Qosmio G50 - 13R - add second HARD drive

Hello

I want to upgrade my computer.
Here are the numbers:

Product name: Qosmio G50 - 13R
Product version: PQG55E-05C04RFR
Product series number: 89063721H

I have space for a second hard drive, but it is empty.
No caddy, no connector.
But the Intel Rapid Storage detects an empty 4 internal port.

How to check what is the port?

I did some research and found a document on the substantive content of my computer. It says there is a connector on the motherboard for a second hard drive, here are a few references in the document:

CN1920 2nd SATA HDD (20 PIN) interface connector

Is that the motherboard of my computer (see reference above) has the CN1920 connector?
How verified?

Greetings.

There is a 2nd HDD bay because in the past, the Qosmio G50 is out with support for different hardware specifications and different hardware parts and obviously 2nd HARD drive Bay does not the HARD drive cable/connectors.

The Intel ICH9M South Bridge supports 4 integrated controllers serial ATA Host, so the chipset should be able to handle 4 devices SATA (2 x HDD, 1 x ODD, 1 x eSATA).

I searched on the internet a bit and discovered that the motherboard supports two controllers/connectors.
The first HARD drive must be connected to the CN1900 connector SATA (23pin) and the 2nd HARD drive must be connected to the CN1920 (20pin). The STRANGE is connected to CN1910 (13pin)

However, I think that it will not be very easy to update this unit with a 2nd HARD drive all must be dismantled and of course, you need compatible parts for these updates.

    Hello

    All parts can be ordered from local authorized Toshiba maintainer.
    Here is a page with all FSA available worldwide:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

    But even if there is a 2nd HARD drive Bay, you must check if the Bay contains the HARD drive connector.
    The fact is that not all models are equipped with the same motherboard, but with the same substantive coverage that contain 2nd HARD drive Bay.

    By the way: what you need is a kind of drive bracket HARD 2.5 ". Something like [this | http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/images/TOS-X505%20sm.jpg]

    Thank you:

    You need to replace the DVD player with hard drive Bay series adapter (if you have a SATA drive, the new drives are SATA)

    Here are the codes for this product:

    FRU:26R9246

    P / N:26R9247

    This adapter works on T41 machine. Make sure you check if the card works on R50 I am not sure about this.

  • 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 second HARD drive to HP ENVY 17-j171sa Leap Motion TS SE Notebook PC

    Hello

    Recently upgraded to SSD as HDD1 in my notebook using cable sheet etc. of 'newmodeUS '.

    All the stable and works well, so I installed a second HDD (which I know works well) but the laptop does not see.

    I even installed the drive HARD original as HDD2 but same problem

    I cannot find any relevant info on diagnosing this problem, but I was wondering if this model (jump movement) may have a second internal HDD

    I don't see anything in the BIOS on this topic

    A point to note is that I had to remove a plate of maetal that was installed in the drive Bay HDD2 - possible is not designed to accept?

    Thank you

    Following my last, next time I checked the disk Dirves in Device Manager, there was my Toshiba 1 TB as well as the SSD.

    Quick format in humans of disc and it is in place and works very well!

    Not too sure what happened here, I left the disks with the cables 'Swapped' in place and just to prove that everything is OK I swapped the cables back again an everything is OK (the original cable is now in HDD1 port with the SSD and the NewmodeUS cable is HDD2 port with the other disk from Toshiba.

    So now I can use my 1 TB of extra storage as well as storage faster SSD - Hallelujah!

    I also always the player original HGST I cloned the SSD at and could use again if the SSD fails or corrupt.

    Thanks to all who have helped me on this one

  • 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

  • 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".

  • 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.

    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.
