Hard drive adapter 5,25 inches

I have a HP e9280t.  It comes from the factory with two hard drives and a DVD.  I would like to add a third hard drive.  It sounds simple enough, but obviously, it will go in the single Bay empty 5.25 ".  I need to find an adapter for 3.5 "hard drives that are compatible with the Bay 5.25" without tool.  I was hoping that HP has sold a part, but if they do, they hide it of course on their website.  Can anyone recommend such an adapter?  Thank you.

Have you given up on the idea, or have you found a workaround?

I think putting the empty adapter in its place and drill a hole in the chassis and the adapter.  It looks like I can then use a self-tapping screw to lock the adapter in place.

Thanks for the reply.

    Hello

    First of all, you need to use the HARD drive adapter selectable right Bay which is compatible with the Portege S100.

    I found an and it seems that the HARD drive adapter Bay selectable PA3408U-1ETC is the right!
    Case Interface is serial ATA (SATA). And the Serial - ATA 80GB HDD Kit PA3407U - 1 H 80 must be compatible with the select Bay case

  • HARD drive adapter vs autonomy...?

    Hi guys,.

    Forgive me if my question have been discussed before, impossible to find all threads...

    I think with the purchase of the HARD drive adapter for my T410 so that I can place a 2nd HDD optical drive, thought to 1 TB. My question is, how much battery life will be affected if I go that direction?

    All input will be greatly appreciated

    Omar

    Generally, it will be as much as relugar HARD drive inside. Usually going to have impact on battery life 30-60 minutes-depending on the use of the HARD disc.

    7200 RPM hard drives drain more and are often noisier and definitelly get a little hotter than 5400 prm. So I would suggest with 5400 RPM HARD drive.

  • Tecra M5: Need for a Slim Select Bay HARD drive adapter

    I bought the Tecra M5 last week and I'm very happy with it, but I also bought the disc adapter HARD Slim SelectBay (number PA3134U-2CTE)
    I already have a hard drive to go inside, but upon arrival, I found that they are not compatible, and I need a caddy / adapter plate so that it all works!

    Anyone have any ideas on a market after copy?
    I spent the last 4 hours of the day on the phone with various departments within Toshiba and suppliers, of which none seem to be able to help. I'm going to spend 280 on a 100 GB HARD drive, when a 120 gig on his own is only 120, I think 160 for the plate of the evasive / caddy is too expensive!

    Cheers in anticipation.

    Hello

    I found information on the net that the adapter Slim Select Bay drive HARD PA3134U-2CTE is a really good part, and I imagine that you must now only a compatible HARD drive.
    The drive HARD and any other compatible parts, you can order from the Toshiba service partner in your country.

  • Need info on the HARD drive adapter and utility installation Vista on Equium A110

    I am the owner of a satellite A110 - 233 (PSAB2E), and I've recently upgraded to Vista after installing 2 GB of RAM. However, I was somewhat short space hard disk and I dealt with a new 120 GB HARD drive. However, it seems that the computer has an interface of edge, like the current Hitachi TravelStar HARD drive connector - it's not like there's a plug of the adapter on the disk. Anyone know where I can get an adapter for my hard drive of 40 pins 'traditional '?

    After I installed Vista and flashing my BIOS, I have ConfigFree reiinstalled and value added package (among other pilots). However, running ConfigFree always leads to a crash with the ID of BSOD "NO_MORE_IRC_STACK_LOCATIONS."
    In regards to the PPV, I mainly wanted it for energy savings. However, searching for him gives only 'Power Saver help'.

    Can someone give me guidance here? Thank you.

    Hello

    Did you know that you have a disk serial - ata of your machine which is not compatible with the standard IDE (40 pins)? You won´t get a spindle adapter 40 to serial ATA, SATA is a completely different technology to the IDE.
    You will need to return the drive, you bought and buy a disc serial - ata, that will fit your machine.

    A small idea on my side about your BSOD:

    Download the powersaver and the configfree for vista on the internet (it is a good address: http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp) and reistall that stuff, maybe it helps.

  • DV7-6195us, a 15mm high hard drive adapt?

    I have a laptop DV7-6195us.

    I want to upgrade the hard drive in the drive Bay Second to a Western Digital WD20NPVT, 2 TB hard drive. This drive is 15mm high. My current drives are 9.5 mm in Bay 1, 12.5 mm in bay 2.

    The larger hard drive will fit inside the bay, with or without secondary hard drive bay changing? If the change is necessary, what is involved for the mod?

    Thank you.

    Dave

    Dave1290,

    Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion dv7-6195us Entertainment Notebook computer. Here is the HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide for your computer. According to the "maintenance and Service Guide", Page 6 - Chapter 1 - "Product Description", only the following drive formats are supported;

    Hard drives - Supports 6.35 - cm (2.5 in.) 12.7 mm hard drives (.50in), 9.5 mm (. 37-in) and 7.0 mm (. 28 - in.) thick

    According to the information above, the answer is that a 15mm disc does not fit into your computer. Change can allow the reader to adapt, but could compomise the drive and/or computer. I wouldn't recommend any change to this effect.

  • Where can I find an another hard drive adapter?

    When I replaced my hard drive on my laptop, my torn hardrive adapter so I could find another adapter hard disk like Wal-Mart or best buy?

    It is unlikely that any local/repair depot/jobber provider has a part on the spot. They might be able and willing to order one for you. According to the manufacturer, it may be available through their web site. Sometimes, it takes a lot to dig through menus and searches to find the ads.

    I assumed that the height of the HARD drive is key here, so not so many restrictions on the HARD drive, is that OK? I could get an SSD as well as long as the height is very well, just?

    Thank you for your help.

    Best regards

    Yes, absolutely. Stick with 2.5 inches wide, 9.5 or 7 mm thickness SATA hdd or SSD. 7 mms are leaner, but the mounting holes are in the same place and the SATA data connector and the power supply is in the same place. You cannot use a 9.5 where only a 7mm is used as on Ultrabooks ultraslim, but a 7mm will replace a 9.5 mm. 7mm fits into the caddy and connectors will still work the drive but does not fill the carriage upwards. Yours is a chunky fellow that originally had a 9.5 mm drive. Sometimes you see disks of 2.5 inches wide from 12mm for blades and those who are not fit.

    If it's in the budget, get an SSD. I'm kinda an envangelist SSD, but you will be too once you have used a.

  • W520 Ultrabay second hard drive adapter

    Hello

    I just bought a W520 and I would had an SSD.

    The idea is to remove the current HARD drive, place a SSD in place, remove the optical drive Ultra Bay and place the (deleted) HARD drive. I would like to know if I should order an adapter to connect the HARD drive in the Bay of the Ultra.

    I found this: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/frweb/LenovoPortal/fr_FR/catalog.workflow:item.detai...

    I called Lenovo French support center but they say clearly.

    Thanks for your time.

    Hello BGI:

    Personally, I don't think it's a problem that the UltraBay tape for the hard drive is shorter than 3 mm slot.  My guess (strictly a guess), it's that there are other models of laptops Lenovo out there who cannot accept a high 9 mm UltraBay object and makes Lenovo a deliberate choice to ensure that the UltraBay tapes would fit into all different machines - rather than having a second version that only fit in series W520.

    The tape drive does not come with the computer (the computer comes with a CD/DVD player, except if you have ordered a RAID instead).  The tape drive is an option that must be controlled.  I ordered mine as I placed the order for the computer.

  • 6000 Inspiroron hard drive adapter

    Hi all

    I hope you can help me. I have an Inspiroron of 6000 with an IDE interface for hard disk. I lost the plastic adapter that allows the hard disk to connect to the laptop.

    Anyone know the part number for this part? It is a piece thin rectangle black plastic which connects to the hard drive pins and exposes the connection infetface required so that the hard disk can be inserted into the laptop.

    The reason why I ask here is that I can't get a response when sounds line Support of Dell. For some strange reason, they do not seem to understand what I'm trying to describe.

  • How to hold the safe HARD drive in the Ultrabay HARD disk adapter

    http://0RZ.tw/hCi4T

    One of the things that I like most my ThinkPad is the Ultrabay. The Ultrabay is by default occupied by the optical drive, but the optical drive can be removed and replaced with a hard drive adapter, a battery or a serial port/parallel adapter. The question always seems not to exist but the disc adapter hard ultrabay is fit to several models. When I insert the ultrabay adapter in my R400, I found that there is little space between the ultrabay and the computer. It is annoying because you have to worry about dust. But the biggest problem is, HARD ultrabay drive adapter could not hold the HARD drive safely! As the photo above, I show the adapter and the HARD disk is connected and hold by the junction! So if submit you adapter to a lot of movement, the drive connector can easily get damaged. Is there a solution to help?

    Hi, the drive HARD Ultrabay adapter is designed for the drives own Lenovo coming w metal a little "shopping cart" mounted around the disk hard with four screws. The adapter is slightly too big. Unfortunately Lenovo does not have shopping cart available as a spare part for use with non-Lenovo disks. In this thread a seller in the United States is listed by selling the caddies and my positive experience with him.

    Of course the caddies made US make unnecessarily expensive. It would be great if you could find a supplier selling these carts located in your geography at a more competitive price. Be sure to post your experiences here, if you manage to find one.

  • computer portable HARD drive

    My motherboard the HP G56-130SA died on me and I want to take out the HARD drive and install in my office to copy files on. Can anyone put me in the right direction in order to get an adapter (the United Kingdom) which will connect the cable of the HARD disk on my desktop SATA? Preference in-House then I can reuse as a spare drive!

    Have the same problem with the slimline DVD drive. I got a lead for the SATA but not the power cable.

    The DVD player has a different connector. 'S called it miniSATA.

    computer laptop optical mini-SATA to SATA Adapter regular

    However, a (SATA) hard drive of the laptop connects to the same connectors SATA Office. Same data and power cables. If your portable player seems different, it is just in a basket that had to be removed to expose the naked reader or has a connector on to attach to the motherboard for the laptop. I assure you that there is a regular SATA drive. Just open the side of the desktop and connect a SATA cable data and power on the drive from the laptop and the other end to the mother/power supply card and the reader will register and you can copy files over, it pick up when you're done.

    Many jobs now have a support to mount a 2.5 drive inches (mainly for the SSD) but if yours doesn't, you can get a 2.5 inches for support adapter 3.5 inches like that and permanently mount the drive of the laptop in the office.

  • 15 - n259se: hard drive SSD update

    Hello

    I recently bought this laptop (15-n259se) and have been impressed in all of his performances. I plan to upgrade its HDD to the SSD. I've read a lot about this on the forum here but had a few questions before I have eventually go ahead.

    I checked the manual of the product with the product below and could only found that its uses a SATA port.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04438537

    Thus, the Samsung EVO 850 (500 GB) will work on this system?

    As the hard drive for this laptop is not easily accessible by the user, another thing I read here that you can replace the DVDRom with a caddy and then install SSD while retaining the original hard drive. I tried looking for a shopping cart but did not find any. Can someone let me know if there's any cart that is compatible with this system and also if there is anything that I should be informed during the implementation.

    Thank you

    See page 61 of the manual to see how the hard drive is in the laptop. You can use any interface SATA 2.5 inches in width and 7 or 9.5 mm thiick drive hard or on SSD. The Samsung 850, in my opinion, is the best on the market, then Yes, I would receommend you get.

    I don't have such good news for the caddy optical drive for a few reasons. First of all, the optical drive SATA port uses a slower SATA (SATA I) protocol because it is all that is needed by an optical drive. If you put an SSD in there you will get all the benefits quickly. In addition to this, you would be able to use the SSD for storage since if you put a hard drive or SSD in the optical drive bay that is not bootable. If you do not need the DVD player, you must put the original hard drive in the optical Bay and then put the SSD in the main location on page 61. Yes, it is not an easy thing to do and should probably be done by an experienced laptop technician. However, the manual shows all the steps, and if you are very careful, it can be done by a competent first-timer. You are questioning the warranty that I must warn you.

    It is an example of optics to the hard drive adapter that you can use:
