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 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.

  • Tecra M10 - 17U use second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD

    Hello

    I try one of this popular box that allows me to put a second hard drive in the Bay optical slot, I use a Sata to Sata adapter, so there is not really an adapter and more properly connect:

    [http://www.akasa.co.uk/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Enclosures&type_sub = 2.5%20Enclosure&model=AK-OA2SSA-BK]

    My problem is with the BIOS Toshiba waiting for a STRANGE device in this Sata port and cams out with a "CD" error, disable the Sata port.

    I have a workaround, if I start the PC, BIOS after with what this either in the Bay of the STRANGE, after Windows starts, I have insert the second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD, go to "Windows Device Manager" a 'check for changes on the hardware"and voila, the second HDD works fine , for me, it shows a limitation in the BIOS.

    Y at - it assistance, a Beta BIOS or something else, I have the latest BIOS 3.00 for this machine installed.

    Please check this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=39412

    It seems that Tecra M10 does not support a select bay that would allow you to use a 2nd HDD rather than the ODD.
    As far as I know select bay is compatible with the Tecra M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, S1, S2

    I suppose that space is available, but I would like to know whether the connector is here & all
    I could just open the case and plug it in.

    Thank you

    In the document s user manuals I have not found something on HD upgrade so I m really don't know if this will be possible.
    Anyway, as Jeka wrote, remove the HARD drive cover and check if there is place for second HARD drive and also necessary SATA connector.

    I have older 300 x and there is room for two drives.

    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.

  • 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.
