Pavilion 6000: No power to second hard drive cable

Hard disk in the PC crashes mechanically.  You want to ghost a second hard drive before the first drive crashes completely.   Bought double the existing hard drive, but there is no connector power cable for this.  Plug SATA, but cannot turn on the second hard drive.  What should I do?

LB1815, welcome to the forum.

If I understand your problem, this is the Connector that you need.  It converts a single SATA power cable with two connectors.  This allows you to connect two drives with the cable.  There are many other brands available on Newegg.  It is an example.

    If there is a port to spare for a second hard drive, is there a maximum useful?

    You can install another HARD drive in the PC because there is a free SATA port.

    With regard to the supply cable, if your a more SATA connectors, you can use it to connect the secondary HDD in the system.

    Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

  • HP Pavilion p6-2302ea - adding a second hard drive is internal.

    Model: HP Pavilion p6-2302ea:

    Product no.: C3T77EA #ABU:

    How can I add a second internal hard drive to the chassis. There seems to be a single hard disk. I have to buy an internal drive caddy?

    If you were you, I would consider adding an SSD for a boot drive. Really, you won't need a caddy for one SSD because you can use strips to hold it in place.

    Alternatively, you can consider removing the DVD drive and buy a cart to put the new drive (spinner old HDD) sink to replace.

  • Add the second hard drive in the Dell Optiplex 780 SFF

    Hello

    I have dell Optiplex 780 SFF (Small Form Factor) PC. It has 3 options of SATA. I want to add 2nd hard drive in it, but I see no power for 2 hard drive cable.

    At the present time, I have a SATA Hard Drive and a SATA Super Combo. But the power cable from the SATA Super combo is very unique, I can not able to give the power of this cable to my 2nd hard drive.

    Is it possible to add 2 hard disk in the PC case?

    Best regards

    Dani

    Hi Dani,

    The SFF is using a drive slim lens that does not have a standard SATA power connection. You will need to buy an adapter or a SATA power cable splitter to power a second hard drive.

  • Adding a second hard drive to a 500-380nf Pavilion?

    I just bought a new 500-380nf Pavilion.

    In the store I did understand the seller I was intending to add second hard drive to a 1 to SATA (which I already loaded with all my media files).

    However, now I am home and have taken the side panel, it seems that the system a capacity for 2 more SATA connections on the motherboard, power cable from spare at least one and a lot of physical space.

    BUT the chassis appears to have been designed with ONLY 2 bays - that are occupied by the existing hard drive and the optical drive.   Am I missing something?   There is a place to mount the second hard drive, isn't there?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Some models of the HP 500 - xxx series are provsioned for a 2.5 device "(SDD ou HD)."  See the image below.

    If you have removed the optical drive you can then use a 5.25 "to two hard drive adapter 2.5"since you mentioned a 2.5 hard drive".

    What do I need install the second hard drive HP PAVILION: p6633w?

    Hello

    You need two cables, one is a sata cable:

    http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/30305659/706331346/STARTech-com-6in-SATA-to-right-angle-SATA-serial-ATA-cable-female-SATA-female-SATA-6-inch-red/ListingDetails.html?_%24JA=TSID:13315% 7Ccat: 30305659% 7Cprd: 30305659 & kw = {keyword}

    This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

    The other cable is energy:

    http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html

    It connects the hard drive to the PSU.

    You can also buy a combo like this cable:

    http://www.Amazon.co.UK/DP/B00064GBT4/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9550951989&ref=asc_df_B00064GBT4

    All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

  • How can I add second hard drive to a Pavilion a6838f? cc = us

    I have an a6838f of Pavilion with a 500 GB SATA hard drive.  I also have an a6838f where the motherboard was fried by a nearby lightning strike.  Can someone tell me how to transplant the hard disk of the machine of death in the other as a second hdd.  I can find only one wire with two SATA power connectors that are currently in use (CD drive and HARD drive).  Thank you.

    richiej,

    That PSU (5188-2625) shown here http://www.power-on.com/ea350u.html is supposed to have 4 Sata power leads, 2 on each leg of cable. See the PDF file, PF - PI http://www.power-on.com/images/mechanical/ea350u.pdf

    If search you and trace the tracks, you might find these other Sata power cards.

    BTW, Frank meant molex to Sata.

  • Add the second hard drive to a desktop Pc HP Pavilion P6-2100

    I want to add a second hard drive to a HP Pavilion A1700n Pc desktop to a new HP Pavilion P6-2100 Desktop Pc, so I can transfer files.

    milehisb,

    Welcome on the user forums.  Section manuals PDF from HP did not offer a guide to upgrade and Service.

    There are several options, depending on your needs and your expertise with the internal components of a computer.

    If you goal is to simply get the data off the drive, then put it back in the A1700n, I would use #1.

    (1) use this external adapter for occasional use:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002

    (2) first search to find if you have a spare Sata power plug. Or you will need an adapter (molex 4pin to Sata).

  • Possible to install the second hard drive in the p6110f Pavilion

    Is it possible to install a second hard drive, 1 TB Seagate, in the expansion on my Pavillion p6110f slot?

    Hello

    Your PC has a hard drive cage which will host two disks.  This how-to - HP document from removing a hard drive will show you the process to remove the hard drive cage.

    If you want to continue using the Expansion Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 3.5" adapter support. NewEgg.com would bring such a support.  You also need a SATA data cable.  This how-to - HP article will give you an idea on how to use Expansion with a 5.25 device Bay ".  Check by the optical drinve for a spare SATA power connector.  If it is not available, then you will need to use a SATA power splitter.

    Hello

    How fast is fast is the real question.

    Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

    Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

    Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

    Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-4180ea second hard drive

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion dv7-4180ea (XE274EA #ABU). One of the reasons why I chose this laptop was because it was announced as being able to have two hard drives.

    When I open the HDD I discovered that it there is no way to install a second hard drive, because the cable and the caddy is missing.

    Anyone know the part number for it? The necessary cable is longer, so the previous parts for DV7 don't work with it. I called my local provider of HP, and they did not know the number of the piece, which is a little ridiculous. I probably have to pay RIP-OFF prices for something that should have been included in the laptop in the first place.

    HP has not yet, but do to the sites of third parties.

    NewMode

    These guys are the main suppliers of spare hard drive caddy. It will work. HP eventually will do the part available but don't hold your breath. $40 is a bit strong but not terrible. HP will charge more when they make available.
