• 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.

• Envy 17-J111tx: second hard drive for the Envy 17

  I really want to add another SSD or HARD disk. My question is what size should I buy and it would be compatible with SATA 2 or 3? I will void the warranty of my mobile during installation it?

  Hello

  Through 2, 24, 41-43 page in this manual:
  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091762.PDF

  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.

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

  I am very short of space on my originally installed HP 500 GB hard drive and need more storage space. I have a new Seagate 750 GB drive, 7200 RPM and I would like to install it. When I opened the folder to access the second hard drive compartment, I was blocked when I have not found any pre-installed connector. What should I do to install this player?

  Thank you!

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• HP Envy 17 K2Z68AV: Adding a second hard drive for HP Envy 17 K2000 Series notebook PC

  So, I have been looking around for more information on adding a second HDD/SDD in my model of laptop computer on the web, but can't find anything on my specific model. Many places say K-series laptops have only one hard drive Bay, and that you use a hard drive caddy optical Bay. Moreover, I found videos of very similar models being dismantled, which seem to have only room for 1 hard drive. However, I was told to support twitter HP want all 17 have 2 hard drive slots. Can I get a confirmation, just to be sure?

  Hey @MrMdr,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!
  
  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your Notebook HP ENVY - 17 t - k200 CTO, model #K2Z68AV and concerns with the second span. Looking to 256 GB SATA m2 (MLC) that could be used for storage only. It is a hard drive, but it fits differently than the main hard drive. Hereis a link to your manual page 2 which shows the specifications.

  It shows you how to install this on page 68 of the manual.

  Please let me know how it goes.

• 2nd hard drive for my E521?

  I have an old Dell Dimension 4100 boxed on the floor with a 40 Gig drive sitting in it.

  I thought I should put it in my E521 for a little extra space.  But I've never had two hard disks on a PC before and I don't know how it works.

  I've changed hard drives out before so I think that iam is able to do this swap out.

  Will it take any additional wiring to connect the 2nd hard drive?

  The drive installed windows and has a few old files...  It will work just like that, or need to be defragmented?

  If somone could you tell me what steps to take to change the drive from PC to PC, that would be great.

  
  

• Second hard drive for the Envy 17-1181nr Options

  Hello

  I have an Envy 17-1181NR. I just replaced the hard drive yesterday, that the original 750 GB disc had errors. I put a 1 TB drive to replace the original, and everything works fine.

  That said, I would like to put an SSD in the 2nd to speed things up. What are my options on GB for disc 2. Can I use this disc 2 as my first (with the OS on it)?

  And other issues, I'm not asking?

  Thank you!

  You can use SSD as boot disk make sure just the OS partition is smaller than the ssd.

• Second hard drive for HP pavilion laptop solutionn

  Hello:

  I got a Pavilion dv7-4173us laptop in ealy December 2010 a few weeks ago...

  I also want to add a 2nd drive hard because I can't use the first hard drive

  for LINUX.

  All 4 primary partitions on the first hard disk is already used by HP to the following partition names:

  (C) windows, HP_TOOLS, RECOVERY, SYSTEM.

  I don't understand why HP has to exhaust all primary partitions.

  Most manufacturer only use towing.

  they could have put their tools and recovery files in a partition or combine withSYSTEM partition

  It seems that they do not want to support the Linux community...

  If anyone knows what primary partitions can I remove safely from the first hard drive, that would be great.

  In any case, the reason why I'm posting this is to ask if you successfully add a 2nd interal hard drive to the computer laptop dv7.

  I looked att he manul and it show where I can stable the 2nd hard drive.

  IMPORTANT observation:

  However, I notice the connector on the motherboard for the 2nd drive hard is not the same as the

  first hard drive. I also noticed there is no need of rails to support the 2nd drive hard because it it ca be mounted with a hard drive are the first screw.

  I hope that is not a connector owner.

  I would like to know what your HP solution?

  I spent about 4 + hours with HP tech and sales and still did not get a response...

  Service very poor customer... very bad for business.

  Maybe we need to know about... the Linux community bad customer service
