not possible.

See you soon

    Hello

    While you can certainly add another HARD drive in the Bay of secondary drive (you must also support and the connection cable) you can't boot from it - only in the Bay of primary HARD drive is bootable.

  • Add the second hard drive to a desktop Pc HP Pavilion P6-2100

    I want to add a second hard drive to a HP Pavilion A1700n Pc desktop to a new HP Pavilion P6-2100 Desktop Pc, so I can transfer files.

    milehisb,

    Welcome on the user forums.  Section manuals PDF from HP did not offer a guide to upgrade and Service.

    There are several options, depending on your needs and your expertise with the internal components of a computer.

    If you goal is to simply get the data off the drive, then put it back in the A1700n, I would use #1.

    (1) use this external adapter for occasional use:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002

    (2) first search to find if you have a spare Sata power plug. Or you will need an adapter (molex 4pin to Sata).

    As the player in question is VIsta, it does not start correctly and could delay the start of WIN7.

    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.

  • Add the second hard drive to HPE-400Z

    I am trying to add a secondary hard drive to expand the storage space that I only have 10% of free space on the current.

    "Will buy one online" Seagate Desktop drive HARD 2 to 7200 tr / MIN SATA 6 Gb/s 64 MB Cache 3.5 "-drive retail Kit internal (STBD2000101)" enters the cage OK? Existing drive is Seagate 1 TB guess so, but do not get it and discover it doesn't work.

    This disc has new SATA data and power cables.

    It is clear that there is a free connection of motherboard "SATA2" for data, I can see it. Sounds easy.

    What I can't understand is where and how the POWER cable is connected to... or what might be able to be used which already exists for power connectors in the office. There is a certain and they all have beautiful marking... "P3,"P8",...".

    I found instructions on installing hard drive on HP site... everything is clear for me except for this problem of power cable.

    Did he help me with that?

    GWRootjr, welcome to the forum.

    This is an adapter 'Y' which should solve your problem:

  • Add the second hard drive in the Dell Optiplex 780 SFF

    Hello

    I have dell Optiplex 780 SFF (Small Form Factor) PC. It has 3 options of SATA. I want to add 2nd hard drive in it, but I see no power for 2 hard drive cable.

    At the present time, I have a SATA Hard Drive and a SATA Super Combo. But the power cable from the SATA Super combo is very unique, I can not able to give the power of this cable to my 2nd hard drive.

    Is it possible to add 2 hard disk in the PC case?

    Best regards

    Dani

    Hi Dani,

    The SFF is using a drive slim lens that does not have a standard SATA power connection. You will need to buy an adapter or a SATA power cable splitter to power a second hard drive.

  • How to add a second hard drive Ubuntu Server, that runs on vmware workstation 9

    Hello

    I am running vmware workstation on windows 9 8, and I installed Ubuntu 12.10 as a virtual machine on my SSD. I installed a second hard drive in the machine and use the "Add a HDD" feature on vmware workstation to add and pre-allocate space. The problem is that the drive does not appear in Ubuntu. I have checked/Media and / dev, I expected to see something like /sda *. It is a procedural step, I missed it, please help!

    Do I have to mount the drive in a special way? How can I check if it is properly attached?

    Thank you!

    What you said so far, it's like adding a second physical drive to a physical computer and the operating system cannot access until it was partitioned and formatted, and then it can be mounted.  To do the same thing in a VM!

  • HP compaq 8200 elite sff: Add the second hard drive to 8200 elite sff

    I installed a second hard drive, but the system does not reqagnize it.  I connected the blue sata port.  Any help?

    Well shit, now I have to retype my response... I typed in Notepad, but it seems that I can't copy and paste into this box.

    I agree with DFBonnett, the second disc will only work on the BLACK, not BLUE light connector.

    The way I Win-10 to see the second drive was to go to the management of the computer, and then under storage, click Disk Management: the drive is presented as a disc 1 but not show the program explores until I received a letter from the disk drive... MAGIC, the player will now display as the letter assigned to the I gave him 'E' with a backup label.

    I tried what erico posted but has not worked, but I thank all of you who have tried to help.

    I give credit to Umbutu, he saw the drive without having to do anything myself.

    Hey Microsoft, look at what Linux can do... lol

  • Add the second hard drive for HP Pavilion dv7-3173nr

    So rumor is my DV7 may take a second hard drive.

    So I got a second drive, open the bottom where the reader will, and there is no SATA connector. Apparently I need a shopping cart or something, but I can't. Am I missing something obvious?

    Thank you.

    Yes you need a shopping cart and a connector. The interface is not a standard SATA plug... There is a cable that connects the SATA drive in a small plug in the second Bay.

  • How to add a second hard drive in a T42

    I have a T42 with a DVD/CD R / w. My current hard drive is 40 GB and it is running Windows XP Service Pack 3. I would like to install a second hard drive for extra storage. What do you recommend for an extra hard drive and can be installed in place of the removable DVD/CD drive? Because the currently installed DVD player uses the UltraBay, I think just remove and install additional hard drive in the UltraBay slot should be possible. Please notify. Thank you in advance.

  • Add the second hard drive

    I replaced a faulty computer with a second hand replacement. Both are programmed with XP and the same browser. I installed the HDD in the position of the Tower slave, plugged the cable and Ribbon secondary and put power cord.  The computer does not recognize the additional hardware. Y at - it an easy way to simple transfer of data to the new hard drive, or is there a way to access the second hard disk drive so I can use the computer program?

    You have misused terminology in this issue, so it's a little difficult to determine what your problem may be caused.

    What do you mean by "the computer does not recognize the additional hardware?  Only shows drive in disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)?  If the player appears in disk management, but not in my computer, you may need to use disk management to assign a drive letter.

    It seems that if you want to take the faulty computer hard drive (in condition, of course, was not the hard drive itself which was defective) and put it in another computer.

    There is no such thing as a "slave of the Tower position."  Likely, you just put the old drive into an available drive Bay.

    Generally, the 'secondary' water is used for optical drives - not a second hard drive.  Usually, if there is only one hard drive, it is connected to the connector at the end of the water and the second hard drive is connected via the connector in the middle of the cable.  The cable connected to the primary IDE connector on the motherboard should be a 80 wire cable, while the other may be a 40 wire cable:http://www.mikeshardware.com/howtos/howto_connect_ide_hd.html

    When you have 2 drives connected on the same cable 80 wire, one is the 'master' (the one linked at the end of the cable) and the other is the "slave".  You specify the drive to this topic, what you are doing by correctly setting the jumper on the pins at the rear of the car.  You set the jumper on a 'master' and the other as 'slave' or two disks can be set for "Cable Select" If both support this and you have the special cable Select "Cable".

    However you connect, you must make sure that the drive of the old computer is defined as the slave drive, because you do NOT want to start from this installation of Windows.

    The foregoing assumes that both drives are the older IDE type of walk.  If one or both are SATA drives, it is quite something different.
