• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

  Thank you

  PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

  Hey,.

  If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

  As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

• T410 fails to wake up from his sleep with the installed 2nd hard drive?

  Since I installed a second hard drive in my T410, a 250 GB Hitachi drive, my machine can't seem to wake from sleep (sometimes)... So, I have to do a hard reset.

  I had the same problem without the 2nd disc when I tried to use the HD password in BIOS and discovered that it was something to do with the disc Crucial M4 I use. But this same problem happening now since using the 2nd disc slot.

  Any ideas? I really like the extra storage space and won't remove based on this problem.

  Well it seems that the problem was caused by the version of the firmware for the SSD I installed it.

  The problem has been solved by updating the M4 Crucial SSD with the latest firmware...

  .. .and it solved the HD1 password issue too.

  Hello

  That s just to change the BIOS settings in the BIOS!
  I think that the BIOS settings are placed in the last page of the BIOS (3).

  Try setting the 1RAID-0 on the first HARD disk and the 2RAID-0 the second HARD disk.

  It worked well on my laptop.

  By the way; information on the RAID configuration found in the user manual.

  Have a nice day ;)

• Want TS 17 J140us: Laptop computer only supplies not on after adding 2nd HARD drive

  This laptop has an option for a 2nd HARD drive.

  I installed 2nd HARD drive and the laptop does not light.

  When I remove the 2nd HARD drive it is normal again.

  I'm guesing that a special BIOS change is needed to allow the reader to 2nd.

  Anyone know what is the solution?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Success!

  I think it was just plugging in the cable needed to be reinstalled.

  I confirmed that the drve was good with an external cable.

  I made the stop while holding down the SHIFT key.

  Once it did not work.

  Then I took out the cable and put it back making sure to he went in the port exactly how is HDD - 1.

  This time, he appeared in the windows Device Manager. I already made the partition, format, assign the drive letter.

  Everything is good to go now. I'm glad, that I have a lot of storage space on my laptop.

  Thanks for the suggestions, have a nice day.

• 2nd hard drive install on pavilion dv7-3060us 17.3 inches with Quad core processor

  Pavilion dv7-3060us computer has a 2nd hard drive Bay.  On 2 flags of 17.3 inches previous, I installed a 2nd HDD.  This quad core Pavilion is much thinner than the previous pavilions;  the underside of the computer has also a centre piece in the form of "T" in the Panel without screw - is a pop on the access panel or the entire bottom panel needs to be removed through the perimeter screws?  Still trying to find a manual showing this particular case - no luck so far.  The downloaded HP

  Manual for the previous dv-7 is for the case of style like unless I missed something.

  Install an SSD soon - would like to have all the "stuff" to install a 2nd drive hard if possible.  Anything I should be aware of before perform this procedure?  Don't really want to remove all the merits of the case.

  Thanks for any help that can be provided.

  DP - K

  I appreciate the help.  The Caddy is the same that I used before (on the 1st dv7) the 2nd dv7 used the direct taking of 90 degrees into the adapter.  I have both of these me more allotted a 500 GB HD.  All I need pickup is the SSD.

  The "T" sign on the back of my case has no screws - but I can see the 3 component tabs snap at the top of the "T" through the small crack on the case.  These are shown on the exploded view of repair.  I'm projecting from the 'snap-out' Panel down on the vertical leg of the "T".

  Once again; Thank you

  I'm considering buying an SSD for my computer HPE - 257c.  However, when I opened the box, I find no cables or cards that would allow me to add a 2nd hard drive.  I intend to use the SSD for the OS and programs and use the old (original) hard drive for data, etc.  I don't know how install the SSD drive and recovery disks allows you to reinstall the operating system on it, but what I need help on is reinstall the hard disk as a 2nd drive.  Any suggestions?

• How to use the 2nd hard drive internal for storage?

  Hi, I am a newbie in all of this. I would use the 2nd internal hard drive of our mac mini server (end 2012) for storage (in fact, I'll things rsync from a remote server to here. but this is not the point here.). The thing is, I don't know how to access the 2nd internal hard drive and where to start. I did all of the following commands in the Terminal, but I don't really know what they mean, and what can I do with this information. I've been Googling but most are guides on how to install a 2nd hard drive etc. I hope that the information below is enough for someone to give me advice please?

  Thank you!

• HP Envy 15-ae104no: install the HARD drive

  Before burning I would want to know if it is possible to install a sata 1 TB of disk as a 2nd hard drive in this PC.

  Thanks in advance.

  What about Peter

  @Viper9

  I'm not sure at 100% but with other models of HP, I saw that they did not come with the extra cable or caddy.

  Hard disk hardware kit (not shown, includes support for HDD and screws) The hard drive connector cable is available by using the spare part number 812697-001.

  812686 001

  Looks like you need to buy.

• 2nd hard drive in Satellite Pro P200

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite Pro P200.
  Anyone know where I can get an advance and a shopping cart to install a 2nd hard drive?

  As far as I know your laptop can be improved with the second HARD disk if the SATA connector is available.
  When you remove the HARD drive to the second HDD can you see it or not?

  I have the Satellite P200D with place for second HARD drive, but there is no connector HDD SATA upgrade is not possible.

• Satellite P500-12D adding 2nd HARD drive

  Toshiba UK say it is not possible to install a second drive in a P500-12D.
  The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  I was also told that the second drive Bay could not be used "on the model" but the sata connection is there and inserts brass threaded in the case of the scree of the carrier are present.

  The Bay is deeper than 1 Bay (for the thicker > 500 GB drives and, therefore, the support unit for the 1st Bay can be used - entire centres are also different.)

  Ideas for a work around?

  Sorry for the spelling mistakes - my original message would not be accepted "your message contains profanity or inappropriate language.
  In the interest of your fellow forum users, we ask you to change your message.
  "but no indication as to where." Maybe it's that the things happening in the threaded inserts are not allowed

  Peter K

  > The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  The reason is that there are different configurations of P500
  The P500 and other series of Toshiba laptops are equipped with different motherboards.
  Not all motherboards support 2 HARD drive controllers.

  This can be a bit confusing for someone buying a laptop and see the second HARD drive Bay, but if you would remove the 2nd HARD drive Bay cover, then you will see that there is no HARD drive connector.
  This means that you will not be able to use the second HARD drive.

• How to check if the 2nd HARD drive is possible on the Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7?

  Hello

  My A200/PSAE7 has a 200 GB HARD drive. For backup reasons, I would like to know - or learn to know how check - if my A200 already have the hardware support for a 2nd HARD drive, next to the slot for a 2nd HARD drive.
  In the BIOS, I see 'Toshiba MKxxx - hard drive' and 'hard drive - None '. Is the last entry in the BIOS is a sign that a 2nd HARD drive is supported and has to be put in the second location of HARD drive?

  Thanks in advance for any answer!

  Best regards
  Andreas

  You can do the following:

  Open the cover when the 2nd drive HARD so-called must be installed and check for some SATA connectors or cables. If there is an unused SATA connection so you can upgrade, if no, then you will need to backup your data on USB - HDD or whatever.

  If in the BIOS is something now, he won't say that he is physically present.

• Discs of recovery, or vanilla Windows Installer on Q770 and 2nd HARD drive

  The Qosmio Q770 need to reinstall windows,

  At thining use the disks of recovery, or just vanilla win 7 and then add drivers, I need.

  issue with recovery disks it will affect the 2nd hard drive because that's where all my data?

  Thank you

  LoonyT

  In my opinion, you must install Windows using the original recovery disk. It is much easier and you do not install all the drivers, tools and utilities. All this is included in the recovery image. After installation of recovery image simply configure OS and you can remove applications that you don't need.

  I force test but I m pretty sure second disk will not be changed, just the main hard drive so your data must be secured. You can make backup anyway.

  (2) my HP warranty is cancelled if I buy my 2nd hard drive and install on my own?

  Thank you!

  BH

  BH098, welcome to the forum.

  I don't think you can install a second hard drive.  In the case, here are the bays of units:

  Size Bay bays Total

  13.33 cm (5.25 inches) ODD	1
  8,89 cm (3.5 inch) HARD drive	1
  * Berries can be occupied by existing material.

  One is occupied by the HARD drive and the other by the DVD recorder.  If you want to add a disk, I suggest buying a USB 3.0 external drive.

  If you have installed a second hard drive, he would not cancel your warranty.
