  The only upgrade to the office, is that it is now running Windows 8 32-bit Pro. The second disc (E is the original disk of 320 GB.) What is the most big hard disk (in GB or TB) can I put in to replace the secondary hard drive (E?)  The BIOS is running with the delivered version.

  Most SATA drives should work in the system, so, basically, any capacity will be fine.

• P6620: Installation of the second hard disk

  How to install a second hard drive (4 t) of my HP P6620?  I opened the box and there is no extra cable for adding disks hard disks/CD.  Two slots used for cables are currently being used by the installed hard drive and a CD player.

  Hi @jdrabourn!

  Since all SATA ports are used at the present time, you can go with a SATA multiplier in order to have more drive connected to your PC. Plug you it in to a single SATA port, but limited all disks to the SATA speed (for example 4 discs on a 6 GB/s aura port 1.5 Gb/s limit each). This is different from a RAID controller because controllers allow a potential speed on each disc while the multiplier limited all disks to the single port speed.

  Regarding the cables, you will need additional in order to connect additional HARD drive.

  Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

  See you soon!

• Pavilion t770.uk: ADDING a SECOND HARD DISK

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion t770.uk desktop PC. According to the manual, there is a dual Bay HARD drive space, which means that a second HDD can be mounted also on the original HARD disk. Data ATA series and power wires are there and there is space at the back of the HARD drive for an extra HARD drive cage, but he doesn't seem to be any fixing points to hold the HARD drive safely. HARD drive existing slots outside the cage and is held in place by a plastic locking support, but no such support or fixing holes are there for a second HDD. Can anyone help?

  See pages 10-15 in this manual:

  Manual

  This shows how to add a second hard drive, with or without the cage.

• Is Satellite X L855-10 supports a Bay for a second HARD disk drive

  10 - L855 X have an empty slot to add the SSD drive, without removing the current HARD disk?

  Hello

  In my opinion, the 2nd HDD or SSD disk is not supported.
  You can use the HARD drive, or you can try to replace with a compatible SSD 1 TB HARD drive. But the use of HDD and SSD drive to one and same time is not possible.

• Installation of a second HARD disk (slave drive) in an Inspiron 3646

  Can I add a second HDD (a slave drive) to an Inspiron 3646? It's a new I 3646, he replaced one consumed. I managed to save the hard drive and I would like to install it as a backup drive/extra storage.

  I can't find any technical information on the Dell website, no patterns or the FAQ.

  There are two bays 'open' on the rear of the case. It allows to install the reader?

  There is no cage attached to these berries or inside the case. Workaround is to make an external hard drive and plug in usb, but would rather put it in the box.

  Any suggestions? Thank you.

  Is it possible to remove the optical drive and replace it with a second hard drive?  This needs no additional hardware?  He would support a 3.5 or 2.5 "hard drive using this method?

  sdxm

  Yes, you could.

  There are two 5.25 "x 3.5" and 5.25 "x 2.5"Bay of converters available, probably 2.5 HD"would be the best fit, but you have to find a 5.25" virgins for the collar. [page 34].

• w540 replace the cd for a second hard disk drive?

  Hello

  I ordered the thinkpad w540 last week. With a dirve normal hard drive and a CD compartment. I figured out after the arrivied to the computer I got a solidsate inside my xps 15 hp.

  In the best of cases, I would replace the CD drive, as says the config in the web page in timeline option could be done. How could I know if it is possible to replace the CD player with another hard drive?

  Otherwise I would try to replace the original disk for the solid state hard drive, but in this case I loose windows system 8. Is is possible to install again in the new hard drive with the same license?

  I was wondering just because it would be nice to keep the drive inside your computer instead of having to plug it in all the time, due to the faster speed, it would be good to use is as the primary dirver.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hi, Jorge

  you will need an adapter "caddy" to house the second HDD/SDD. Ch right here in the forum, see http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?location=forum-board%3AW_ThinkPads&q=caddy... .

  For my W540, I use the caddy of http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=555 and have a very good experience over the years (W510, W520, W540...).

  Regarding replace drive HARD original with SSD, there are basically two possibilities - either you use the recovery option (create your own media - see google or trying to get a Lenovo - not sure it will work) or use a transfer software. I have used for years Acronis products, especially because it acknowledges the SSD and aligns everything as it should on SSD (won't go now too deeply in the alignment of industry and to this day).

  And if you want to run your W540 on steroids, alias max possilbe storage capacity, see my signature...

• To replace the DVD drive with the second HARD disk on the pavilion DM4-2000

  Hello

  I would like to remove my laptop DVD drive and replace it with an SSD. It seems that the DVD player does not use the standard format of pins SATA for hard drives, rather than use a slightly smaller connection. Is it possible to connect a laptop SATA drive this in any case and if so, how?

  Any help appreciated,

  Tim

  You need a car adapter. Your laptop uses 12.7 mm optical readers and you need this card:

  https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-01/

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See Page 45 for replacement instructions.

  You place the additional hard drive inside the adapter, then swap the front to make look it good.

• Add the second hard drive

  I replaced a faulty computer with a second hand replacement. Both are programmed with XP and the same browser. I installed the HDD in the position of the Tower slave, plugged the cable and Ribbon secondary and put power cord.  The computer does not recognize the additional hardware. Y at - it an easy way to simple transfer of data to the new hard drive, or is there a way to access the second hard disk drive so I can use the computer program?

  You have misused terminology in this issue, so it's a little difficult to determine what your problem may be caused.

  What do you mean by "the computer does not recognize the additional hardware?  Only shows drive in disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)?  If the player appears in disk management, but not in my computer, you may need to use disk management to assign a drive letter.

  It seems that if you want to take the faulty computer hard drive (in condition, of course, was not the hard drive itself which was defective) and put it in another computer.

  There is no such thing as a "slave of the Tower position."  Likely, you just put the old drive into an available drive Bay.

  Generally, the 'secondary' water is used for optical drives - not a second hard drive.  Usually, if there is only one hard drive, it is connected to the connector at the end of the water and the second hard drive is connected via the connector in the middle of the cable.  The cable connected to the primary IDE connector on the motherboard should be a 80 wire cable, while the other may be a 40 wire cable:http://www.mikeshardware.com/howtos/howto_connect_ide_hd.html

  When you have 2 drives connected on the same cable 80 wire, one is the 'master' (the one linked at the end of the cable) and the other is the "slave".  You specify the drive to this topic, what you are doing by correctly setting the jumper on the pins at the rear of the car.  You set the jumper on a 'master' and the other as 'slave' or two disks can be set for "Cable Select" If both support this and you have the special cable Select "Cable".

  However you connect, you must make sure that the drive of the old computer is defined as the slave drive, because you do NOT want to start from this installation of Windows.

  The foregoing assumes that both drives are the older IDE type of walk.  If one or both are SATA drives, it is quite something different.

• Can I add a second HARD Satellite A200 - 10 X drive?

  Remove second HDD downstairs and check if the SATA connector is there. If there is no SATA connector for the second update of HARD drive with the second HARD disk cannot be done.

• Second hard drive on Satellite P200

  I have a Satellite P200-1IE with a 200 GB hard drive. And the case has "Colocation", another hard drive, but SATA connectors are not here :(
  I wonder if it is possible to insert the connector to attach the second HD.

  Thanks in advance for the help

  I agree with Joey.
  Toshiba designs and provides models of different laptops with different material specifications.
  All Satellite P200 mobile phones are equipped with a second HARD-drive Bay, but not all supports the interface and the second HARD disk controller.

  It of a bit confusing, but despite a second Bay HARD drive you will not be able to use a second HDD due to a missing on the motherboard disk controller.
