Pavilion t770.uk: ADDING a SECOND HARD DISK
Hello
I have a HP Pavilion t770.uk desktop PC. According to the manual, there is a dual Bay HARD drive space, which means that a second HDD can be mounted also on the original HARD disk. Data ATA series and power wires are there and there is space at the back of the HARD drive for an extra HARD drive cage, but he doesn't seem to be any fixing points to hold the HARD drive safely. HARD drive existing slots outside the cage and is held in place by a plastic locking support, but no such support or fixing holes are there for a second HDD. Can anyone help?
See pages 10-15 in this manual:
This shows how to add a second hard drive, with or without the cage.

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.

Upgrade HP Pavilion Elite m9040n PC (GN553AA) second hard disk (e :))
The only upgrade to the office, is that it is now running Windows 8 32-bit Pro. The second disc (E is the original disk of 320 GB.) What is the most big hard disk (in GB or TB) can I put in to replace the secondary hard drive (E?) The BIOS is running with the delivered version.
Hey HPbinary,
Most SATA drives should work in the system, so, basically, any capacity will be fine.

Adding a second hard drive on a Dimension E521
I want to install a second hard drive in my Dimension E521. I found a power cable that connects the original drive and the second drive, but not for the 2nd drive data cable. I have another data cable, but where can I reach the other end? I don't see another place on the motherboard to connect to.
Thank you very much for the research.

How to add a second SATA hard drive.
Basically, all you need is a 24 "[or more] x 180 * 90 x * [square] SATA cable data, similar as unit HERE , try to buy the cable of a store of the local computer, to save the S & H."
HERE are the details to install the second hard disk.
Connect the SATA data cable to any connector SATA open the card mother and once installed, the internal hard drive access configuration and verify that the drive and the port it is connected also is set to [OFF] auto.
Location of the four motherboard SATA connectors, can be seen HERE
For windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned and formatted using the Windows Disk Manager.
The system configuration details are HERE.
Use one of the power connectors SATA [P3, P5, P8, and P9] inside the case, see HERE for more details.

HP Pavilion 510n - adding the Second hard drive?
A few questions...
1. is there a size limit for any player second, I would like to add?
2. What is the procedure for adding the second disc?
-J' added a second drive to an OLD pc before and it involved linking the second slot on an IDE cable, change the jumper on the slave drive settings, and modify the bios settings... it would be similar?
Hello TSobiech, it is always best to ask to order a part that is not compatible with a certain system.
The hard disk that you show the link should work perfectly. Even if it's an ATA100, and your system supports ATA33/66, this disc should still work but will be downclocked to ATA66 speed.
Here is another link to a 250 GB IDE HDD if you might be interested.
You won't notice much, if any, degradation in performance to the difference in speed. These IDE drives are higher than the price a SATA with the same capacity, but they are becoming harder to find.
Since you want to be using as operating in car system, but just a backup drive, they want to make a difference.
If you want to make use of the full speed of ATA100, you could add a map of IDE controller supporting ATA100, but I really don't think it would.
Since you mentioned the intermediate layer of IDE as not being used, you can connect the new drive to this connector.
Now, there are a few things that you should check that you install the new hard drive. These are the connectors of jumper on hard drives.
This is the very small plastic with metal inserts, at the end of the hard drive where are the other connectors.
I always use the CSEL (CS) on two hard drives. Readers may already have jumpers to this setting (jumpers connection), but if not, you must set two hard drives the selection of cables (CS).
Since the current IDE hard drive is the boot hard drive and an ATA66, it must be connected to thin ribbon cable connector, as it is now, and the new hard drive attached to the middle connector IDE. The slowest speed of the two hard drives will result in two hard drives running at the slower of the two speeds. It will work very well.
You need to partition and format the new hard disk before it can be used. This can be done from Windows if necessary.
I hope this helps.

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".

Windows 7 - HP Pavilion HPE h8 - 1360t I added a second hard drive
I installed a seagate (seagate 2 TB Barracuda SATA) second drive on my desktop computer. When I got to the top I could go to the control panel and not see under the heading records. Seagate said to go to the BIOS and choose 'Auto Connect your new drive', but there is no other choice to Auto Connect. If anyone can tell me who is the right choice on the BIOS screen to find and identify my new second hard drive?
Hello
In the disk management window, right-click on your new HARD drive and select Format to start the wizard. Windows 7 will affect a Volume label so if your happy with it, just leave the default. File system is NTFS. Allocation unit size must be left by default. Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done. Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.
Once this done, your new HARD disk should now appear when you look under the computer.
Kind regards

Adding a second hard drive Pavilion Elite HPE-163uk
Is it possible to add a second hard drive in a 163uk HPE?
I have a second drive in my old PC (which I think is IDE) containing a large amount of data that I would put rather just in the HPE163uk instead of transferring it everywhere.
The new HP HPE PCs series is all models of disk hard sata port. Buy an external USB enclosure for your old hard drive.

I have a HP Pavilion P6716F. The vehicle currently has a 1 TB hard drive (HD #1). I want to add a second hard drive of 2 TB (HD #2).
I have a SATA connector cable, but you need to know what SATA on Alvorix RS880 port plug in. There is a white SATA P2 next to a P1 blue SATA to which is connected the current hard drive (HD #1). Is SATA P2 the right port to plug the second disc (HD #2)
What I need to populate the second disc? If so, it seems that there are spare connectors which could be used. One of them is close by the power supply for hard disk #1. HD #1 is connected to a connector marked P4. P4 connector is divided (siamesed) another identical connector marked P5. The second hard drive (HD #2) must be plugged into this connector?
Kostas,
has worked like a charm. Thanks to a bouquet.

P6620: Installation of the second hard disk
How to install a second hard drive (4 t) of my HP P6620? I opened the box and there is no extra cable for adding disks hard disks/CD. Two slots used for cables are currently being used by the installed hard drive and a CD player.
Hi @jdrabourn!
Since all SATA ports are used at the present time, you can go with a SATA multiplier in order to have more drive connected to your PC. Plug you it in to a single SATA port, but limited all disks to the SATA speed (for example 4 discs on a 6 GB/s aura port 1.5 Gb/s limit each). This is different from a RAID controller because controllers allow a potential speed on each disc while the multiplier limited all disks to the single port speed.
Regarding the cables, you will need additional in order to connect additional HARD drive.
Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
See you soon!

Good so I took the lead when writing my original post on how to combine the two computers successfully.
Not enough research, no question, just a little say aloud... Sorry about that.
http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/HP-Pavilion-slimline-s3505f-amp-...I had little time today messing with both ' puters and discovered...
They need a good cleaning and had.
The noise of the Presario is indeed the fan on the radiator, it's just old and tired. Who cannot be strong in a music room; new fan may not be too expensive.
So I decided the Presario is my starting point.I would add the hard drive of the Slimline as slave; they have different connectors tho.
(1) if I just unplug the V2000 CD reader (that has the straight plugs) and use them to connect the second hard drive will I just lost my CD player? It is very good.
(2) what parameters of rider (if any) do I need to have on each disc? Do not see outside the car Slimlines.I looked closer 2 slots for RAM and noticed that beside them there seems to be 2 places in addition to the Board of Directors, unused with no present holders plastic.
(3) is it possible to add more slots and double the RAM? I would get 8 + GB and a 64-bit system end by ;~)
Neither office seems to have the ability to run 2 monitors as is. No problem 29 "should do for now.
Can't see a way to take the card out of the Slimline wireless and put it in the Presario. Internet not immediately necessary, hard connection cable always an option.All the other tips and advice on how to optimize my sytem are also welcome.
Thank you for your time and helping an old guy handyman.

The image below is a diagram for your motherboard. You have enough SATA ports to be used for the second and even a third hard drive.
