HP dv4 1506tx: HDD Caddy to repalce my optical drive in hp dv4 1506tx

I'm looking for a caddy drive HARD replace my optical drive. But in the optical drive connector doest have a SATA connecot. Instead, he has something like this in the image. Is it possible to replace it with a HARD drive caddy so I can have a second hard drive. Help, please.

You cannot use the same caddy for a hard drive. The SATA connector to an optical drive is smaller than the SATA connector to a hard drive. As I said this piece of black connector on the back of your caddy has a plug on the back side that goes into the mini-SATA in the back of an optical drive. The other side has these weird things of connector. It comes off if you remove the screws holding it.

HARD drive adapter optical has a mini-SATA as a scanner to the outside, then a Bay inside that has a size hard disk adapter. Like this.

Just take that black thing on the back of your optical drive caddy and place it on the back of this linked above adapter or a similar one.

  • Satellite R630 - second HDD recognized as optical drive in the BIOS

    I own a Toshiba R630 and recently replaced the original disc with a Crucial SSDS with improved performance. I use the old Hitachi drive in an external enclosure via eSATA trouble-free port, but this configuration requires both port eSata/USB combo and a second USB just for power, so I bought a cart of 9.5 mm to put the disc on DVD rentals.

    Today I went ahead. Physically, everything goes well (apart from the fact that I had to remove the back cover, more than 25 screws; I took the opportunity to clean the fan) but when I turned on the computer and BIOS the Hitachi drive is recognized as an optical drive!

    You can see an image here:

    After that I could get into Windows 7 (64), disk management recognizes it as a disk, but is unable to initialize. After restarting the computer, I can't get Windows anymore, because it directly goes to the recovery mode.

    Any help would be appreciated! Is it possible to do the BIOS to recognize the second disk as a hard drive?

    + The message was edited: faulty link has been removed.

    First I would recommend you to check the boot device order.
    No doubt the STRANGE was set first boot device and portable tries to boot from the HARD drive that is connected to the controller of the STRANGE.
    If this does not work, delete the old HDD Hitachi, reset the default BIOS and try to start once more.

    To be honest I'm not quite sure if the BIOS would support such configuration Mr. I mean not all laptops can be upgraded with a 2nd HDD and in many cases, the BIOS would bear not the HDD installed in the ODD Bay so this configuration can cause problems.

  • Macbook Pro Optibay 2012 + 750 GB Vibration HDD Caddy

    Hello

    I recently replaced the Superdrive on my mac with a drive caddy hard metal and put it in a Western Digital Black 750 GB 7200 RPM hard drive. I use a 480 GB SSD in the original HARD drive location. Has anyone had problems with the vibrations? My MacBook vibrates a bit and it is very annoying. I was wondering if this is normal? I used a cheap metal on eBay cart. What is the caddy? Mid-2012 13' 2.5 ghz 8 GB ram

    Not normal. Check your installation and/or contact the developer/vendor for support. I used data from OWC reinforcements with satisfaction and without vibrations.

  • USFF OptiPlex 755 for HDD Caddy/RAILS part number?

    I inherited 8 eight Optiplex 755 USFF machines (ULTRA SMALL FORM FACTOR). They lack all their hard drives, and I just realized under the cover that it is just a metal container lack the blue part plastic caddy/rails. I'll have a terrible time trying to find the part number appropriate because everyone online tags their photos with about 10 different 7xx Optiplex models, ranging from unspecified SFF and rarely find USFF.

    I know a picture is worth a 1000 words, but if I had one I would probably be able to find the part number. On the 755 Mini Tower there blue bins or carts that drives staple in and then you slide on the machine. The USFF is a set of blue rails that screw in the HARD drive or is it a similar caddy? I have a lot of them (from 755MT and Precision workstations) laying around, but these blue trays do not adapt the 755 USFF.

    To clarify a bit more. There is a metal drawer/box HARD drive to staple in. This metal tray screws down on the chassis. It is a small square fan that screws into the metal tray so the part I'm looking for is the part in blue plastic to HARD drive only WITHOUT fan, just the part that securely attaches the disk of the machine.

    Thanks for any help. When I entered some of the ST in the Dell website they specify HARD drive that machines shipped with but do not specify the part number for the tray/caddy drive HARD blue.

    Thank you.

    Here are therefore 7000 words on this subject. For USFF disc trays are not blue and they are not plastic. Point 4 is called the HARD disk in the tray of PG027. The drive tray has PLASTIC fixing Rails (2 required), USFF: U2836 that keep you in the PG027plateau.

  • Envy 17 t-j000 caddy tray support SSD hard drive

    So, I have an ENVY 17 t-j000 Quad Edition on order. Only ordered with 1 HDD that I intend who move to the secondary place and put an SSD to the main square.

    According to the manual online, it seems that readers of screw in a shopping cart / tray / support any and in need of an adapter for the connector.

    Because I bought it with only 1 car. Does this mean he won't the tray with the adapter to install a 2nd drive?

    And if so, where can I get this caddy and connector adapter? I really hope that it comes with it as I made it very clear on the phone I buy with 1 only drive and add a 2nd drive on my own.

    http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?type=prod&SearchText=E0K82UA

    I spend 1 hour on the phone and bounced between 3 people, each had to wait on hold for as a new call. No one could help me. They finally told me to call the HP parts store, which of course is now closed. And is only open MF 7 a - 7 p CST. 1-800-227-8164

    The link above is for the model J000 Quad Edition.

    I think that I need the Kit material of HARD drive and possibly the screws indicated in the same section. Although I do not know why the screws would not be included in the "Kit".

    720237-001 HDD HARDWARE KIT $30,40
    720260-001 SCREW $14.16

    Wow, if I really need the screws too, it's a crazy price for screws. $30 is also a crazy price for a cable and rubber.

    What makes me more upset that I'm going to make a huge deal is that I explicitly said their phone order when the laptop custom configured, that I was going to add a SSD drive myself.

    They should have told me that the system is in need of these parts. For so much money, I would spend the $60 (less the discount coupon) to upgrade to dual hard drives. Which would give me these pieces with two pre-installed drives. And then I would have just replaced one with a SSD and sold new HARD drive on ebay or on site. Easily covering the cost of the upgrade of the disk. And I wouldn't have to wait to get parts or went through all that effort to source a part that must be included with the laptop. What is the point of the laptop having 2-Bay disk for the upgrade if it does not come with the owners parts be used?

    Yet once, very upset that this issue has not been addressed when I talked to 2 different people when ordering my custom laptop. I spent a lot of effort in pre-sales questions to ensure he had 2 bays for hard drives to add an SSD.

    And why in the world these pieces about 10 times more than they should? This is a new laptop. It's not as if these parts are for cell old abandoned.

    The HARD drive I have now is this.

    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.

    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.

  • Satellite PRO A10 new HDD partition with 80 GB HARD drive

    I've recently updated the original 30 GB HARD drive for a 80 GB HARD drive. I used the recovery CD and all is well.

    The old laptop is now as good as new again.

    I notice that rather than having a c: drive of 80 GB, recovery utility has given me 3 partitions in about 25 GB each (c: d:, and e :).) They were originally FAT32 although I changed it to NTFS.

    My question is can I remove e: and d: partitions and then increase the size of the c: up to the maximum size possible (approx. 75 GB)? I know that windows xp can handle, but I don't know if the BIOS can or even why 3 partitions have been created in the first place.

    Post edited by: dim33

    To be honest I m really surprised that there are 3 partitions after the recovery procedure. I got many old books as your A10 and newer seen this.
    In any case go to disk management and try to create partitions on the way you want it to be.

    In my opinion you should have the C partition with 25 or 30 GB and the second 50 GB partition for the data record. Don t use a partition only. If something does not go the whole partition must be deleted and you will lose all of your stored data. It is always better to have the second partition for data backup.

    In the worst case (you cannot start OS), you can install Windows XP Home edition on the first partition, boot OS and have full access to all stored data.

    Hello

    First of all I don't know why would you refrain from ODD... I always use ODD and it fail...

    Well, some laptops as Tecra has supported this feature.
    For that you need a special envelope where the HARD drive is placed.
    This Chamber was placed in the Bay of ODD.

    But I m not very well if L650 model that would support personally I doubt it would work because of the controller on the motherboard.

    However, if you want to be safe, I would recommend an ASP in your country you asking if a compatible box be available satellite L650.
