• You attempt to add a 2nd hard drive

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE 510 t. I try to add a 2nd hard drive. The 2nd hard drive is a Toshiba 1 TB 7200 RPM 6G.

  Accordingly, the 1st HDD was plugged on SATA2 and the CD-ROM was connected to SATA1. It worked and it started ok.

  I added the 2nd hard drive, plugged on SATA3, went into the BIOS Setup and it has not even see SATA3.

  I then plugged the CD-ROM on SATA3 and the 2nd hard disk on SATA1 and lit, is went into the BIOS config amd saw 2 hard drive and a hard disk 1, it did not see the Wired CD SATA3. Then I tried SATA4-nothing.

  I have advanced and partitioned and formatted the hard drive into two partitions 2 and recovered the data from a backup on each partition.

  It works very well, with both devices, but nothing I have connect SATA3 or SATA4 is recognized by the BIOS.

  Can someone tell me why? is there a jumper on the system board or a setting in the BIOS that turns on SATA3 and SATA4?

  Are my bad SATA3, SATA4?

  I've seen the specifications for hard disks. He is said to use a 1 to 3G 7200 RPM. IS the fact that I use a 1 to 7200 RPM 6 G the cause? Even with the hard drive 2 disconnected and hard drive 1 SATA1 or 2 and SATA3 or 4 CD, it does not yet recognize the CD-ROM drive.

  I tried to pass autour SATA data cables, but it has not changed. Anyone know why the system will not recognized the connected CD-ROM SATA3 or SATA4?

  Or whatever it is well plugged SATA3 or 4? I can run both hard drives, but then I don't have a CD-ROM drive, or I can run a hard drive and a CD-ROM drive, but not 2nd hard drive.

  Any suggestions? I know choose IDE used to have to set a date for the cable, but I don't think that SATA requires that.

  Am I wrong?

  I bought a $70 ServerSupply.com motherboard, succeeded him and it solved the problem.

  Someone here even suggested, but me. I forgot what email I signed up for this site.

  I have a HD 1 TB there already comes with the system. Add 2 to 7200 RPM SATA 3.5 "HD which is available on the Dell site and make a total of 3 TB? I thought I read somewhere that my office is designed for a maximum of 2 TB. 3 to work always but maybe just a little more slowly?
  You can also the 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.5 "HD would work, too? I ask because my office is not listed in the compatibility for this particular HD list.

  You will need to buy a SATA data cable, there should be an additional power supply connector into the drive case.

  The procedure of installing a second hard drive in the 7100, are here:

  FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_studio_xps_desktop/Studio-XPS-7100_Service%20Manual_en-us.PDF

  Tip: Open the case and check that Dell has provides the drive for additional hard drive cage.

  Once the drive has been installed, check the configuration of the system, including the SATA port, it is connected, turned on [on] and the hard drive is recognized.

  So for Windows recognizes the additional drive, you must partition, format and assigned to a drive letter using Windows Disk Manager.

• 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.

  There is a review of YouTube mobile of that same computer laptop and it shows a 2nd HARD drive installed and working.

  My BIOS boot order does not list only 1 of 2 separate HDD shows primary and secondary diagnostic tests.

  My BIOS is very, very basic and is not very many options.

  Would be - that the problem be attributed to the speed (7200) faster or the power supply to the new HARD drive?

  The service guide says that you have a hard drive configuration 2 x 320 GB 5400 RPM, but I don't think that the speed must be at 5400 RPM. However, the speed of the two drives should be the same I guess. As 2 x 7200 rpm or 2 x 5400 RPM...

• Dimension E310 will identify the 2nd HARD drive

  I am trying to add a 2nd HARD drive on my Dimension E310 (WinXP Media Center Edition 2005) without success.  I bought a naked WD10EZEX and 1.0 TB SATA cable and have physically installed the drive and connected the power cable from Garland.  SATA data cable is connected to the SATA-2 port.  When I go into the BIOS settings, the original boot drive 80 GB is recognized but the second disc of 1.0 TB is not.  I turned on the port, but the disc ID says 'unknown '.  If I spend two readers autour, the first hard disk (CT 1.0) is recognized but the second disc (the original 80 GB) drive ID: unknown.  BIOS is version A03 (08/10/05).  What I am doing wrong or do I not have a defective SATA-2 port?

  Hi, Osprey4.  Thanks for your suggestions.  I tried to connect just one drive at a time for the second SATA port, leaving the first open port and got the same results.  No disc has been recognized.  I chose to not reset the CMOS.  It seems the second port does not work.  I can accept and manage with just one port I have available with the larger HARD drive.

  Thanks again for your support.  I'll mark this thread as "resolved".

• Adding a 2nd HARD drive to my 9270 t-cable included already?

  I would like to add a 2nd HARD drive to my t 9270.  I jumped the cover and am fishing around, but I see no alternative power SATA cables.  I see what the data looks like spare cables transfer and I see spare power cables, but they are not SATA interfaces.  Before you start unscrewing stuff to dig deep or purchase cables that I may not be no need, I thought I'd post here.  Every computer I've had in the past has spare cables, at least enough to add a disc more than what came with the basic config.

  9270t comes with power and spare data cable so I can add a SATA HDD, or I'll have to go buy more?

  Thank you!

  Ross

  Yes, you will need another sata data cable.  Power is Prewired do not buy data cables.

  Here is the motherboard of your PC. It has sata ports 4 four in the lower right corner.  Two are on the edge and two vertical.  The black and white image layout will give you the numbers of labelling and the ports.
