• I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?

  I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?  Somewhere in the 320 to 500 GB range and I want a quick unit because it will be used for rendering videos.    Thank you for your response.

  Hello

  How fast is fast is the real question.

  Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

  Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

  Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

  Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.

• Add the second hard drive for HP Pavilion dv7-3173nr

  So rumor is my DV7 may take a second hard drive.

  So I got a second drive, open the bottom where the reader will, and there is no SATA connector. Apparently I need a shopping cart or something, but I can't. Am I missing something obvious?
  
  Thank you.

  Yes you need a shopping cart and a connector. The interface is not a standard SATA plug... There is a cable that connects the SATA drive in a small plug in the second Bay.

• 2nd hard drive for HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Notebook - what do I need?

  Hi, I have the HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Select Edition Entertainment Notebook (product # WV703AV). It can accommodate two hard disks but only came with one. What would need to be able to install the second hard drive? I need just a connecting cable or I also need to caddy or kit?

  Also, would I get a solid state? My laptop that would support or should I just use regular?

  Currently, I am on Windows 7 64-bit. I have a 500 GB hd (which came to be partitioned with hp tools/restoration).

  Help with what I would need to a conventional hard drive or ssd would be greatly appreciated. I tried to look through messages of others first, but could not find anything specific to my model. Thanks for your time!

  Hello:

  The only place I know where you can get a 2nd hard drive kit is that provider.

  http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&products_id=345

  Your laptop should be able to work with an SSD, but I can't guarantee it.

  I don't really see any point in adding an SSD unless you make the main hard drive, and to do this, you must get an SSD of the same size as the original 500 GB hard drive to use the recovery discs to reinstall the operating system.

  Most people get smaller SSD and they use the W7 product key to activate a simple installation of W7.

  If you can read all 25 characters of your product key for windows 7, you can do your own installation media and allows to install Windows on a smaller than 500 GB SSD.

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• Adding a new hard drive for HP Pavilion 15-E016TX

  I own a HP Pavilion laptop 15-E016TX... n I was wondering if I could add an additional hard drive...?

  it dosent matter if its ssd or the regular disk... I neeed jst little more space

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  There is no space for a second hard drive somehow "ordinary". There no second SATA slot as in the Pavilion 17 inch models or for a smaller drive of WSSD mSATA as in the Envy series. The only way to do it is to remove the optical drive (DVD burner) and install a second drive in an optical drive adapter device. Your laptop uses the slim type optical drive (9.5 mm) and this device would not work.

  https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

  See Page 47 of the manual for instructions to remove the existing DVD player. It is very easy. You can exchange your façade above so that no one could say that the laptop has been changed. I almost never use my DVD burner on my laptop, anyway. But I also never fill my hard drive. You have it fills a terrabyte? You cannot unload some of them to an external drive or the cloud?

  If you do, just put a hard drive into the adapter and plug it in. The seller, jacobsparts, also sells portable hard drives and would be happy, I don't know to send you both in a single shipment. Disclosure full jacobsparts is in my hometown and I bought some stuff from them years but have no interest in the company. They are good people, I can testify.

• How can I add a second hard drive for my dv7-3060us?

  Hello

  My laptop was getting slower and slower, so I did a restore default via the recovery partition, and when it restarts to start reformat and reinstall back to factory condition, I got a message on the screen telling me to run the hard drive test. Did it and got error 303 and 305 messages. Restore to preset works however, after doing research in the error codes I go account, I'm for a new hard drive.

  My laptop is a HP Pavilion dvd6-3203TU with WIndows 7 Home Premium installed. It currently has a disk 320 GB TOSHIBA MK3265GSXX HDD in it.

  After reading the forums, I am pleased to see that my recovery disks will be reinstalling everything on a new hard drive and partition a C: drive and also the recovery partition. The main issue I have is my new drive hard must it be 320 GB in size as the original or to buy something like a disk 500 GB + for the laptop. If I have to replace the hard drive that I can as will increase size while, if possible i.e..

  It must also be a Toshiba or I can buy another brand?

  Eager to help regarding this I thank you in advance as

  Your laptop is listed as coming with a 320 GB hard drive, but you can install just as easily a 500 GB or 750 GB HARD drive if you want more space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop - you are in no way limited to a particular manufacturer.

• Adding 3rd hard drive for HP Pavilion Elite m9250f

  I have a Pavilion Elite m9250f running Windows Vista Home 64 bit. The computer currently has two 500 GB hard drives for a total capacity of 1 TB. I would like to add a third drive to increase storage capacity.  I have a SATA to 2 to and cables. When I tried to install the new drive above the two existing disks, he did not slide smoothly. When I removed the already highest reader, I could slide the new drive into but the screws are not line up properly with the new drive. This leads me to believe that I can not install a third drive in the Bay. Is this a correct assumption?

  I have an available expansion Bay below the optical drive but am not sure that it is usable for a hard drive. If the use of the expansion Bay is possible, do I have to buy a hook or how to mount the drive in this space?

  If necessary, I can copy the data from the secondary drive on an external drive and replace it with the new drive. However, I need confirmation that the secondary is the player in the foreground of both in the hard disc enclosure.

  Thank you for your help.

  If the task under the existing optical Bay is open, just use an adapter to fill the space and to mount the drive in there.  Make sure of course that there is a power cord and a SATA port.

  Hello

  Through 2, 24, 41-43 page in this manual:

  You can put 3 SATA, they are backward compatible with SATA 2 HARD drive also

  Size: 7mm or 9. 5 mm compatible

  You must purchase additional hard drive support (number of HP 720237-001) to second hard drive.

  Replacement procedures are included in the manual. It is relatively easy to install. It will void the warranty if something goes wrong due to replacement by you. Contact HP service center for help.

• Recommendations for a second hard drive for my Inspiron 530 please

  Hello

  I have an Inspiron 530 standard.

  My main 320 HARD disk drive is approaching full and I want to add a second internal HDD.

  My intention was to use the new drive as a secondary drive just to store and edit photos.

  Can anyone recommend a compatible drive about 500 GB in size I can use.

  Can you tell me if there a SATA drive that I need, recommended speed (RPM) and I'll need to get all the connectors etc.

  Thanks in advance for your help and advice

  Assuming you have the Inspiron 530 mini tour and not Slimline 530 s version.

  You can install any SATA 3.5 "internal hard drive 7200 RPM up to 2 TB without problem.

  Discover the brands Seagate and Western Digital, also check the length of the manufacturer's warranty, unfortunately hard drives prices are extremely high, due to the flooding of the Thailand, readers, I bought last September for $40 with a promo, now costs $108.

  Instructions for the installation of a second hard drive physically in a 530 are here.

  You will need a SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

  After you have installed the drive, enter the system setup and make sure the hard drive is "on" [We] and recognized.  The system configuration.

  For windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned and formatted. Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management, right click on the new drive, select format, then you can assign a drive letter.

• Second hard drive for 7100

  I have a 7100 Studio (Studio Athlon II X 4 630 (2.8 GHz) + ATI Radeon HD 5450 1024 MB, 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM, 1.5 TB Serial ATA 2 hard drive) and I would like to add a second hard drive.

  I would like at least one other 1 TB - is there an upper limit on size?  And are there other tips, installation tips I should know.

  Thank you for your help.

  kgturnbull

  A second 1 TB SATA hard drive will work well in the Studio XPS 7100.

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

  The procedure for installing a second hard drive in the 7100, is HERE

  Tip: Open the case and check that Dell provided the disk 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.

• Second hard drive for the dv7 - 7047cl

  Can a second hard drive be added to the dv7 - 7047cl?

  (It is standard drive is a 1 TB of HARD drive).

  If so, how?

  Thank you!

  Hi Mike,.

  You are welcome

  There should be no problem with Bios recognizing the 2nd HARD drive, however it may not appear in Windows (under the Start Menu, computer) until the drive has been formatted.

  You can format the second HDD as follows.

  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.  Right-click on your new HARD drive and select Format to start the wizard.  Windows 7 will affect a Volume label so if your happy with it, just leave the default.  File system is NTFS.  Allocation unit size must be left by default.  Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done.  Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.

  Once this done, your new HARD disk should now appear when you look under the computer.

  Kind regards

• Which hard drive for my Pavilion s3714uk?

  I ran a diagnostic check on my desk s3714uk and reported ' error BIOHD-8', which seems to mean that my hard drive may be failing, now my question is this - what disk hard if I replace it with?.» At present, it is equipped with WD3200AAJS-65B4A0 Ata device. I'm out of touch with the latest technology, but I see that the drive on which is installed doesn't have the wide ribbon cable I served in all these years, it's the last kind of connection or a particular type?

  Or if I just ordered from a retailer - WD3200AAJS-65B4A0 Ata device would be this surface. ?  That of all, hope you can help, best regards, Peter in the United Kingdom
