(Redirected) INTERPOSER missing Alienware 17 2nd hdd slot

Hello, I have an Alienware 17 I bought last summer. What I've read the secondary hard drive slot was to have all the necessary things for adding a 2nd hard drive. It has the caddy (casing), extra screws, and the sata slot upwards, but doesn't have the leap card that is used to connect the drive to the sata port. I saw a YT video where someone with the same configuration as me (750 GB hd + 64 GB ssd caching hd) had the caddy, inserter, AND all that he saw.

Is there anyway to get a bumper card sent me Dell because he had a part that should have been included in a whole new system?

    Hello

    Maybe you don't see the second HARD drive connectors because the phone does not support the 2nd HARD drive?
    Not all laptops even if the 2nd HARD drive Bay is available, support two hard drives.
    Laptops come with different hardware and different motherboards, but with the same coverage
    So the bays for HARD drives are available, but the motherboard does not support the 2nd HARD drive interface.

  • I can add a 2nd HDD on my Satellite A300 - 02c?

    Hi all

    I wonder if it is possible to add a 2nd HDD in my A300 - 02c?
    There is a HDD 2 slot, but no sata connector on the card (see the link to the image).

    http://www.NotebookReview.com/picture.asp?f=36752

    I wonder if it is possible to add the connector (by myself or by the customer service).
    If anyone knows if it is possible and where can I buy the sata connector... Please leave a comment :)

    Adrien.

    I think that there is nothing you can do about it.
    Satellite A300 comes with several different hardware configurations and several different mothers. Really, I don't think that you can add it in addition.

    FYI exact nearest maintainer contact authorized Toshiba and ask for help.

    If anyone has any experience with this stuff then the Toshiba service technicians.

  • Pavilion 17-G084ca: Y at - it a 2nd HD slot in the Pavilion 17-G084ca

    Just bought this new laptop, like it a lot, only concern is the somewhat slow HD, want to add a SSD hard drive, so need be sure that there is a 2nd HD slot before I opened the cover, seems that it is not easy to open for this model LOL...

    There is only one hard drive Bay. See the manual here:

    Manual, p. 36

    It is not an easy task to access the hard drive Bay, but can be done. An SSD would be a valid upgrade and is probably a requirement to have a usable on these models, but the process computer is probably best done by an experienced technician. The warranty is a problem. If the computer is messed up in the process HP will void the warranty but if you remove the guarantee still applies.

  • 2nd memory slot PC portable HP 2000 bf69WM

    I bought 2 of these laptops for my daughters and they say there are 2 slots for memory.  When I pop the cover on the back, I see that the a slot that is currently busy.  For the life of me I can't find the empty location.  Does anyone have a diagram to show where is this elusive 2nd slot?  I don't think I need to remove the back cover together.

    Thank you

    Hi, Dave:

    Here is the link to the service manual for the PC:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03550054.PDF

    When I look at the picture in Chapter 3, page 14, I see what seems to be two modules of memory superimposed to another, which may be why it is hard to see the second slot.

    Chapter 4 presents the R & R of the procedures for the memory modules.

  • Can I install a 2nd HDD in my Satellite P200 - 10 c?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P200 - 10 c that I want to spend with a 2nd HARD drive. I called a Toshiba representative who told me that my model does not support another HARD disk. But then again, why she has a place at the back of the laptop for a 2nd one?

    Could someone tell me if it can be used to host a 2nd HARD drive.

    Thanks in advance
    Gerardo

    Hello

    What say if they said you model laptop does not support the second HDD while you can not improve with second HARD drive.
    The user manual which can be downloaded from the Toshiba page says that this option is only available on several models of the p200 series. But it seems that your notebook does not support!

  • dysfunctions of iMac early 2008 2nd memory slot

    I tried to upgrade my iMac in early 2008 by adding a 2nd memory card in slot 2 with a correct map of OWC. also badly hit by installing Apple's original card for slot 2 & OWC in slot 1. When a card is installed in slot 2 the hard drive just repeatedly whirs & stops in quick succession. I tried the compressed air for the eruption of dust. Either card works well in location 1.

  • 2nd HDD to E540

    Hello

    What hard drive adapter I need to use to put a 2nd hard drive to my new E540 (replace the DVD drive)?

    I found these:

    http://shop.Lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/gbweb/LenovoPortal/en_GB/catalog.workflow:item.Detai... (ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay fit III)

    http://shop.Lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/gbweb/LenovoPortal/en_GB/catalog.workflow:item.Detai... (12.7 mm of ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay fit III)

    Neither an E540 compatibility lists.

    So which HDD adapter I need to use and where can I get that (preferably in Finland/Europe)?

    I have the OneLink dock, so I could use external hard drives, but I need to also have the 2nd internal HD.

  • DV7-3085DX 2nd HDD Bay

    I have a look at my DV7-3085DX and see that there is a second HDD Bay but no connection to connect a 2nd internal hard drive.

    Is it possible to add connectors & turn on the 2nd hard drive Bay? If so how can it be done?

    Also, I noticed that connections exist inside for a tv tuner, is it possible to use this connection?

    Any help or answers greatly appreciated.

    At least the drive and theoretically Yes Yes on the tv tuner even though it is expensive. You need the module and a special cable. I can't find the part on the internet or on this site, but you could maybe call HP or even look on ebay. Here is the part that you need to add a second drive. It's the caddy and a connection cable.

  • Satellite Pro 4600: 2nd RAM slot inactive - how can I activate it?

    Hello!
    A few days ago, I bought a Pro 4600 opportunity with 2 x 128 MB of RAM. Two of them are working - but not together! Only the slot A working and accepting both Rams when I insert them. The user who I bought the laptop told me that they worked before it was erased from the system.

    How can I activate it?

    Thank you very much in advance,

    Flo.

    Hello

    It s not necessary to enable the second memory slot.
    After you have installed the memory module slot should accept the module and it must be shown in the BIOS.
    The two modules of work in the first place. In this case, both are ok and not in default. It is also possible to upgrade memory 256 MB.
    Well, in my opinion, the second slot memory is dead.
    Unfortunately, there is nothing to see :(

  • 2nd HDD on the Qosmio F40

    Thanks in advance...

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure, but I think the HARD drive slots are placed at the bottom of the unit.
    The first HARD drive Bay must be placed at the bottom near the edge of the front face.
    The second span could be placed near the battery

    I found the specs of the laptop here:

  • Lenovo G560 2nd RAM slot does not recognize.

    Hello.

    I bought 2 new of the straight plug of this computer - 1066 mhz 4 GB of Ram.

    After the installation of the 2 jacks, the computer recognizes only 1 card of 4 GB.

    I have the x 64 bit system.

    Also, I updated the BIOS.

    What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Tal_Eklkanar,

    Welcome to the community,

    Try restarting the machine with only the ram that is not recognized at the time.

    RAM can be tricky so try to play with different configurations, a place in the first slot and then swap until you see the machine recognizes them both. Sometimes, it just takes a little game.

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP laptop - 15-ay038no and I want to add a 2nd hard drive. This model supports an additional hard drive?

    I have a conector next to the CPU which is empty (wired Ribbon).

    It is not an installed optical Bay.
