  Hello

  While you can certainly add another HARD drive in the Bay of secondary drive (you must also support and the connection cable) you can't boot from it - only in the Bay of primary HARD drive is bootable.

  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).

  As the player in question is VIsta, it does not start correctly and could delay the start of WIN7.

• I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?

  I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?  Somewhere in the 320 to 500 GB range and I want a quick unit because it will be used for rendering videos.    Thank you for your response.

  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.

• Can I add a second hard drive on the Qosmio X 500-12 q?

  Hello
  I would like to know if its possible to add a second hard drive to the X 500-12 q?
  I suppose that space is available, but I would like to know whether the connector is here & all
  I could just open the case and plug it in.

  Thank you

  In the document s user manuals I have not found something on HD upgrade so I m really don't know if this will be possible.
  Anyway, as Jeka wrote, remove the HARD drive cover and check if there is place for second HARD drive and also necessary SATA connector.

  I have older 300 x and there is room for two drives.

• Can satellite A300 - 15 k (PSAJ4E) - I add a second HARD drive?

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 k (PSAJ4E) and my question is, can I add second HARD drive? Now, I have a HARD inside drive, Hitachi 250 GB, 5400 RPM. is there a place for the second HARD drive?

  I want to buy some 2.5 in 7200 RPM, thx in advance.

  Hello

  Check the bottom of the unit.
  There should be a second HARD drive Bay.
  If the second HARD drive bay contains the pins of the connector HDD/then you could add a second HARD drive 2.5 SATA.
  If the connector is not available, then the second HDD is not possible.

  See you soon

• Satellite A200-1 s 5 - can I use a second HARD drive and RAID?

  Hi all

  Toshiba Satellite A200-1 s 5 is eligible to add a second hard drive? It has RAID controller as much I know - it might help?

  Thank you
  Denis

  If you have a SATA connector in the second HARD drive Bay, you can use a second HDD. Check it!
  Then you can buy each disc HARD what you want with SATA port.

  The Satellite A200 doesn't have a RAID controller.

• Add the second hard drive for HP Pavilion dv7-3173nr

  So rumor is my DV7 may take a second hard drive.

  So I got a second drive, open the bottom where the reader will, and there is no SATA connector. Apparently I need a shopping cart or something, but I can't. Am I missing something obvious?
  
  Thank you.

  Yes you need a shopping cart and a connector. The interface is not a standard SATA plug... There is a cable that connects the SATA drive in a small plug in the second Bay.

• How can I add a second hard drive for my dv7-3060us?

• Add the second hard drive to HPE-400Z

  I am trying to add a secondary hard drive to expand the storage space that I only have 10% of free space on the current.

  "Will buy one online" Seagate Desktop drive HARD 2 to 7200 tr / MIN SATA 6 Gb/s 64 MB Cache 3.5 "-drive retail Kit internal (STBD2000101)" enters the cage OK? Existing drive is Seagate 1 TB guess so, but do not get it and discover it doesn't work.

  This disc has new SATA data and power cables.

  It is clear that there is a free connection of motherboard "SATA2" for data, I can see it. Sounds easy.

  What I can't understand is where and how the POWER cable is connected to... or what might be able to be used which already exists for power connectors in the office. There is a certain and they all have beautiful marking... "P3,"P8",...".

  I found instructions on installing hard drive on HP site... everything is clear for me except for this problem of power cable.

  Did he help me with that?

• Can I add a second hard drive to an ATC-605-UB11?

  I'm about to buy this model and I would like to add a second drive, keep the current hard drive and the optical drive.  Is this possible?  Can I buy additional cables?  The new drive will fit in the chassis, or will I need a mounting hardware?

  Some posts have mentioned black and white SATA connectors.  What is the difference?

  Yes, you can add an extra HDD or SSD.  Two white sata data ports are SATA 3 (6Gbits/s) and the black sata data port is SATA 2 (3 Gbps).

  I would recommend that you purchase an extension to sata power cable:

  http://www.Amazon.com/GP/product/B008ZB50SS?PSC=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

  And a SATA data cable (you don't need a 90 a degree as I - one straight, one would work better):

  http://www.Amazon.com/GP/product/B00552PGC0/ref=s9_topr_hd_bw_g147_i6?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=...

  4 holes screws for the existing 3.5 inch HDD mounting are obviously designed for a disk 3,5 '' HARD.

  The 4 screw holes for the second disc unit you want to add editing are for one SSD 2.5-inch or 2.5 inch HDD.

  I bought a 2.5 inches for support adapter 3.5 inches because I don't have enough close attention in time to realize that the holes line up perfectly for one SSD 2.5.  If you do not need any kind of support if you add a 2.5 SSD ".  Screw you just good to.

  BX100 MLC SSD Crucial that I bought and recommended even if any 2.5-inch SSD should work fine even if I do not recommend the BX200 TLC Crucial are:

  http://www.Amazon.com/GP/product/B00RQA6TEI?PSC=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00

  I also bought this one to another computer and use as a boot drive for OS.  Works well when you have a more secondary HARD disk.  The price is right, but it's a little on the slow side from a point of view writing SSD.  Boot times are fast.

  Here is an example of a 2.5 inch HDD (hard drive) that I * guess * lined up with available screw holes:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=9SIA2W02KN0922

  Just keep in mind that the HARD drive that came with it is a 3.5-inch HARD drive.

  Arrows in the photo below represent the locations of the holes 4 screws for the second disc.  (ignore that I have only two screws )

  

  Edit: because the reader of DVD (ODD) is plugged into a SATA 3 white port, you'll want to move it to the available data black SATA port and then use the newly vacant SATA port white for your new SSD or HDD.

• 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.

• How to add a second hard drive Ubuntu Server, that runs on vmware workstation 9

  Hello

  I am running vmware workstation on windows 9 8, and I installed Ubuntu 12.10 as a virtual machine on my SSD. I installed a second hard drive in the machine and use the "Add a HDD" feature on vmware workstation to add and pre-allocate space. The problem is that the drive does not appear in Ubuntu. I have checked/Media and / dev, I expected to see something like /sda *. It is a procedural step, I missed it, please help!

  Do I have to mount the drive in a special way? How can I check if it is properly attached?

  Thank you!

  What you said so far, it's like adding a second physical drive to a physical computer and the operating system cannot access until it was partitioned and formatted, and then it can be mounted.  To do the same thing in a VM!
