HP ENVY 750-115no: add extra SATA port

Similar Questions

• Add additional SATA ports

  I have three hard drives in my XPS 9100 (start + two storage drives). I've been threatening to install an SSD , which would replace current among the hard disks. I have also two optical drives. Who uses all five SATA ports.

  Ideally I would like to leave the HARD drive that is currently installed and reformat the drive for additional storage, but the issue of SATA ports and supply connections arise.

  I could do this by installing a PCI-Express card like this:

  StarTech.com 2 Port PCI Express controller card PEXSATA22I internal SATA II

  and using a divider of power like so?

  StarTech.com 6 SATA Power Y Splitter cable adapter - M/F in PYO2SATA

  Note: I would connect the SSD to a SATA port on the motherboard (not map).

• HP Envy 750-197c Desktop: you can add a SSD internal flash disk to the envy of HP 750-197c Desktop

  You can add an internal SSD to the envy of HP 750 - 197c Desktop that has a 2 TB drive installed?

  DMSIceman, welcome to the forum.

  Yes, you can move the HARD disk and install an SSD.  You will need to buy at least a 128 GB SSD.  Here is the data sheet for the computer.

  The best way to install an SSD is to leave the current HARD drive as it came from the factory.  Connect the SSD drive to another SATA port on the motherboard.  Install the software of Migration data provided by the SSD manufacturer on the HARD drive.  Once installed, open it and follow the instructions carefully.  You choose the SSD as a target.  After the data is transferred from the HDD to the SSD, you can disconnect the HARD drive and start the computer.  It should start on the SSD.  Then, you can disconnect the SSD to the first SATA connector and move to another Bay HARD drive and connect it to another SATA port on the motherboard.  You can use it for storage.

  I like the SSD Samsung EVO.  Samsung offers its data Migration software to clone HARD drive.  In addition, they provide their software Wizard to optimize the performance of the SSD.  You can find all the software at the bottom of the page in the link I provided for the EVO.  The Samsung SSD were good about starting in HP computers without changing the BIOS settings.  You will need to buy an adapter to allow the reader to 2.5 "to fit into a 3.5 Bay".

• 750 - 177C envy: addition of Samsung SSD for envy 750-177C

  I just bought a HP Envy 750-177c. I have it operational and it works very well. I had installed a Samsung 850 EVO SSD in my old computer and now want to add to it. I have an external cloning device that I can plug it into the computer and launch the software from Samsung to clone the HD HP. Once this is done, I will be able to add the SSD to the drive Bay and make the boot drive. I did all these steps with my old computer, so I think that it will be substantially the same with the RESUME. I wonder if there is any change in the BIOS, that I should do to get the best performance from the drive. I also heard AHCI. Is selectable via the BIOS with Windows 10, or do I have to make some changes by Reg Edit? I need to download a driver AHCI? Is this useful?

  Thanks for the tips.

  Hi @RobbL!

  When it comes to SSD, I suggest you to activate the AHCI because it often improves performance when it comes to SSDS (and not only - if you are running an SSD and a HARD disk HARD drive will get some push), and it offers a few additional features like connection hot records.

  You can activate it by following these steps:

  * Let the connected existing boot drive.
  * Go to MSCONFIG and set the PC to boot in safe mode.
  * Power cycle your PC all the way to the top in safe mode then power down in safe mode.
  * Turn on and boot into the BIOS and enable the AHCI and disable secure boot. Save the changes.
  * Restart your PC. If OK at this stage then return to MSCONFIG and uncheck start safe mode and save the changes.
  * Turn on your PC and if OK then power off.
  * Connect the new SSD and power upward.
  * Use the cloning software to clone the old disk on the new SSD.
  * Switch off the PC. Disconnect the old drive and plug the new SSD in this SATA port.
  * Lights up and you should be good to go.

  Regarding the drivers, you can take a look at this article from HP on the SSD:

• HP Pavilion a6667c: HP Pavilion a6667c, install the HARD drive to the SATA port

  My question is: is it OK to install a hard drive extra (in this case, my old laptop drive) in one of spare SATA ports on the motherboard? My first two is taken over by my first hard disk and the optical stock.

  You can add the disk as a data disk. This tray will work. Data cable  

  The power supply should have additional Sata power lead.

• HP Envy 750-124: cannot get into the Bios of the normal on the envy of 750-124

  I speak not normal Bios and UEFI. I've recently updated to Win 10 anniversary

  Given my http://support.hp.com/my-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-envy-750-100-desktop-pc-series/8499646/model/8819... Bios Update

  who was A0.16 Rev.A.

  Installed and it reset my settings. I need to come back here to turn back on my virtual technology. Otherwise, I can create only 32-bit VM VirtualBox

  https://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-operating-systems-and-recovery/how-to-access-BIOS-to-enable-th...

  Cannot return to normal Bios. I tried Tap the ESC which worked before, screen freezes and I hit enter and the HP logo comes up, tried to hit and also hit F10. As much as I turn power. I have a wireless Logitech K800 keyboard that worked before. I tried a usb keyboard standard ensuring they were on a USB 2.0 port. F2 to display a cold start UEFI bios.

  Them win 10 things don't me settings there, recovery, advanced. Tried all

  I was hoping that HP had fixed the enter the Bios thing with updated Bios if installed. This thing was a pain like that otherwise I'd be a camper happy with this PC, how is it you can not solve this HP?

  Because of disconnect hard drive it hangs just below ground

  The solution is

  I had installed a better Nvidia GTX-950 video card. By hitting the ESC, it hangs and nothing happens. Black screen, although you can see slightly change the colors

  Fortunately both the edge video card and the new Nvidia both using a HDMI cable. So I just plug my integrated video card. Started while typing ESC and the Legacy Bios screen selection came where I choose F10 to enter the Bios of the legacy

  When you perform an update of the HP Bios seems to put everything back by default, in other words on board, by selecting the video edge. Although you can see by selecting HDMI port at startup if you think it's ok.

  I have worked with Dell PC for 15 years to work, it does not matter what card I put in them. At the start, I hit F2 and Bios loads so that bit me. Now I know

  Hope this helps someone else.

• HP Envy 750-120: bi-ecrans on want 750-120... HOW... Help, please...

  Just bought the HP ENVY 750-120 office... also bought 2 new monitors (HP Pavilion 27xw 27 - in LED Backlit Monitor IPS)... cannot get the computer to recognize 1 monitors...

  Curiously, the Office has 1 hdmi and 1 connection on the video card dvi... but both monitors only came with vga connectors (Thanks much HP)... I bought 2 new hdmi cables for monitors but that you can only use 1 of them in the region of the video card... There are 2 connectors extra hdmi on the back of the computer but still using those in all combinations with reboot and detection under settings display does not cause the computer to detect the 2nd monitor...

  I think my only other option is to hang the 2nd monitor to the dvi on the video card slot, but I'll have to find a converter because the monitor is only hdmi and vga... does what his right?

  I'm not computer expert, please excuse my questions of common sense... why the video card is not 2 hdmi connectors and why HP is hdmi and vga monitors but then make their computers with only 1 connection hdmi and dvi... also, why doesn't the computer recognize the 2nd monitor so I use one of the HDMI slots at the bottom of the computer... What are these slots hdmi because then...?  really annoying that HP does not sytems super easy to hook up to the secular...

  Thank you for your suggestions...

  -bear

  I solved the problem of dual monitor.  The computer came with only 1 hdmi connector and 1 connector on the video card.  Monitors have vga connectors and hdmi... a monitor worked with hdmi to hdmi slot, and I ran to the local big-box store and bought a hdmi to DVI and hooked up to the video card... immediately my 2nd monitor came.

  Problem solved,

• HP ENVY 137C 750: GTX 1070 for HP ENVY 750-137C graphics card upgrade

  I picked up a refurbished HP ENVY 750-137c and am currently looking to improve the graphics. I don't want to break the Bank, but I don't want it to last me a while, I'm looking at the Nvidia GEFORCE GTX 1070.

  Apart from the evolution of the needs of power, does anyone know if this card is compatible, and if there are problems with this upgrade? In addition, Nvidia recommends a diet of 500W for this card. Would be - it sufficient, or is - this genrous number? In addition, if someone has a product of power supply they would recommend for this theoretical combination, I'd greatly appreciate advice.

  Thank you!

  @Drifterx311, welcome to the forum.

  Here are the full specifications of the card on the nVidia website.  The card is double slot and 10.5 "long.  I suggest measurement of the back plate of e/s to the front of the box to see how much space is available.  I think it fits, but it will be tight.

  As you said, the specs recommend a PSU 500W (PSU).  Personally, I'd buy one at least 600 w.  This will give you extra power for peak needs.  I love Corsair products.  Here are a few PSU for you to review Newegg.  If you choose a modular power supply it will allow you to install only the cables that are absolutely necessary.  This allows for better air circulation.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about them.  A good diet will make your system run much better.

• Pavilion 550-154na: add additional USB3 ports at the 550-154na Pavilion

  I need extra USB ports for external hard drives like all rear ports are now filled.

  While that would be a hub powered plug-in I'd rather install a USB3 card using spare internal / available PCI Express x 1 & a SATA power Y splitter cable if I can. Are there any speed, power & the and/or other implications please?

  USB3 ports are likely to run at full speed?

  And internal 180W power enough for these additional requirements?

  Thank you very much.

  It worked very well. A USB 3.0 port Inateck 4 split easily in the spare PCI x 1 slot, powered by a splitter cable to 'Y '. Took about 3 minutes, which worked immediately, & big parade.

• HP ENVY 750se desktop PC: HP ENVY 750se Desktop PC HDMI in Ports

  I recently bought a desktop PC HP ENVY 750se who has what I believe to be 2 HDMI in ports which do not seem to work and are not displayed in the "devices" list in the Device Manager. There is also a HDMI port output that works very well.

  I was trying to connect a digital SLR camera to the HDMI in ports to capture live streams.

  Also, I just checked the details of the product from the order and these HDMI in ports is there are not listed. Yet they are on the PC in an expansion slot.

  Help with this is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hi there @ELCF,

  I hope you find your experience of positive Support Forum!  I understand that you are looking for help with he HDMI ports on your system.  I'm happy to help you with this.

  I suspect that the 2 HDMI ports which you are entered are actually two output ports associated with the onboard graphics, which could be disabled if another dedicated graphics card is installed.  Please see the following documents, in particular one for the motherboard: HP ENVY 750 - 170se computer CTO product specifications and configurable options, HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - specifications of the motherboard, Thimphu.

  In the second document, if you look at the section entitled "I/o Ports and riders", you will find the following comment ' 4.HDMI: 2 - not activated when there is a graphics card installed.

  Please let me know if explains what you see, and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

• can I add a sata dvd drive to foxconn mcp73m01h1

  Compaq sr5450f products kj383aa #aba, {Personal Information deleted} - map mother foxconn mcp73m01h1 receiver has the sata connections 4 four. I guess I can use one for an additional hard drive - but I also use one for a dvd rw sata drive?  The original dvd drive pci sata wasn't. I think that I need the data lines. Am I wrong?

  You are the very welcome.

  Normally, you add the second hard drive to the adjacent sata port where the primary had disk is connected and the DVD player goes into the port sata above the main hard drive.

• XPS 8300 SATA Port multiply

  This motherboard supports a SATA Port multiplier? I would like to add an external box with more than 1 SATA drive.  If this is not the case, what is recommended?

  Thank you

  Its sata not sas No.  Motherboard: DX58SO2 Chipset X 58 Express/Intel ICH10

  System requirements:

  Your motherboard must PM port multiplier support.  The 8300 is not working.

  The ICH10R does not support port multipliers, you need a card with a Silicon Imaging SIL3124 or controller 3132 or some JMicron controllers.

• OptiPlex 760 MT - new SSD. What SATA port

  I noticed that my Optiplex 760 MT has what appears to be 4 SATA ports.  2 are currently in use (she turns drive and DVD - RW) and I'll add an Evo of 840 Samsung soon.  I want to just make sure that it does not matter what SATA port that I use for the SSD.  I guess they are all SATA II?

  Hi Cutlassvilliger1,

  I should no big deal but I always put my system on SATA port disk 0. I also disconnect non-system hard drives during the installation of Windows to avoid any involuntary to other readers.
