Is someone can you please tell me if my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC can handle a 2 TB internal hard drive?

Additional information:

  • Type of system: X 64-Based PC
  • Processor: Intel (r) Core i5 CPU M460 @ 2.53 GHz, MHz, 2 4 logic Lossnay 2534...
  • The version of the BIOS/Date: Hewlett-Packard F.25, 12/01/2011
  • SMBIOS Version: 2.6
  • Intalled physical memory (RAM) 8.00 GB
  • Total physical memory: 7,80 GB

Also, I read that I might have to update my BIOS for it to 'read' the whole disc, which would be the case in this situation?

I would like to especially video games more quickly, in addition to having several installed (larger) programs.

Thank you for your help, I appreciate your advice.

Hello:

You must also ensure that 2 TB HARD drive has the same physical dimenstions than your current one, or it may not correspond in the Bay.

Some TB HDD 1 and 2 are thicker than hard drives of 500 GB.

    A good starting point is the Information System (Option while clicking the Menu Apple key). At the hardware level, click on Express SATA/SATA and look for the SMART State in the bottom right pane for each HD listed in the upper pane right. Unless the State is OK, looks like not verified. If the drive is totally dead, search for a missing list for a drive Bay, you know is filled.

  • How can I add an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300

    I installed an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300. He only appears in "Device Manager" and shows to work but he does not appear in 'my computer' and has not assigned a drive letter. It's a western digital 1200js-22mhbo. My drive root 'C' is also a wd1200jd from western digital. Can someone tell me what I do to get it to show up with a drive letter, and I have to format it? Also, there is a way to format so I can install programs on it as my "C" drive or I just will be only able to use it as extra storage? Thanks a lot for your help!

  • Re: How can I add a second internal hard drive to a Satellite Pro P200?

    I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a single internal hard drive. There is a second Bay in the computer of another internal hard drive, but I couldn't find any information about it. There is enough space for a 2.5 "SATA but I do not see a connector.

    I contacted Toshiba Dutch customer service who said that it was official policy not to provide any information on a second internal drive. They also said that they would not provide parts to make it possible.

    Can anyone provide more information?

    Hello!

    I think that if there is no connector you cannot add a second HDD.
    It of Nice to have a second Bay, but it's nothing without a connector.

    Good bye

  • Desktop P7-1039: can I add an extra internal hard drive?

    I would like to install an extra internal hard drive on my desktop HP-P7-1039. I can't find anywhere in the literature if there is an available for an extra drive Bay. If it is available, can this disc type and size I install?

    Thank you

    CErepair guide, it seems that there is place in the hard drive to another hard drive cage.  The existing hard drive is 1.5 to, but a slow hard disk standards.  Not to exceed 2 TB Windows has problems with the disks.  So look for a disk 3,5 '' SATA, 2 TB or less from a manufacturer of your taste.

  • Help! I can't import again second internal hard drive.

    Lightroom doesn't let me import photos on my new internal hard drive. It lists only the OS (c :) and don't let me no change to my new hard drive (b).  What should I do?

    I suggest that you try to assign a different drive letter, one that is drive D or higher. I think Lightroom is still old-fashioned and considers the player B must be a disk.

    My s manual says I can install 10, 20 and 30 GB HARD drive! I have the latter. Can I install the 80 GB with no problems?

    Hello

    I found the same info. If you want to be sure that pick up some info from the HARD drive supplier or service partner. They are responsible for the hardware upgrade of the laptop. As far as I know, they are also able to manipulate the BIOS settings and large capacity that HARD drive is recognized correctly.

    Assuming that "belltest02esx" is the name of the host ESX (i), "storage1" probably refers to the local data store.

    Using the vSphere client, in the tab configuration select storage and click on available data warehouses. In the lower pane, you should be able to see the corresponding UUID.
