HPEh8 - 1360t Desktop - 3rd hard drive

Can I install a 3rd hard drive of my computer desk HPEh8 - 1360t? You have two drives hard and two DVD players. Only 4 connections data cable to the motherboard - see all 4 currently used.  Is it possible to 'double-up' on a data cable connection? Have a connection of additional power.

From the motherboard page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03132942

I found there are actually 6 SATA ports.  There are two in the face of what I would call back (labeled SATA4 and SATA5)

Check this photo to see if it is the same as yours.

  • HP Pavilion Slimline s5580t CTO Desktop PC Hard Drive Upgrade

    Hi all

    I was wondering if I could upgrade my hard drive to an SSD and leave the existing as a backup HARD disk drive? Is there in the machine? Thank you!

    In a Slimline desktop space is quite limited, even if an SSD is format 2.5 ".

    You can probably adapt Island SSD in the Bay which was taken over by the DVD player.   Set up as startup disk so that you can enjoy the performance gain. Buy the largest capacity SSD that is in the budget to upgrade.

  • 750-103D want: I want to install a 3rd HARD drive but the system will not start

    Desktop motherboard has 5 heads SATA (of which 2 were used for the first DvD and HARD disk in the original Setup) and the box has 3 bays for HARD drive, but there is no additional power from the PSU cable.

    I installed a new SSD as my main and designated record the 1 TB of HARD drive that came with the desktop as my secondary school and office works just great.

    Now I tried to install an another 1.5 TB HARD drive for storage. I used a SATA power cable Y (1 male to 2 females) to extend the existing cable. However, to my great disappointment, the system is unable to start up. I guess that supply POWER 300 watts current is insufficient to start 3 disks to a single supply with extension cable.

    1] sells HP a 500-watt power supply with power cable for SATA 3 HARD drive?

    [2] is a compatible power supply on the market (ie. not HP) who can stand in 750-103D envy? Brand/model and how much?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Probably, you have misunderstood my response.  Unplug the original HD boot drive.

    Your question is not the power supply lack of insufficient power.  I have observed remains with HP computers with a power supply that would support three HDs off a 300 Watt SATA power cable voltage.

    Perhaps the third HD is formatted incorrectly or is defective.  The other possibility is that your SATA Y cable connection is defective.  You also need good 5V and 12V.  In addition, if you have made any hardware changes to your PC you have not indicated, then it is possible that you may need a bigger power supply.

  • Can I install a 3rd hard drive (SSD) on my desire to Phoenix 800?

    Hi, I just bought a Phoenix 800-089 wanted and I was wondering if I could use for an another SSD expansion Bay?

    There are already an SSD installed and do not know if the expansion Bay would allow another?

    If so, do I need to purchase a support of editing or something else so he can adapt?

    Thanks for your help.

    The HP ENVY Phoenix 800-089 desktop has space for three 3.5 hard drives "and two optical drives 5.25". Using the adapter rails, you can install a 2.5 SSD "in the third-party hard disk or in the second Bay oprtical Bay. A set of 2.5 "to 3.5" adapter may have been provided with your new SSD. If this isn't the case, any computer and/or electronic store will be available adapters.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 500f D: SSD replacement for HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f to original desktop PC hard drive

    Hi all!

    I would like to replace the original hard drive came with my desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f with an SSD, but when I tried, I got the error message that my SSD drive was not big enough. The original hard drive is 1.35 TB. What size an SSD should be to replace the original CT 1.35 supplied with my HP so that I could use the 1.35 disc as my second drive and the ssd as my main drive?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Yes I think a 240 GB SSD would be sufficient.  Using the hard drive for storage is a good idea.

    These articles HOWTO HP should be useful.

    You should be able to install the SSD in the existing hard drive cage as it is put into service for three hard drives.  Use a 2.5 "to 3.5" adapter.  You also need a SATA data cable.

    Don't forget to create the external recovery media and backup your data.

  • Office Pavilion - 400-540hk: unable to retrieve files from the old desktop USB HARD drive

    My old desktop (model: CQ4128HK) can be power on. So I bought a new desktop computer (model: Pavilion Office 400 540HK). I have a lot of important files in my old office, so I bought a SATA-USB enclosure and connect my old hard drive to the new office. However, after connecting the old HARD drive, I can't find my files or windows folders; Instead, I see that a single drive with folders named "Backup-xXXx" or "WindowImageBackup".  Please suggest how to recover my files on the old HARD drive. They are very important. Thank you.

    Hello

    Please try this first: bring the box (old HDD) and connect it to a machine not HP to see how it goes. I remember I have one similar problem in another day; reason: the old HDD still has a "signature" as a boot device.

    Kind regards.

  • Adding 3rd hard drive for HP Pavilion Elite m9250f

    I have a Pavilion Elite m9250f running Windows Vista Home 64 bit. The computer currently has two 500 GB hard drives for a total capacity of 1 TB. I would like to add a third drive to increase storage capacity.  I have a SATA to 2 to and cables. When I tried to install the new drive above the two existing disks, he did not slide smoothly. When I removed the already highest reader, I could slide the new drive into but the screws are not line up properly with the new drive. This leads me to believe that I can not install a third drive in the Bay. Is this a correct assumption?

    I have an available expansion Bay below the optical drive but am not sure that it is usable for a hard drive. If the use of the expansion Bay is possible, do I have to buy a hook or how to mount the drive in this space?

    If necessary, I can copy the data from the secondary drive on an external drive and replace it with the new drive. However, I need confirmation that the secondary is the player in the foreground of both in the hard disc enclosure.

    Thank you for your help.

    If the task under the existing optical Bay is open, just use an adapter to fill the space and to mount the drive in there.  Make sure of course that there is a power cord and a SATA port.

    Here is an example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816119027

  • Adding a 3rd HARD drive to my Pavilion elite m9150f

    I have a Pavilion Elite m9150f with a motherboard Asus IPIBL-LB. I have 6 sata ports, but only 4 are currently used. It has Vista Home Premium 32-bit running 2 HARD sata drive seagate 360 with a partion recovery and 2 CD/DVD players. I would add a Seagate 2 TB sata as main drive (C) both a bigger partion (posibly update of OS in the future) 20 to 25 GB for recovery (D) copied to starting from the origanal and reformat it as a temp for videos, etc. I can do this by moving the SATAS after the cloneing and move the optical drives and see MOBO them without having to make all kinds of changes to the BIOS. Thanks for any advice in doing so.

    Hello

    If you have already two drives hard and two optical drives, then you will have a hard time to find a place inside the PC to secure the third hard disk.

    You could try to use a 5.25 "to 3.5 adapter railsand then fix them and the hard drive down inside the PC. Another option would be to expand the two ports of the vacant motherboard to the I/O back plateand use a drive external eSATA dockthat could accommodate two hard disks that are either 2.5 "or 3.5" or a combination. That would give you great flexibility for the exchange of different hard drives while appearing that they are installed in their own country.

    You should be able to use a hard drive imaging product to the new hard drive the current boot drive. If you use VISTA then I would avoid using a disc hard format model advanced unless you know for sure that the disc produced Imaging align correctly partitions. In any case, if you use VISTA then upgrade to service pack 2 and run this update Intel utility before you install the new hard drive. Utility update driver Intel Intel Driver Update Utility level Bios 5.43is the latest bios for your PC.

    I use Paragon Hard Disk Manager Suite(eval copy) to make the imagery of my hard drive, but there are other products available. Macrium Reflectand Acronis are also good products.

  • How to copy data from one hard drive to another after the upgrade?

    I have a HP e9220y, and I recently bought a new hard drive for it. There is nothing wrong with the former, but this one has a 64 MB cache and 7200 RPM so I hope it will be a little faster. I installed it and it works fine, but I want to copy all data from the old disk to the new so I can start everything off the faster hard drive and I seem to have a bit of doing wrong. I can't just copy and paste because of the Windows system files that are used. And last night when I set up Windows backup, and went to bed, when I thought it that Windows has recovered from a stop unexpected, rebooted, and only 2 GB of data saved obtained.

    (1) If your old drive and the new drive is Seagate or Western Digital, then free House with their cloning software.

    (2) before starting the clone process, I found best to perform a disk cleanup and defragmentation.

    Cloning software to copy the two partitions. Example:

    Old drive 250 GB formatted to 232 C: created 220 and 12 GB D:

    New 1000GO drive formatted to 931 GB created 919 GB C: and D: to 12 GB

    The "Seagate disc Wizard" cloning software will let create you a clone automatic or manual partition resizing.

    The two modes to offer an overview of the actions before commit you. The manual on this page of Seagate (PDF) is 68 pages.

    After the cloning process he complete, all you have to do is swap on the disks. Besure to connect your new disc on the original motherboard SATA port.

    Hi @db69613,

    Welcome to the HP forums! It's a great way to engage, ask questions and find resolutions by working with specialists from the community of HP. I understand that you need assistance with your desktop computer HARD drive that is connected to your laptop via the USB port. I'll be happy to help you with this.

    I'm just surprised at the levels of technical knowledge and technical skills that your possession. Hats off to you for this. It was very clever of you! It has been a privilege to have shared this platform with you and work with you.

    First of all, programs of a different version or windows session will not work on another computer as it was installed on the computer of origin at this time. It is an installation and application software, to the difference of the data or information that is accessible by any computer when the hard drive is connected. It is because no software installation binds the application of this specific operating system installed on this specific to the time machine.

    If the computer does not and the hard drive is accessible, all the content (such as music, photos, videos, and other information are accessible), but the programs have been installed originally are not available and will not work on any other computer when it is connected to the outside.

    However, if the hard drive works fine, windows is correctly installed, then the same hard disk can be installed on another PC of office and some of the programs should work ideally.

  • 310 - 1125f HARD drive

    I try to know what physical size hard drive to buy to replace the one that just started my 310-1125f.  When I bought this refurbished from TigerDirect back in September 2011, I thought that it was a lot until I've opened the case to improve memory and found the RAM socket latches were broken.  I currently hold my RAM with a range of plastic beside the business.  Now the HARD drive is faulty and I guess that a standard 2.5 SATA HDD up to 2 TB would suffice, but it would be good to know without having to open the case.  I'm just worried about what I'll find when I go to replace the HARD drive.  The HP support page has been great.  Although the specifications of the product don't tell me the physical size of the HARD drive, you used to be able to order replacement parts.  Not that I would ever order a spare part of HP because of the huge markup, but at least you could get a part number and cross to an affordable item.  Now, I can't even to do.

    Someone please confirm the physical HARD disk size so that I don't have to open the case twice.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Very interesting. I have that the information should be on the User Guides but not. It actually turns out to be 3.5 "HDD as shown:

    "Storage characteristics are almost identical between the previous TouchSmart 300 and 310. It uses a desktop class hard drive although the size has decreased to 750Go compared to the previous 1 TB. This should provide a good amount of storage for most people, unless you use a lot of digital video. A double layer DVD portable player class writer resides on the left side of the screen. He is also a card reader memory 6-in-one at the bottom right just to top audio jacks. »

    And HP part store it also says use 3.5 "HDD:
