HDD WD20EARS to HPE 112Y - power to SATA power connectors - only P4 Molex available?

Hi all

I bought a new drive HARD for Western Digital (WD20EARS) and when I went to install in my HPE 112y

I saw that the harness for my existing WD10EADS had the usual black SATA power connector (labeled P9)

plugged in,

still on the same spot next to my main HARD drive did not exist another SATA Black Power Connector for my new HARD drive but a great white molex 4 driver female connector P4

I searched through the bundle of cables, Power Supplies, but I have not found another available black SATA power connector.

So very quickly what I thought would be a simple upgrade of HARD drive stopped me in my tracks.

So, my questions are...

(1) can I buy an adapter's cable to power the existing WD10EADS as well as my new HDD WD20EARS?

(2) is there a short jumper cable that allows you to convert the white Molex P4?

(3) should I just upgrade the existing LiteOn model of block of power SUPPLY PS-5301 - 08HA / power 300 WATT?

If so, what is a good upgrade and did so for my HPE 112y? Necessary power, 400-500-700 watts

I have a gateway FX541S with a power of 700FB1E Delta Electronics which has 3 SATA power connectors

that align perfectly to each of its 3 HARD drive location... Very well!

That's why I was surprised when I saw the problem I had with my RESUME, I was expecting the same thing.

I never thought that I would have a cable problem, after that I got my new HARD drive.

The HP Pavilion Elite 112y has two discs, Blu - Ray and DVD as well as a Radeon HD4350 Video card and now two HDD.

Is 300 watts enough, even though both of my HARD drives WD Green drives are.

Unlike my front door where security HARD drive in place with a lever and blade in the front or side according to the case law can be too LOL!

My HPE 112y has a cage for two HARD disks that screw in place... I don't have the necessary screws.

Where can I get these very short screws to ensure my WD HARD drive?

I tried Lowes with no luck.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I went simple and fast 5 minutes HDD Upgrade which I have just done to my front door, a serious project with my RESUME.

I still love my HP, but not too friendly!

Hi again,

Update.

I went to my local computer store and got an adapter 'Y' which connects Molex 4 male pins on the computers Molex 4-pin female connector, then to a 'Y' for two SATA power connectors.

They were kind enough to give me a bag of screws for the installation of my HARD drive in the cage.

HDD installed in the cage, connected new red SATA cable and power cable SATA and everything has been working well since!

Thanks again,

Bud

    Hello

    Consult this publication of the article.  Open your PC and a few measure ensure that the graphics card will adjust. While the PC is open, measure the distance between the power supply and the optical drive.  Feeding you are considering is 1.6 "longer. It compress the space between the power supply and the optical drive, making it very tight wiring and may bend the cables too.  I suggest that you consider the CX600 Corsair or CS650m they match better is physical size with the existing power supply.

    The NVIDIA GTX 660 is a map of excellent graphics for PCs that have a legacy BIOS.  The new higher level cards will not run in your PC.

    If you are not sure that the NVIDIA GTX 660 has sufficient performance, then try one or more game simulators that are available on the internet.

    These articles HOWTO HPshould be useful.

    The processor and the existing memory should be enough for most modern games.

  • Upgrade the video card on HPE-112Y

    Hey, I've been looking to update my video card in the HPE-112Y, but honestly, I know almost nothing about computer hardware. How will I know what types of cards will work, or adapt? Do I need a better diet? What types of cards are actually good and worth the money? Help please, thank you.

    furrysparks has writtenkay, one last question. These two cards physically enters the computer?

    Hello furrysparks, here are the dimensions on both cards.

    NVIDIA GTS 250 product Dimensions: 9.5 x 2 x 4.4 inches

    Dimensions of the XFX HD-577 X 8.8 "x 4.4" card

    Remember that the cable connects to the back, so it will take just a little more space in the case that these dimensions.

    Just to be safe, I unplug the power cord and remove the Panel and measure the space between the end of the slot of the motherboard at the back of the case and the front of the PCIe x 16 slot. This measure should be at least 10 to 10.5 inches for the Nvidia card and 9, 5-10, 0 inches for the XFX card.

    I noticed that the Nvidia card has each of the HDMI, VGA, DVI connectors while the XFX card has only 2 DVI and a mini-Port connector. This cannot be a factor if you use DVI or have or are looking for an adapter DVI to HDMI if you wish.

    HP MediaSmart/TouchSmart Netflix Version: 1.0.2.0

    I have apalogize, I know that this has been done before, but I'm looking for different software or updates not upgrades.

    A couple of weeks, I tried to watch a movie Blu - ray (made before 2013) through HP MediaSmart DVD, when I put the movie in him would ask if I wanted to check the updates, so I said yes, he started the process of loading and asked again if I wanted to check the updates. Finally, I took the film and went into settings, watched in updates and there was an update. So I chose the update and HP MediaSmart DVD HP TouchSmart DVD changed. After that, the movie played fine.

    Now I'm watching a Blu - ray movie (made in 2013) and still once he asks me if I want to check the updates, so I took the film out, went into settings, that update, but there is nothing there. I put the movie back to try again and he asks me if I want to check the updates, so I push No., he would say "disk ready for play. Press Play to start. "So I press start and it will immediately message asking if I want to check the updates. So then the movie is still in I go into the settings, that update, and there is still nothing.

    All DVD for the 2013 game and rain fines. All comics before 2013 play fine. All BDs for 2013 keep asking check updates.

    Now, I find another reason that could not work the BDs is because my DVD/BD players could be updated.

    Device: hp BD O DH4O3S SCSI CdRom Device & hp DVD a DH16AAL SCSI CdRom Device
    Driver provider: Microsoft
    Driver date: 21/06/2006
    Driver version: 6.1.7601.17514
    Digital signer: Microsoft Windows

    I clicked on the update for both driver and said that I was aware.

    I find no new updates for HP TouchSmart DVD on CyberLink website. Where can I check updates? In addition, what I have to update all of the HP MediaSmart Software Suite to make it work (and where I do that)? Are there updates for DVD/BD drives and if there is where can I find them?

    Someone, please help me to find the updates.

    Sorry it took so long to get back to that.

    I finally got a new monitor (a long while ago):

    HP Pavilion 22bw IPS monitor 21.5 backlit "

    1920 x 1080

    VGA, DVI - D, HDMI

    So I tried again a movie BD 2013 on the HP MediaSmart/TouchSmart DVD thanks to the new screen and he asked again if I want to check for an update, but it worked fine on PowerDVD from CyberLink 13 (which means I have to buy ). So I have not watched all BD movies on my computer for awhile.

    I recently bought a new computer and restored my old computer to its factory condition and reinstalled all programs and installed the updates I could find.

    After I restored the computer I tried BD 2013 & 2015 on HP MediaSmart/TouchSmart DVD movies and he even asked if I want to check for an update. It's been 2 years and still no new updates! Looks like HP MediaSmart has become obsolete. I don't know if PowerDVD 13 still works because I obviously don't buy it.

    Thus, it seems that if someone wants to play movies BD 2013 or newer that they should ensure that they have the right connection between the monitor and the computer and buy a new BD software to replace the old software obsolete.

    With my new computer, I'll be closing this and boxing upward. So I don't need to worry about this more.

    Thank you for your time and your help. And good luck to anyone else who might have the same problem.

    Try to add a second SATA DVD Rom but do not see more SATA power connectors?  I tried to discuss with Tech, desperate!  Don't understand.  The system came with a SATA hard drive and a SATA DVD/BlueRay so both SATA power connectors are used.  I do not see another SATA power connector in the system, but there are at least 2 connectors SATA DATA more on the system board.  You can even add the old style DVD of as the connectors on the system board do not exsist for the old style DVD ROM.  What they do a converter to SATA power adapter or am I missing something?  Strange.

  • Dv6500 laptop - no Standard disc HARD SATA/power connectors

    Hi - I decided to upgrade my 80 GB Western Digital Scorpio 2.5 inches with a Seagate Momentus 2.5 inch 250 GB. The Seagate as I thought, were the standard SATA power connectors. The connectors slide on, the same thing as what I saw on all SATA 3.5 Desktop drives. We WD Scorpio, the pins are divided and snap into the motherboard. So I don't think I can use the Seagate, what 2.5 inch disks have will work with the DV6500? I thought that SATA SATA.

    Duh! Answered my question on. Looked at training, I got out and noticed there is a converter of pins of connectors SATA slide standard split connectors that facilitate their insertion in Notepad. just removed the old WD drive converter and added to the new Seagate.

  • Types of POWER connectors required on HP Pavilion t550.uk

    I need to replace the power supply of my HP Pavilion t550.uk to accommodate a new graphics that require 300 Watts. The PSU existing according to me is a BESTEC ATX-250-12Z REC: C.

    Open the machine up there seem to be 5 existing connections:

    (1) CD and DVD - these two players have a rectangular connector with sections of 4 x 1 and 8 wires

    (2) hard - this is very similar to the above but maybe a bit bigger in size.

    (3) motherboard - a large rectangular connector with sections of 10 x 2. Many sons.

    (4) motherboard - a connector 2 x 2 with 4 wire square.

    The new graphics card also requires a 4 pin connection.

    The existing power supply dimensions are 6 inches x 5 1/2 in. x 3 1/2 inches.

    I was considering an Antec E380 or something similar, but I am concerned about the type of connectors that I need. I think that the existing motherboard connectors are compatible with most modern power supplies, but I'm not sure about the others.

    Other http://www.itwinkle.com/be25posuba.html , which is not the same exact model, I can't find any online form describing the connectors on the Bestec. Here, they are described as 4 x PATA.

    -L'Antec has 6 x Molex (4 x SATA, which look completely different from me). http://www.Antec.com/connectors.php?ProdID=04639

    -The Cosair 430CX has 3 x 4 Pin peripheral connectors (4 x SATA).

    Are these Molex or 4 peripheral connectors that I need or do I have to seek alternatives or adapters might be?

    Would appreciate some advice.

    Thank you

    Yes, it's a 4 pin Molex. The same as that used to power the old hard disks IDE/PATA.

Thank you...

    TAAA, welcome to the forum.

    Great choice of computer.  I have the 810-135qe Phoenix.  This is a very good for gaming.  I did it faster by adding an SSD.

    Here is the page of Product Specifications .  If you look at the section "Berries", it shows that there are 2-5, 25 "and 3 - 3.5 drive bays".  For this reason, I am sure that there are additional power connectors.  I'll check my computer when I have the time to see how many are available and report back.

    Any suggestions on the source of the appropriate connector and where it plugs into the Slimline?

    Hello

    Are you sure that the PSU in the slimline is big enough to handle the USB 3.0 card?

    You could look for a cable Y SATA then a SATA Adapter 4.  Here are a few examples so do some measuring to ensure that the length according to your needs.

  • poorly supplied power connector

    Just got my thunderbolt and macbook pro screen, but a little puzzled that the laptop power connector that comes out of the back of the display unit is for a macbook not a macbook pro (see photo below of the Web page) - confused.

    Am I missing something? I don't remember when put my order together that I had to say anything... Do I need an adapter?

    Well, the MagSafe connector was used by the old MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, but Apple MagSafe 2 released later and recent Macs have more than the connector. However, you can get the MagSafe adapter MagSafe2 to use this port, assuming that you have a MacBook Pro with the Retina display.
