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.

  • Portege S100 Ultra Slim Bay HARD drive adapter take 2.5 HDD?

    As the title says really, think to add a second hard drive to my portege s100, but not sure if the Ultra Slim Bay adapter HARD disk can take normal 2.5 "HDD, or just the special Ultra Slim Bay HARD drive.
    Thank you

    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

  • 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.

    Please send Bravo

  • Where can I find an another hard drive adapter?

    Original title: adapter hard disk?

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Can I fix Windows XP Home edition instead of reformatting hard drive?

    Hi there, my girlfriends A100 laptop has developed a fault where it gets loading up xp (xp with the blue loading bar loading screen) then back to the option screen giving options such as the safe mode with network, invites order and last known configuration. None of these work. I have not changed any hardware or installed software recently. I have a disc of toshoba product recovery, what I would like to know is it give me the option to repair of xp and I like to keep my personal files or it will completely erase my hard drive for a new installation?

    I used this disc today but got so far but did not select the option of recovery in the case where this removes the hard drive. This could not have come at a worse time, I spent yesterday reformat my external hard drive, so the only place where are our precious files on the laptop! If I can't repair xp I might have to buy a hard drive adapter 2.5 inch computer notebook to a desktop pc to access my files. Any help would be very very useful!

    PS: apologies if there any obvious mistakes, Im using my wii to write this and his age!

    Recovery time WILL erase the HARD drive. You should back up your files first.

    You have a few options:

    1) boot from a generic XP Installation CD and choose repair Windows. This may not work, the problem may be caused by anything whatsoever.

    2) boot from a Live CD Linux such as Knoppix (or BartPE XP-based) and copy your important files to the c: (Windows partition) on a USB key.

    (3) remove the laptop HARD drive and attach it to another PC using a USB 2.5 "HDD SATA Adapter (they are cheap), then copy the important files and then run the recovery.

    (4) attach the computer portable HARD drive directly on a desktop PC motherboard. The desktop PC must be equipped with SATA connectors. connectors SATA 2.5 "and 3.5" are the same.
