• Satellite P200-1EE I can install a 2nd hard drive in the Bay of spare?

  First of all, Hi everyone!

  I have the laptop model above, and he has a spare drive Bay. There are connectors for pins at one end, but it doesn't seem like the drive will fit. It's like there's a missing - like component case Connector for the 1st disk slot. I bought a 500 GB drive and tried to see if he would be in shape. The 1st disk has a metal basket attached, and who does not.

  Is it possible to install a 2nd drive for this model? If so, what would need to do?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  If you have a connector in the second HARD drive Bay, you can add a second HDD. But you will need a wire basket as on the first HARD disk. Therefore, you can contact an authorized service provider because you can get all the parts on their part.

  On the Toshiba site Web is a list of all ASP s, check it!

• Install a 2nd hard drive on hp m9060n

  Hi, I have a HP m9060n (Yes, I know, it's the kind of old) and my existing (2 x 320 GB) hard drive becomes full.  I want to keep the existing hard disks and add another hard drive.

  Just wondering if it is possible and what kind of HD I'm looking for.  Thinking 1-2 to disk (to store videos and images).  I'd prefer internal HD. Not sure what the diffence is between SATA, SATA2, etc...

  Thank you!

  OK, so I bought a 2 TB SATA hard drive today.  I read a bunch of articles where he said it would be easy and take 10 minutes... but things are always a little more difficult than it looks.

  My first problem is the question of the opening of the chassis.  I did it before, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember how to remove the front cover.  Fortunately, a google search had do me a detailed showing exactly how video for my model of hp.  Turns out it was easier than I thought (but I didn't want to sound stupid and explain to someone how I broke the lid before trying to open it).

  The thing that got me the most time was trying to figure out where to put the new hard drive.  The website of HP showed how to replace a hard drive (it has 2 existing hard drives), but did not say where to put the new drive in third.  I continued to look towards the top of the form on the internet, and he repeated, there should be 3 berries, but when I looked in the chassis, I saw the 2 existing hard drives but there was room to slip in a third-party player.

  The hard drive I bought was a model oem (no wires or screws or instructions) so I also scratch my head to know where I can find the screws to fix the drive in place.  I saw an empty optical drive Bay and thought it might work.  Yet once, google how to remove the metal plate and tried to put it in place, but that was made for a disc more so when searching in the chassis.

  Now, I've seen an external 3.5 slot "which was designed to be used by some hp location (it is empty I have never installed a).  Managed to disconnect and remove media from media slot and was able to fit my new hard drive into the slot.  From there, installation was pretty easy connect the sata and power cables).  Only problem was that, because I used a slot that was thought to an external media Bay, I was now a hole on the front of my chassis - but a little creativity with cardboard and tape that repaired quite easily.

  All reconnected and turned on and I was happy that the computer wasn't always serious.  But I couldn't see the new hard drive.  Again, google has helped a lot.  EU initialize the disk first, then format...  Now just awaiting the formatting to do to see if it works... fingers crossed...

• How to use the 2nd hard drive internal for storage?

  Hi, I am a newbie in all of this.

The thing is, I don't know how to access the 2nd internal hard drive and where to start. I did all of the following commands in the Terminal, but I don't really know what they mean, and what can I do with this information. I've been Googling but most are guides on how to install a 2nd hard drive etc. I hope that the information below is enough for someone to give me advice please?

• 2nd hard drive in Satellite Pro P200

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite Pro P200.
  Anyone know where I can get an advance and a shopping cart to install a 2nd hard drive?

  As far as I know your laptop can be improved with the second HARD disk if the SATA connector is available.
  When you remove the HARD drive to the second HDD can you see it or not?

  I have the Satellite P200D with place for second HARD drive, but there is no connector HDD SATA upgrade is not possible.

• 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!

  Damjan

  > 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.

• Pavilion dv9417ca: 2nd HARD drive in dv9417.ca for laptop

  Can I install a 2nd hard drive in the Bay of 2nd?

  Yes but I think that it is limited to 250 GB and will be pure storage... not bootable. You may need a caddy and the connector.

• Pavilion p6-2016 2nd HARD drive

  I have a HP Pavilion p6-2016.  Can I install a 2nd HARD drive?  There is no power connector (15 pills) for a 2nd HARD drive... If a 2nd HARD drive is acceptable without overloading the power supply, which cable I can buy for this?

  According to the specifications, there is that a single Bay 3.5 inch inside:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03073678

  I don't know where you're going safely mount a second hard drive in it. If you need an additional SATA power cable, you have a power cable 4 white pin (molex) unused? Any computer store would have a SATA to molex power adapter and all the SATA drives used to be packed with some sort of computer stores have a good number of them laying around.

• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

  Thank you

  PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

  Hey,.

  If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

  As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

• T410 fails to wake up from his sleep with the installed 2nd hard drive?

  Since I installed a second hard drive in my T410, a 250 GB Hitachi drive, my machine can't seem to wake from sleep (sometimes)... So, I have to do a hard reset.

  I had the same problem without the 2nd disc when I tried to use the HD password in BIOS and discovered that it was something to do with the disc Crucial M4 I use. But this same problem happening now since using the 2nd disc slot.

  Any ideas? I really like the extra storage space and won't remove based on this problem.

  Well it seems that the problem was caused by the version of the firmware for the SSD I installed it.

  The problem has been solved by updating the M4 Crucial SSD with the latest firmware...

  .. .and it solved the HD1 password issue too.

• 2nd hard drive install on pavilion dv7-3060us 17.3 inches with Quad core processor

  Pavilion dv7-3060us computer has a 2nd hard drive Bay.  On 2 flags of 17.3 inches previous, I installed a 2nd HDD.  This quad core Pavilion is much thinner than the previous pavilions;  the underside of the computer has also a centre piece in the form of "T" in the Panel without screw - is a pop on the access panel or the entire bottom panel needs to be removed through the perimeter screws?  Still trying to find a manual showing this particular case - no luck so far.  The downloaded HP

  Manual for the previous dv-7 is for the case of style like unless I missed something.

  Install an SSD soon - would like to have all the "stuff" to install a 2nd drive hard if possible.  Anything I should be aware of before perform this procedure?  Don't really want to remove all the merits of the case.

  Thanks for any help that can be provided.

  DP - K

  I appreciate the help.  The Caddy is the same that I used before (on the 1st dv7) the 2nd dv7 used the direct taking of 90 degrees into the adapter.  I have both of these me more allotted a 500 GB HD.  All I need pickup is the SSD.

  The "T" sign on the back of my case has no screws - but I can see the 3 component tabs snap at the top of the "T" through the small crack on the case.  These are shown on the exploded view of repair.  I'm projecting from the 'snap-out' Panel down on the vertical leg of the "T".

  Once again; Thank you

• 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.
