• Can satellite A300 - 15 M - I install a second HDD?

  Hello.

  I have a SatelliteA300 - 15M. 2 years ago, I bought the laptop. I have the 250 GB hard drive that came with the laptop. Recently, I received my laptop in service of the local store. I noticed that there was an additional location to another hard drive. I saw a post that some of A300/A305 laptops have room for a second hard drive, but not the connectors.

  If someone has A300 - 15 M can they please tell me if I can install a second internal hard drive in my model? Is there a safe way to find if I can install a second hard drive?

  Hello

  > but no connectors.
  If the case is clear: If you don t have a second SATA connector, you can install a second HDD of the t.

  Also check the forum on these issues. The point is that a notebook series (e.g. Satellite A300) is always equipped with the same case, but the material is different. So not all models have the same features. ;)

• Satellite Pro P300-1F1 - how to install a second HDD?

  Hello

  I would like to install a second hard drive to my Satellite Pro P300-1F1.

  I would like to know if I need a "cellar" special to set the hard drive inside the Bay? Where could I get such a thing in Germany (near Cologne)?

  On the inside of the drive Bay cover HARD are four plastic pins that are so long that it is impossible to close the cover when a hard drive is built in.
  What I have to just shorten or do I need a new cover or pins work like a kind of attachment?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Is there a connector from the HARD drive in the second span?

  If this isn't the case, then you can not install a HARD drive in any case. The second span is because he shares a common design with models that have a second HDD of the factory.

• How to install a second HDD in Stelllite P200D

  I want to install an SSD and move my HARD disk in the slot to the second HDD. I can't find any document how to install second HDD. Do I need special adapter or no matter what HW for this?
  best regards Frank

  Hello

  At the bottom of the unit, you will find two bays for HARD drives. Right?
  But a Bay does contain all the connectors? Right?

  At first glance, this might be a little strange, but the fact is that the different models of Satellite P200/P200D were available on the market with different motherboards.

  Some would argue a 2nd HARD drive but some don t units. But all models supports the same low coverage and some people think that a 2nd HARD drive would be possible, what's not.

• Instructions to install a second HDD in Inspiron s 660

  I have a WD10EARS 1 TB drive HARD internal of an old Dell PC, I want to install.  When I opened the folder Inspiron 660 s (new) I couldn't find space for a second HARD drive (I found the first HARD drive but not obvious room for a second HDD).  HARD drive WD10EARS will fit in my new Inspiron 660 s PC?

  Where can I find instructions on installing a second hard drive in a 660 s Inspiron?

  Thank you!

  There is nowhere to mount a second disc, unless you are willing to give up the optical drive (in which case you can buy 3.5 "to 5.25" adapter to use with the player.)

  The other way is to mount the drive in an external enclosure and use it outside.

  There is only two SATA connectors in the system so that you can not connect a third internal drive (and there is no physical space for one).

• Satellite A350 - how to install a second HDD?

  Hallo

  I have a laptop, A350-13I. The laptop has a slot to install a second hard drive, but there is no connector for it. Does anyone know what changes are needed to install a second hard drive?

  Hello

  The answer is quite simple: you can do anything!

  The reason you have a second slot without connector are that some models are equipped with a second HARD drive and other models not I think.

  The fact is that you can t add second disk of your laptop.
  If you need more disk space, you can use a larger HARD drive or external DRIVE for the data disk.

  Hello

  I think the case is clear your phone isn't designed for a second HDD if you don t have a second HARD drive connector in the second HARD drive Bay.

  The point is that some laptops A200 are designed for a second HDD and so not all models have a second connector but all a second HDD bay.
  As I see in your pictures that you don t have a second connector HARD drive and laptop can use a second HDD.

• 17-x014ur HP: HP 17-x014ur held for second HDD

  I want to know, if in my laptop is the place for the second hdd? I can't find a plug about it on the site

  There is no profit. It is what it is. A SATA M.2 connected via the same port as a 2.5 inch SATA SSD will perform about the same. If your laptop computer has the necessary hardware to install a 2.5 inches WHAT SATA SSD, but you would have to buy additional hardware to operate a m2 drive the and you will get nothing in performance. Seems an easy decision what to do.

• Satellite Pro A300 - can I add a second HDD?

  Hi Forums,

  I have an A300 PSAGDA-02000R and was wondering if it is possible to add a second HDD to it. After I removed the Panel to inspect where the second HDD going, I discovered that there is no connector, so I was wondering if you bought or have Toshiba install a second series of connectors?

  any response would be great

  Thank you F1R3F1GHT

  Hello

  > where will the second HDD, I discovered that there can be no connector
  That means that you can add a second HDD. That's fact!

  The fact is that all the A300 models using the same case but if you can connect a second HDD it according to the motherboard. This connector is attached to this topic and you can therefore add one such connector.

• Second HDD in Satellite X 200-21 K (PSPBUE)

  I am looking for information on installing the second HARD drive in my laptop.

  Laptop has a Bay "void/replacement part" for the second HARD drive, but there is no connector of drive in the Bay. Therefore, there is no easy way to upgrade.

  So I looked on the net, and as far as I know I have two options:

  (1) buy appropriate hard drive connectors and 2.5 "HDD. Take apart my laptop, connect the cables on the motherboard and install second HARD drive into the empty Bay.
  T1) motherboard X 200-21 K she second (to spare) SATA connector? I guess that this motherboard have only two SATA connectors (one for the HARD drive) and one for DVD.
  Q2) is possible to connect two hard drrives on a motherboard SATA connector?

  (2) replace the DVD with HARD drive
  Q1) is it possible? Is there anyone from replaced DVD with HARD drive?
  I saw on the internet that this is possible on the MacBook and some other portable/laptop (HP,...)

  Thanks for the replies
  PL

  If there is no connector to the second HARD drive, motherboard is not ready for these updates.
  These upgrades are not supported, and I fear that you may damage the motherboard just.

  If you want to have accurate info contact the nearest authorized and ask if something like this can be done. My personal opinion is no and think about the warranty too.

  BTW: If you need second HARD drive you can connect small 2,5 HDD as another external via USB port. You can also take with you anywhere and connect to other computers/laptops. For me, it is definitely the best solution.

• Satellite X 205-S9349 - second HDD are not bootable

  Hi all.
  I encountered a very strange error: my second HDD are not bootable, but only on my note (have 2 hard drives and I have installed Vista on the first and XP on the second). It worked well for about year.

  And once I worked in Vista, I've just going to boot XP and restarted just the note and it did not start more than just initialization on the post screen. It initializes everithing is nice and I can even manage BIOS but goes no further.

  After that, I tested each part if it does not my notes to start and this is the second HARD drive. I have tried to swich my HARD drives, but it does not work. Two SATA connectors work although I tested with the first HARD drive. If I comment on second HARD drive in BIOS, the system starts up nice, I can see the second HARD drive and work with it.
  But if this is not comment system does not further thant post-test after it initialized everithing!

  The strange is that it works well on my desk. Not a single problem with this HARD drive, I installed XP on it and it starts ok.
  I tried to format the HARD drive, in order to kill and create the partition, even to write own mbr... None of it worked)
  It still won't go note during an office is ok.

  Pls if people if anyone can help me with a post serious ideas here or send me an email - [email protected]

  Thank you

  How did you choose which OS should start?
  You use a boot manager?

  I have the Satellite Pro P300 with two hard drives (each with two partitions). On the fist one I installed Windows XP Home edition and Vista second. When I start my Windows laptop boot manager asks me what operating system I want to start.

  How it worked on your laptop?
