HP 250 G4: HARD Drive Caddy

Hi guys.

Is it safe to install a hard drive of my laptop case?

I upgraded my hhd with a Sandisk SSD 240 GB, but I need more space to store my work.

I want to install the caddy on DVD - RW SATA Slot.

Thank you!

I guess it may be. You should check with your manual of products first and speak to a representative of HP.

However, Newmodeus makes SSD/HDD caddies for the model of your product. I don't see why they would at less than its safe to do so.

I hope this helps.

  • Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9 - use of the HARD Drive Caddy

    Hello

    When I got my new laptop the first think I did was to install an SSD.

    I don't usually use my optical Bay so I am planning to install a HARD drive enclosure.
    Someone has already done this, and if so have you had any problems? Also, what are data transfer speeds?

    Thank you

    Fraser

    I can't tell you if this extra HARD drive caddy will work in the Satellite Pro C50 series STRANGE Bay - A - 1 K 9 because that depends on the support of the BIOS and the controller.

    I read about these updates several times in different forums and to be stone, sometimes it is possible, but in many cases, the BIOS does not recognize this drive caddy HARD and laptop does not start.

    In the case where you have already tried these updates, please share the details with us!
    I think it would be very interesting for others, if this update worked correctly.

  • Re: Satellite A100-220 - 250 GB hard drive update

    Bought the new 250 GB hard drive, but with it cant start System. The version of the BIOS is 1.80 I have to update so that it will support 250 GB? I think that's the problem because when I remove the hard drive from the system can start. Can you post the link to the download for a newer version of the BIOS if there is a previous hard drive was 40 GB?

    Thank you

    Hi andmk,

    I doubt that your computer will start if you remove the HARD drive. If no HARD disk is installed the computer is not able to boot and start Windows because the disk HARD, the operating system is installed.

    In any case, what exactly happens if you install the new HARD drive?
    Is it recognised in BIOS?
    Can you do a recovery on the new HARD drive installation?

  • Tecra W50 - cannot start when installing the second hard drive (caddy).

    Hi all
    I have a Tecra W50 PT640A 04103NN1.
    When a second hard drive is installed in the Bay of DVD player cell phone will try to boot from the drive bay, not the internal drive
    This second drive has no operating system installed and so the fails to start.

    If I hit F12 at startup and select HARD drive, while the machine starts correctly. That is starts on the main hard drive.
    Change the order of boot in the BIOS makes all the difference; He will always try to boot from the second drive bay drive first.

    All known A it works correctly?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Doppelfrog,
    I had the same problem with my W50, got my HDD caddy a few days ago.
    You have a bit of luck to fix this problem?
    I believe that the Bios for this laptop is not developed to serve both drives (like the computer I had that one drive Bay) and it is not possible to prioritize the witch THAT HDD should start first...

    Kind regards

  • HARD drive caddy for old Satellite Pro A10 need

    Hello

    I recently bought an old Pro of Satellite A10 but it doesn't have a hard drive or a caddy, anyone know if one of the other Toshiba Notebook Caddy is compatible with this model? I've been watching autour fleabay, but not a lot of Pro A10 caddy out there.

    Any help is very appreciated

    Kind regards
    Carl

    Until you find HDD caddy put the HARD drive in place and fix it a bit with aluminum foil, just to be sure it will not move during the use of laptop. Don t cover all HARD drive with just one make smallholders and attach the HARD drive in place.

    I did it on my old L300.

  • Satellite M30 sees only 120 GB installed WD 250 GB HARD drive?

    Recently my native HDD (on M30) crashed and I upgaded with Western Digital WD2500BEVE 250 GB. Disc.
    But when I boot the sytem, it appears that only 120 GB is available!

    Is it possible to use the laptop the full capacity of the HARD drive? Whow?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The fact is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported due to the limitation of HARD BIOS disk size.
    Easy said: BIOS don't support all hard drives.

    I've read many threads here in the forum about HARD drive sizes possible max and it seems that a 120 GB of HARD drive is wide that could be used in the Satellite M30.

    You ask now for an update of the BIOS. Am I wrong?

    Well, unfortunately, the update of the BIOS will not improve the situation and will not use the s larger HARD drive as 120 GB :(

    Best regards

  • Satellite L500-1XC - need HARD Drive Caddy

    Hello

    Does anyone know where in the United Kingdom (Web or email address) I get a caddy of hard drive and screws for a Satellite L500-1XC. Part No.AM073000200?

    Thks
    Peter.

    Hello

    What caddy do you need exactly?
    A USB 2.5 HDD caddy external in order to connect the laptop s HARD drive to a USB port?

    As far as I know that the laptop supports SATA 2.5 HDD so you will need a SATA USB caddy.

  • Satellite 2410 won't see the new 250 GB hard drive

    I am trying to upgrade the Toshiba 30 GB hard drive that came with the unit to a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 250 GB EIDE drive.
    I get out the swap the 30 GB to 250 GB put in a bootable XP SP3 CD version and nothing - no sign that power came to training.
    The CDROM is trying to write files on the hard disk, but nothing happens.

    Same thing happens when I try to use the pack of 3 CD of Toshiba or the Norton Ghost recovery CD.
    The computer does not see the drive. Put the old 30 GB drive and it starts right now.

    My BIOS settings show set up for EIDE and boot from the CDROM. What I'm missing?

    Hello

    It seems that the BIOS does not recognize the new HARD drive, I suppose that it s too big
    Satellite 2410 series is old and I guess that it will not support larger 120 GB HARD drive because of the 28-bit LBA s

    So try with the smallest HARD drive like 80 or 100 GB.

  • HARD drive caddy gets stuck into the Ultrabay slot. T510.

    I bought myself a caddy of SATA hard drive on ebay (Yes, a knockoff of one) and put it in the ultrabay with an SSD inside housing (the plan was to clone my current drive for the SSD and then put the SSD into the slot of the readers later). The caddy went fine, but now it just won't come out. I push the release switch and try to push the second switch upward, but it is completely stuck in there...

    My first plan was to remove the keyboard and just take a look to see if there's anything obviously wrong. This plan was stopped when one of the screws holding the keyboard in place was too tight, and they are really small screws. I didn't try not more scared to round the screw head.

    If at this point, I'm probably going to have to send walking back to Lenovo and ask them to disassemble the laptop to get that thing. Until I do that, someone has ideas or ideas on what could be done?
