Hard drive upgrade from IDE to SATA for Precision 360

Hi all

I need help.  I have a Dell Precision 360 with two hard 40 GB IDE disks.  I would like to move to a WD Caviar 640 GB hard drive and throw the other two.  The WD hard drive is a SATA connection.  I'm sure I need to purchase a controller card, but I don't know what kind to get.

I've read other messages concerning an upper limit of 137 GB, but I think that referred to as prior to Windows XP Sp2.  I also read that do not mix disks hard IDE and SATA hard drives, DVD IDE burners mix with SATA drives?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated for this kind of upgrade.

Thanks in advance,

  • Windows problem with hard drive changed from IDE to SATA connection.

    After a full rebuild (new MB, CPU, graphics and RAM) and install the new copy of Windows 7 Home, everything is great, until I try to connect an additional internal HDD. The boot and then crashes to the windows logo. Additional HARD drive is SATA, but it has already been used on an IDE connection.

    The bios recognizes the drive, but obviously, there's some kind of conflict in Windows (I think the reader can contain a backup of the previous generation system).

    System;

    MB ASUS M5A97 R2.0

    CPU AMD FX6

    Gskill 8 GB of RAM.

    Any ideas on how to fix the problem please?

    Thanks, Chris

    Usually means a player has failed/problematic

    You say sata drive but used on a connector IDE does that mean you are using a cable converter, because the type of interface is completely different, or do you just mean the parameter for the connection of the bios?

  • Pavilion 15 ab128na: hard drive upgrade from the Pavilion 15-ab128na

    Hello

    I am buying a laptop computer ab128na Pavilion 15 and wanted to know about upgrade capabilities.

    It comes with a disc of M.2 256 GB SSD but it maybe a bit small. Is there room for an additional HARD disk drive (such as the gaming notebook pavilion)? So I, for example, M.2 256 GB SSD drive and a 1 TB HARD drive.

    Or the model allows only for 1 hard drive, so I have to replace the SSD drive, it comes with a larger capacity SSD?

    Thanks in advance

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    This manual explains Star Wars Edition and the 15-ab128na sharing the same internals with this model.

    The problem is if your laptop comes with just the MSSD m2 I don't think they understand the mounting kit for a 2.5-inch hard drive. You must purchase the part on the secondary market in some way.

    Kit hardware hard drive (supports and connector) 809296-001

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/809296-001-HP-15-AB027CL-hard-drive-caddy-Kit-grade-A-/171992018156?hash=item280b85ecec:g:2SgAAOSw7hRWPoW0

    In addition, access to the hard drive Bay is a bit of a chore and put security at risk.

    But to directly answer your question, the laptop is designed to have a m2 and the SATA 2.5 inch disk at the same time.

    You could also install a HDD as pure storage using the slot of the DVD drive with an adapter. Of course, you lose the optical drive but I find myself with mine very rarely these days, anyway. Use of this Bay, the warranty will not be affected.

  • HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

    HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

    I want to put in a 60 GB SSD into the CD slot and want to see how fast it will support as this will be used for the Cache

    Thank you

    The published information is not explicit; He says only: SATA for the expansion Bay while the main hard drive Bay expressly says SATA-III. However, given that this isn't just an optical drive Bay, but also a general 'Bay expansion', it is safe to assume it of on the same SATA bus as main drive and is a SATA III interface.

    Data sheet

    6470b is also supposed to have a slot for a WSSD mSATA, but he is not described in the Manual:

    Manual

    Obviously the WSSD would work better for cache but you can use a 60 gig SSD in an expansion bay for both cache adapter. Even if the connection is SATA-II, it will be much faster to work for a cache of acceleration.

  • Computer HP laptop slim 500 GB HARD drive: used for HP laptop HARD drive upgraded to Win 10 Pro with key now stuck after HP Drive Encryption Login

    I bought a portable hard drive used HP for the upgrade of my Lenovo G550 with ugraded CPU with Intel's CORE DUO T9300 2.50 ghz

    (HP hard drive: computer laptop slim drive HARD 500 GB SERIAL ATA DISK DRIVE S/N W627S9NL P/N 756731-001 MFG Seagate Technologies DOM 8 / 2015)

    I was happy to see that the hatd drive had already installed because Windows 7 I had bought already separate legitimate Windows 10 Pro license key for the upgrade. I was able to go online and download the upgrade of Windows 10 and used my purchased license key to activate my updated.

    While doing the installation, there are some HP software that was still on the hard drive. I thought it would be good to have some additional security protocols, so I also installed the WinMagic Securedoc Bootloader v1.2.12 and saved the drive encryption HP with the security issues and password for secondary access.

    10 Windows has been activated and everything was beautiful. But when I restarted the laptop, I put my password for windows and then it goes to this screen of disc HP encryption rises. I put the password and it is accepted - and then the screen turns white... not offshore... jblank TEU with a cursor flashing that doesbn can't react to inputs.

    I tried leaving it for a day or so and still nothing.  There is nothing I can change in the configuration of the BIOS that works so far.

    I also tried Reimage download on USB and re-creation of the sequence of boot, but not good. Even tried a boot drive, but nothing there either. I'll try again.

    I don't know where to go or how to get beyond the screen of HP encryption.  I am pretty good at following directions, I don't know coding, but may do what you suggest to help me fix this problem.

    Can you help me?

    Sorry... I missed the part that you have a license Win10.  I thought you were trying to activate 10 using the OEM HP license and causing problems.

    I do not use HP encryption applications - as having recently completed a career in the InfoSec, I personally focus together on the encryption of the PC to be laughable-, but my guess is that you are basically out of luck.

    If it was my drive, I WIPE the drive of all its content and then again install Win10.  A good product to do i.e. DBan: http://tiptopsecurity.com/how-to-securely-wipe-your-hard-drive-with-dban-erase-your-data-for-good/

    Once your disc is clean, then simply install Win10 on it.

    That said, with a bit of luck, one of the HP EXPERTS will probably come along and tell you how to get around their encryption.

    Good luck

  • HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

  • Satellite A50-111 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hello!

    I need to upgrade hard drive of my laptop because it is very slow. However, I know it's a 60 GB to factory-installed 4200 RPM.
    I'm ready to be upgraded to a fast 7200 RPM, if possible, with a decent capacity, but I'm not sure of the supported hard drive type (IDE?, 2.5?) is a model of 5 years. In my view, there are incompatibilities with the laptops today, hard drive formats, so I really need help.
    Thank you very much for your help!

    These are the specs on the site
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 97598

    Hey Buddy,

    In my opinion the HARD drive upgrade will not increase performance well then you should try the other options first as reinstalling Windows, or upgrade the RAM.

    Anyway, Satellite A50 use IDE interface, so you can use hard disks of 120 GB of disk space.
    Of course, you can take a model at 7200 RPM, but they need more energy and produce more noise.
    I recommend a 120 GB 5400 RPM model. That s pretty fast!

    The reason why I am interested in this player is that are affordable and available from a number of competitive sale points; for example, ebay and amazon, etc.

    In addition, they have good reviews for multimedia applications.

    Hey kbruff2016 welcome to the community!

    WD Black is a powerful HARD drive designed for larger and heavier loads as well as multitasking more heavy. It should serve you well for a long time because it comes with a good warranty of 5 years.

    You have all the drives in your computer? It may be appropriate to consider as SSD for the OS that you would see great improvements in time to start loading and the overall responsiveness of the system.

    If you plan use the HARD drive in any RAID arrays in the future I would recommend going with a NAS/RAID-class drive because they have additional features such as the TLER that ensure a stable and safe performance in such conditions. Red of WD is an example.

  • Satellite A100 - memory and hard drive upgrade

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite A100-158 of the model code PSAA9E-01700VPT. It came with a 80 GB HDD at 5400 RPM S.M.A.R.T. and 1 GB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz).

    I think that my computer slows to a crawl because maybe I thought the hard drive being old and low memory for recent programs and therefore upgrade the hard drive and memory.

    A Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 inch would fit? According to them, it's running at 7200 RPM with the energy consumption of a drive 5400 RPM (marketing simply bad maybe).

    And a memory card Kingston 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz working? It has a higher frequency than my current ram, but then I guess he can withdraw maximum permitted by the motherboard? I guess that's 533 Mhz as my module memory factory. I can also buy a module 2 GB of the same manufacturer exact DDR 2 as well but 667 MHz instead... still higher than my current memory module.

    Thanks much for the tips... I hope that this will bring my A100 more in standards without going to a new laptop :)

    Hello

    Generally, a HARD drive with more RPM isn't a problem, but he needs a little more power and product more heat, but it should work.
    It s based on your application that you are running. For normal use, 5400 RPM should be ok.

    The modules of RAM with higher specifications are also no problem because it s downgrade compatible for lower speed (533 MHz).
    Kingston is always recommendable, I've never had a problem with these modules. :)

  • Satellite A40-151 Possible HARD drive upgrade

    Hello

    are there restrictions on the type of hard drive that you can on this model?

    RPM
    buffer
    Number of PINS
    Type of the ATA

    I was watching a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST980815A, if this helps answer the question.

    Concerning

    Lee

    Hello

    I found the info your device comes with 40 GB IDE (ATA - 5) HARD drive. I think in your case, to capacity. High-capacity hard drives are not recognized properly, but I think that with 60 or 80 GB HDD should perhaps be recognized correctly.

    If anyone on this forum can give you accurate information, I recommend you contact your local dealer or service in your country. They are experts upgrade material and they have accurate info on HARD drive upgrade.

    Good luck!

  • Installing a hard drive SATA 2 with the first hard drive is an IDE hard drive

    I have an M50 - 8187 think Centre and I see on the motherboard and in the manual that there is a 1 SATA and SATA 2 connection. I tried to plug in a SATA 2 hard drive but when I connect it using a SATA data cable, there is nothing recognizable in the BIOS.

    I took a 30 GB IDE HDD and hung like a slave and the BIOS recognized immediately.

    My question is, if a SATA hard drive can be used on the M50 series think Center and if so, what do I do I do get recognized in the BIOS SATA 2 controller. I've updated the BIOS with the latest version, but it did not help. I don't see where in the BIOS to enable the SATA.

    Help about my problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
