sata connection

I just got a new HP Pavilion Phoenix h9xt. I add a second optical drive and 2 hard drives from my old computer. The current configuration on the new computer has the HDD in sata 1 and the current optical drive in sata 2. Should I sign added in 2 and 3 sata hard drives and drives 4 and 5 sata optical? It is a raid configuration will be added hard drives for storage. Thank you, John

Hello

Is this HP HPE h9 - 1150t your PC?

To avoid any problems with the addition of two extra hard one drives an additional optical drive.  The specifications indicate room for three hard drives and two optical drives.  I can't say for certain how much power pre wiring has been done, but I suspect that the power is there for the extra optical drive and a second hard drive. You may need to use a power SATA Y for the third hard drive adapter.

Two edge (1 and 2) SATA connectors are SATA III so I use hard drives SATA III and place the optical drives on SATA II (3-6) ports.  You may need to revise your order of boot device in the bios to ensure that it reflects your wishes.

  • Is SATA connection of Thunderbolt format?

    Thank you

    The disc includes probably interface SATA (as most of the records for the use of the last 10 years) for you connect to the speaker.  Regardless of how the case is connected to the computer (USB, FireWire, lightning, etc.), it will always display the SATA connection type because it is the physical interface of the hard drive has on it.

    I don't know how the interface bus relates to the question with the backup software.

    What connection between the HARD drive and the motherboard are inside: SATA II or SATA III?

    It depends on the chipset.

    As I'm not mistaken the chipset could be the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset

    According to Intel ARK page of the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset supports SATA II (3 Gb/s)

  • Windows problem with hard drive changed from IDE to SATA connection.

    After a full rebuild (new MB, CPU, graphics and RAM) and install the new copy of Windows 7 Home, everything is great, until I try to connect an additional internal HDD. The boot and then crashes to the windows logo. Additional HARD drive is SATA, but it has already been used on an IDE connection.

    The bios recognizes the drive, but obviously, there's some kind of conflict in Windows (I think the reader can contain a backup of the previous generation system).

    System;

    MB ASUS M5A97 R2.0

    CPU AMD FX6

    Gskill 8 GB of RAM.

    Any ideas on how to fix the problem please?

    Thanks, Chris

    Usually means a player has failed/problematic

    You say sata drive but used on a connector IDE does that mean you are using a cable converter, because the type of interface is completely different, or do you just mean the parameter for the connection of the bios?

  • SATA on Tecra S11 speed

    Hello

    I'm looking for a tecra S11 sata connection speed.
    I want to replace my ssd for the greater and I was wondering if I could win something when I buy a sata-600 drive instead of the sata-300 that I use at the moment.
    I use an OCZ vertex II now (120 GB)
    I would go for the OCZ vertex 3 (256 GB), but this one has connection sata-600.

    will this work? and the sata-600 enjoy my system?

    Kind regards

    Luke

    > I would go for the OCZ vertex 3 (256 GB), but this one has connection sata-600

    SATA 600 means SATA III standard that support the theoretical 600 Mbps transfer speed

    SATA III is backward compatible with SATA I and II.
    So you can use the SSD 600 MB/s (SATA revision 3.0) in connection with SATA I and SATA II. But of course, the speed would be limited to these standards.

    AFAIK the Tecra S11 supports SATA 2.5 Rev (gen 2) which means that it is SATA II limited to 300 MB/s

  • HP Pavilion s7210n card mother SATA compatibility

    Hello

    I have a question on a motherboard that is installed in a PC HP PAVILLION of Slimline s7210n, purchased in 2005.

    This is all the part # and other information that I could see on the motherboard:

    PTGV-LM
    N13219
    C58S198-00877-60-MBL3A2-A04

    The original hard drive is SATA 1 (1.5 Gb/s).  I would like to replace the original HDD with a SATA 2 (3 Gb/s) HARD drive.

    The motherboard has 2 entry SATA connections.  The connection that is not used is labeled "SATA 3" on Platinum motherboard.  I think that it is a 'SATA 2' port and model of PCB plate refers to the speed (3 Gb/s) since SATA 3 (6 Gb/s) is only available in 2009.

    This PC was purchased in 2005.

    A SATA 2 HARD drive will work with this motherboard?

    Hello:

    A SATA II HARD drive will work, but only at the speed of 1.5 transfer in this PC.

    That's all the 915 chipset can handle.

    The port numbers are only of numbers, not of speed of the sata drives.

    You plug certain devices into ports with some numbers.

    For example, you would plug the bootable hard drive into port 1, port 2, a DVD in the 3 port high school.

  • Satellite A665 - Rull due refund issue SATA

    Hey there,
    I could really use some advice.

    I have a Satellite A665-S5184 - ordered the United Kingdom, the United States. (cost of £600 + tax £230 and deliveries... so it was a good deal for me)... However...
    Today I received an email from Toshiba that says that my laptop is affected by a defect in the design of the chipset intel and I need to send him to the United States for a full refund. The design flaw means the connectors for devices sata connected (for example, my disk drive HARD or Blue-ray), can be in degraded mode and stop working over time.

    At the moment my phone works great!
    And the thought to send him to the United States... lose 230 lbs I invested + on an another £230 to return it... make my stomach turn.
    Will open here tomorrow from 09:00 assistance centre only and I will try to get their advice, but I was hoping that someone will be here some previews...

    See you soon

    Hi Jacoby,

    I think your laptop is already Intel Sandy Bridge CPU so it s affected and has a problem with the SATA connectors. You can read about this problem on every site computer I think but you know he s not a question of Toshiba, it's a problem of design of Intel.

    In any case, you should talk with your local authorized service provider. Your laptop is an American model, so I m sure that everything can be clarified with US guys. They can replace the unit you can get another one for free. :)

  • P6620f: Installation second SATA drive

    Motherboard installed: H-RS880-ALVORIX-ΜATX

    On two of the sata motherboard three plugs are in use, the other plug is white (S3) in color and I tried to use this one and no success.

    Windows hardware displays the hard drive, but it does not appear in the "Explorer".  I went into the CMOS in the hope that it would recognize the drive, but it does not appear there, the second time I rebooted the system, I get the following error "Master disk failure".

    I also bought the PCI Sata card only to find out it does not fit this motherboard.  According to the info on the motherboard, it must be a PCI-E x 16 connector, and I have not been able to locate one with a sata connection.

    What should I do to use the white sata connector?

    Thank you for your help.

    H ALVORIX-RS880-ΜATX has 4 Sata headers.

  • H50-55 - is my motherboard SATA 2 or 3

    I have a new Lenove H50-55 (just a couple of weeks) and I wanted to add an SSD to it.

    I would like to know if my SATA connections are SATA 2 or 3.

    I downloaded an application called CPU - Z that tells me that the number of brand and model of the Board of Directors but (AFAIK) don't tell my if it is SATA 2 or 3.

    What I know by using CPU - Z is that my motherboard is a Lenovo Bantry CRB 31900058 STD

    Maybe you know?

    Mod edit: System model added to the subject line to improve visibility / clarity

  • Negotiated SATA speed

    O.P.

    Hello.

    Try to establish if the optical SATA connection on an iMac in early 2009 will achieve 2 SATA speed of 3 GB with a 500 GB SSD crucial MX200. Have already tried a Sandisk ultra 2 with controller Marvell and only got a negotiated speed of SATA 1 which is 1.5 GB.

    Speculation on the Internet is the optical connector is limited to 1 SATA but when I go into system report that it shows that the port is capable is SATA2, but negotiated to SATA1. Don't want to destroy this iMac again until I am sure that it will work to speed SATA 2.

    Thank you

    The SATA connection in optical Bay is SATA 3.0 Gb/s. It is likely that your iMac is a Nvidia MCP79 SATA controller that will limit some SSD speeds 6 GB/s SATA 1 speed. The conflict focuses on Sandforce technology and the Marvell controller apparently uses Sandforce. Your is the second instance of the problem with a Marvell controller that I answered last week. Return the SSD for a refund and get a Samsung or go to OWC and get one of their 3Gb http://eshop.macsales.com/ SSD

  • Impossible to activate the hard disk SATA card mother Asrock G31M-GS

    I have a desktop with the motherboard Asrock G31M. This is IDE and SATA connections I was using an IDE hard drive, I want to now put to update to a SATA drive.

    I spend on the computer, it starts at the BIOS and when it should start windows or ask for the installation disc, it goes back to the Asrock start page and freezes.

    The DVD player is detected, but which is connected to the decision-making of the IDE.

  • can I add a sata dvd drive to foxconn mcp73m01h1

    Compaq sr5450f products kj383aa #aba, {Personal Information deleted} - map mother foxconn mcp73m01h1 receiver has the sata connections 4 four. I guess I can use one for an additional hard drive - but I also use one for a dvd rw sata drive?  The original dvd drive pci sata wasn't. I think that I need the data lines. Am I wrong?

    You are the very welcome.

    Normally, you add the second hard drive to the adjacent sata port where the primary had disk is connected and the DVD player goes into the port sata above the main hard drive.
