HP workstation xw6200 model number: DU937AV 2nd Hard Drive installation

Hello everyone

 

I am owner of a workstation XW6200 renovated with a HUA721010KLA330 of Hitachi (1.0 TB) 3 1/2 "7200 RPM SATA 3.0 GB / s. I still own one of these I would like to install in my machine.

I did years ago (my state of the art machine had a 1 GB HD at the time!), but things have changed since that time.

I'd appreciate your advice on how I should go about it.

Thank you very much for your help.

All the best,

Boyar

Boyar,

The manual States that you can have 2 Sata Serial ATA drives. See the Manual.

Refer to article 69 pg 19 and 20 for the Sata data headers. See pg 100 for the hard drive Bay.

The PSU has 2 Sata power cables, so all you need is a Sata data cable. Just imitate existing lead.

    Good afternoon

     

    I'm back with a double question this time.

     

    (a) my XW6200 in its current configuration offers only two frontal USB 2 ports, the other 6 being located on the rear panel. Would it not possible to add a front panel USB Hub?

     

    (b) what about 3 USB ports? What do you think about adding to my machine?

    Hello

    That s just to change the BIOS settings in the BIOS!
    I think that the BIOS settings are placed in the last page of the BIOS (3).

    Try setting the 1RAID-0 on the first HARD disk and the 2RAID-0 the second HARD disk.

    It worked well on my laptop.

    By the way; information on the RAID configuration found in the user manual.

    Have a nice day ;)

  • Portege M750 - 2nd HARD drive in the Bay select instead of optical drive carrier

    I just bought I used Portege M750 because my M700 was broken. Unfortunately, the berries to choose between the two models are not compatible. Although the availability of a 2nd drive hard trolley is mentioned in the user manual, I couldn't find the part of the disk for the M750 caddy. I tried a standard SATA-SATA HARD drive caddy, but I get a message "select Bay error" at the start, although the caddy runs under windows, as long as you do not hibernate.

    Does anyone know the part no of the real 2nd hard drive for Portege M750 caddy / M780? Or is there another 2nd carriage of hard drive that works with the M750 without restriction?

    Hello

    I guess that you will need a hard drive caddy part number: P000452980
    Then you could place this in the Toshiba Ultra Slim PA3408U-2CTE and PA3408U-1ETC HARD disk adapter

    But you can also contact the Toshiba ASP in your country to get a confirmation...

    What model of laptop do you have? What's second location of HARD disk available?

    What you need is the HARD disk enclosure. Something like this. It is not easy to know what part number, there, but you can contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and order the right one.

  • Satellite P500-12D adding 2nd HARD drive

    Toshiba UK say it is not possible to install a second drive in a P500-12D.
    The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
    I was also told that the second drive Bay could not be used "on the model" but the sata connection is there and inserts brass threaded in the case of the scree of the carrier are present.

    The Bay is deeper than 1 Bay (for the thicker > 500 GB drives and, therefore, the support unit for the 1st Bay can be used - entire centres are also different.)

    Ideas for a work around?

    Sorry for the spelling mistakes - my original message would not be accepted "your message contains profanity or inappropriate language.
    In the interest of your fellow forum users, we ask you to change your message.
    "but no indication as to where." Maybe it's that the things happening in the threaded inserts are not allowed

    Peter K

    > The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
    The reason is that there are different configurations of P500
    The P500 and other series of Toshiba laptops are equipped with different motherboards.
    Not all motherboards support 2 HARD drive controllers.

    This can be a bit confusing for someone buying a laptop and see the second HARD drive Bay, but if you would remove the 2nd HARD drive Bay cover, then you will see that there is no HARD drive connector.
    This means that you will not be able to use the second HARD drive.

  • No satellite P770-111 no SATA cable to connect the 2nd HARD drive

    Hello!

    I bought by Satellite P770-111 3 days and was hoping to insert another HARD drive that I had in my old laptop.
    OK, I opened the plastic cover on the bottom side of the laptop and there are 2 slots of HDD (2.5 ") but a single HARD disk.
    A HARD disk that is currenty in the laptop's big 500 GB. I would like to install another, but there is a problem:
    There is no cable to connect it to the motherboard SATA.

    Basically, there are 2 slots hard drive but only a connection interface. Could you please tell me how could I install a 2nd HARD drive?

    Thank you in advance!

    > there is no cable to connect it to the motherboard SATA.
    The fact is that not all laptops of the same series of notebook models are equipped with the same motherboard and controllers of same.
    This means that even if there is a second HARD-drive Bay, you will not be able to use a 2nd HARD drive. You know

    The chassis is the same in all models of laptops but there are different motherboards and not all supported 2nd controller.

  • 2nd hard drive for HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Notebook - what do I need?

    Hi, I have the HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Select Edition Entertainment Notebook (product # WV703AV). It can accommodate two hard disks but only came with one. What would need to be able to install the second hard drive? I need just a connecting cable or I also need to caddy or kit?

    Also, would I get a solid state? My laptop that would support or should I just use regular?

    Currently, I am on Windows 7 64-bit. I have a 500 GB hd (which came to be partitioned with hp tools/restoration).

    Help with what I would need to a conventional hard drive or ssd would be greatly appreciated. I tried to look through messages of others first, but could not find anything specific to my model. Thanks for your time!

    Hello:

    The only place I know where you can get a 2nd hard drive kit is that provider.

    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&products_id=345

    Your laptop should be able to work with an SSD, but I can't guarantee it.

    I don't really see any point in adding an SSD unless you make the main hard drive, and to do this, you must get an SSD of the same size as the original 500 GB hard drive to use the recovery discs to reinstall the operating system.

    Most people get smaller SSD and they use the W7 product key to activate a simple installation of W7.

    If you can read all 25 characters of your product key for windows 7, you can do your own installation media and allows to install Windows on a smaller than 500 GB SSD.

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • Pavilion 550-306no - for the 2nd HARD drive expansion slot?

    While thinking about replacing my old HP tractor, I browsed around the shop online for a possible new unit;

    Seems there is a box called Pavilion 550-306no, sold here in Sweden, which could meet my needs.  However, does anyone know if there is room (or not) for a 2nd HARD drive? Seems all the guides of the old user on how to develop yr PC in the forum of textbooks have been nuked.

    Concerning

    Hello

    The Specifications for the 550-306no indicate that it is not put into service for a disk hard 3.5 "2nd.  Review the information in the computer case.

    Some models will allow a 2.5 "HD or SSD to add.  See the image below.

    According to the amount of space available between the existing hard drive and the motherboard, you might be able to mount another HD using 3.5 media ".  Those that I had recommended in the past are now $40 (ouch).

  • Adding 2nd hard drive for Dell E310

    Hello

    I recently made some updates to my E310 and, until I got to the point where I was adding the second hard drive, everything went well.

    First of all, nobody in my local computer store knew of the blue Paw was to add 2nd hard drive; They suggested screw. This isn't the first hard drive I have installed, even if it is the first in my Dell. After my third attempt of Googling, I struck gold - a post in the forum explaining that support is needed and a telephone number to order. I am so grateful for this response.

    I read in similar positions and before putting the drive in I want to understand what is needed after the physical installation. This player will not hold the OS (XP Media), but held the whole image, music, and various files. Still must the player be partitioned and formatted using disk management I read in another post? I understand that I must go into the Bios to activate the second hard drive, so to speak. Is this similar to enter the CMOS? Would you be able to provide clear instructions?

    Is there anything else I should do to get the new HDD to be operational?

    Thank you for your time and thanks to the person who posted this phone number.
