HP Z600 workstation: HDD WORK HP Z600 workstation

Hello

This will probably sound funny to you guys, but please help.

1. can I add a HDD ATA to the HP Z600 workstation?

2 If this is not the case, can the HARD SATA 3 drive, or should it be less?

Thank you

You cannot add an ATA hard drive (aka PATA EIDE) directly as the z600 has no port EIDE. PATA is dead and has been for many years, and you certainly don't want to use a hard drive EIDE both old and slow, which now is probably very close to the end of its useful life as a hard drive permanently in the z600.

However, if it is just to copy through the data of the old EIDE disk on a storage medium more recent then there are ways to do. We need to connect the old hard drive via an EIDE to SATA adapter to one of the internal SATA ports. However, a less cumbersome alternative is an external PATA-USB adapter or a hard drive enclosure external PATA with USB port, which can be found pretty cheap these days.

As for SATA3 (aka SATA 6 GB/s), the z600 SATA ports are limited to SATA2 (aka SATA 3Gbps), however SATA3 is backward compatible, so you can use a disk/SSD SATA3 in the z600, but obviously performance will be limited to SATA2 (i.e. of speeds<300MBps). if="" you="" want="" full="" sata3="" performance="" (i.e.="" for="" an="" ssd)="" then="" get="" a="" suitable="" disk="" controller="" (i="" use="" an="" adaptec="" 6805="" raid="" controller="" with="" samsung="" ssds="" in="" ours;="" another="" alternative="" is="" the="" lsi="" megaraid="">

I hope this helps!

  • Satellite L670-1john - recovery Will HDD work if I leave the D partition?

    My question is: HDD recovery works if I create a new partion E: on my D: drive?

    Hello

    To be honest, I've never tested it, but I think that you should be able to use HARD drive recovery, even if the partition D has been changed, but that's just my opinion.
    So before you change anything on the HARD drive, I recommend you create the recovery disk!
    The recovery disc helps you define the laptop (and also HARD drive) back to the factory settings if anything went wrong with the HARD disk or similar

    With recovery disk, you are on the safe side you know
    I think you can run a series of experiments after the recovery disk was created.

    Please share your experience with us, I m very interesting.

  • Satellite 1800-814-new 80 GB HDD works fine!

    For general information:

    I recently installed a Western Digital Scorpio 80 GB at 5400 RPM 2 MB Cache 2.5 "HDD 12MS and it works very well.

    The old 20 GB drive is now in a case/enclosure and works like a disk external DRIVE for my old Multimedia 6500 office which had only 10 GB.

    Which works very well also.

    Cool, thanks for the info.
    I noticed that many users request a size of HDD supported on various Toshiba laptops.
    This info will help our community to gather the necessary training on hard drives compatible.

    Hello Ajqb79,

    Thank you for your message.  Firstly, your computer is still under warranty?  If so, I would advise to have your manufacturer fix it.  Given that this problem could be due to a number of factors, we will not be able to give you an exact reason that it happened.  From my experience, many computer manufacturer will opt to replace the motherboard, when something of this nature happens.  I can't guarantee that this will fix the problem though.
    See you soon

  • External USB HDD 320GB 10 error code

    Hi im having trouble with my 320 GB external hard drive I bought about 2 months ago and has worked very well to the top and up to now, where it seems to want a driver who I was not provided with the hard drive because it is plug-and-play and does not connect to my computer just returns the error code 10 on all my computers can someone help me find this driver or help me with this problem out as I noticed many people seem to happen with the 250 GB and 320 GB hard drives at the moment?

    Hello

    You suggested that this drive worked properly.
    One question; have you used the option to remove USB device?

    Sometimes the USB could not recognize the USB device because the device was removed without using this option.

    Maybe this will help: go to Device Manager and remove the USB ports. After restart of the operating system to reinstall the USB ports. Then check if the USB HDD works.

    Thank you

    If attack you any problem drive, now you have a chance of saving most or all of your data. If you expect that the disc is really dead, as then you are stuck with paying a recovery company data of hundreds of thousands of dollars for maybe recover some of your data. For me, it's an easy choice.

  • Satellite A300-15B - 300 SATA-Compatible?

    Hi all
    I only run Kubuntu (64 bit) for the moment on my machine, but I would add an extra internal hard drive, so to reinstall Vista.

    My questions are:
    1. If there is no problem with the extra hard drive, (the beach is empty then why not add a few outside more GB of storage?)?
    2. I found that good part of WD 500 GB but it's sata 300 so I'm not sure if my motherboard can afford it.

    If the above is fine, something extra, off-topic will be if I can still use my windows activation key.

    Many thanks in advance,
    Nikos

    Hey,.

    It s absolutely no problem adding a second HDD. As you already wrote, why not add a few more ;) GB

    General rule, SATA 300 (> SATA2) hard drives are not a problem. As far as I know Satellite A300 already supports SATA2 and if not all SATA2 hard drives is compatible downgrade SATA1 interface. So each SATA HDD work on each controller SATA, no compatibility issues don't.

    If you install Toshiba Recovery disk Windows, no activation or product key is required.
