• XPS 8700 adding Second hard drive

  Hello - I bought recently for a XPS 8700 and I would add a second 1 to HDD - like this:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822148840

  This HARD - ST1000DM003 - drive looks identical to the factory installed HDD in my XPS 8700 - SCSI\DiskATA___ST1000DM003-1CH1CC47

  Is - this HARD drive identical or close to my OEM HARD drive?  That's fine with me.  I didn't need a lot of space - just need a backup disk.

  1.) do I need a HARD drive caddy any?  I did not open the folder again. I do not believe after looking at manuals online, but wanted to be sure.

  2.) these screws will work to set up the second HDD in the cage?

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817998092

  3.) cable SATA which should I buy?  Manufacturer, length, type, etc.

  4.) is feeding OK with respect to capacity with a second HDD?

  Thank you. !  Sam

  Update - I installed the internal hard drive, which I purchased from Newegg.  8700 XPS recognized the drive.  All I had to do was to format the drive.

  Here are the things I bought.  The XPS 8700 is equipped with a stand to hold the second hard drive.  Thanks Bev.

• What needs to install a second hard drive in the XPS 410 desktop computer

  I want to install an internal drive repaired as a second drive in my office, so I can recover the data. A few threads in this area and I see support. Would just need a SATA HD cable? The power cable would already be there?

  userx_076

  Requires addititional hard drive, a SATA data cable and a power connector SATA, the default XPS 410 has a SATA power connector power to spare for a second hard drive.

  You will need to buy a SATA data cable, probably a 24 "x 90 * [square] x 180 * right SATA cable, similar to the cable as shown here:"

• XPS 1730 do not recognize the second hard drive

  OK... so I tried a second hard drive to add to my XPS 1730 already installed. Well I went and got a 320 (160GB installed alread) 2.5 SATA internal hard drive in the laptop. The installation went well (or at least I think that's the case). However when that I start the laptop, the hard drive is not there (under the menu of the computer). I then rebooted the laptop and went into the BIOS and the BIOS sees the drive. The BIOS shows that my main hard drive is 160 GB and my secondary hard drive is 320 GB. Is someone can you please tell me what may be the problem. Thanks in advance for your help.

  P.S. I'm sorely need help I have will deploy to Iraq VERY soon and don't have much time to have access to the internet. Thanks again.

  
  

• 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.

• Qosmio G50 - 13R - add second HARD drive

  Hello

  I want to upgrade my computer.
  Here are the numbers:

  Product name: Qosmio G50 - 13R
  Product version: PQG55E-05C04RFR
  Product series number: 89063721H

  I have space for a second hard drive, but it is empty.
  No caddy, no connector.
  But the Intel Rapid Storage detects an empty 4 internal port.

  How to check what is the port?

  I did some research and found a document on the substantive content of my computer. It says there is a connector on the motherboard for a second hard drive, here are a few references in the document:

  CN1920 2nd SATA HDD (20 PIN) interface connector

  Is that the motherboard of my computer (see reference above) has the CN1920 connector?
  How verified?

  Greetings.

  There is a 2nd HDD bay because in the past, the Qosmio G50 is out with support for different hardware specifications and different hardware parts and obviously 2nd HARD drive Bay does not the HARD drive cable/connectors.

  The Intel ICH9M South Bridge supports 4 integrated controllers serial ATA Host, so the chipset should be able to handle 4 devices SATA (2 x HDD, 1 x ODD, 1 x eSATA).

  I searched on the internet a bit and discovered that the motherboard supports two controllers/connectors.
  The first HARD drive must be connected to the CN1900 connector SATA (23pin) and the 2nd HARD drive must be connected to the CN1920 (20pin). The STRANGE is connected to CN1910 (13pin)

  However, I think that it will not be very easy to update this unit with a 2nd HARD drive all must be dismantled and of course, you need compatible parts for these updates.

• Re: Satellite A300 - second hard drive

  Hello

  Perhaps some may say where I can buy hard disk for the motherboard conector?
  I have place for HDD and connections on the motherboard, but don't not have hard drive connector.
  Camputer are 1gn A300.

  Help, please!

  Hi Lotus

  Toshiba offers Satellite A300 with one or two hard drives with two different mothers. Plastic cover is the same for both models of laptops and that's why there are two disk HARD covered and placed two HARD drive. Laptops without SATA connectors are not ready for the upgrade.

  No one here in this forum has reported that these updates possible if laptop doesn t have original SATA connector to the second HARD drive, so I think that you cannot upgrade your laptop with the second HARD drive.

  By the way: it's not easy to find these parts.

• 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

• HP compaq 8200 elite sff: Add the second hard drive to 8200 elite sff

  I installed a second hard drive, but the system does not reqagnize it.  I connected the blue sata port.  Any help?

  Well shit, now I have to retype my response... I typed in Notepad, but it seems that I can't copy and paste into this box.

  I agree with DFBonnett, the second disc will only work on the BLACK, not BLUE light connector.

  The way I Win-10 to see the second drive was to go to the management of the computer, and then under storage, click Disk Management: the drive is presented as a disc 1 but not show the program explores until I received a letter from the disk drive... MAGIC, the player will now display as the letter assigned to the I gave him 'E' with a backup label.

  I tried what erico posted but has not worked, but I thank all of you who have tried to help.

  I give credit to Umbutu, he saw the drive without having to do anything myself.

  Hey Microsoft, look at what Linux can do... lol

• Satellite Pro A120 - Second hard drive on secondary IDE channel

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 xp sp3.
  I tried so it can recognize a 2nd hard drive on the secondary ide channel, but it will not. CD player has been removed and replaced by one of them, the with the pata to sata interface.

  [http://newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_27&produc ts_id = 245]

  The second hard drive is a 500 GB seagate sata drive. Drive is spinning and powered but not appearing is not in the Manager of management or storage device.

  In the Bio (uptodate), it shows me it but won't let me change it.

  The readers of e/s
  Built on the disk HARD = serial ATA port 0
  CD rom = secondary ide (170H - IRQ 15)

  For me, the material is able to support two HARD drives that you remove the cd player, but it seems that the bio is me locking out the deselection of CD-ROM on the second IDE channel.
  Please could someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem.

  Thank you
  Zander

  Hello

  I read this story carefully and to be honest I m not sure if a second HDD (instead of the STRANGE) can be used

  My knowledge the IDE second controller does support all the ODD (CD/dvd drive) due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
  I think it's the same case, why the second HDD is not recognized correctly

• Satellite A200-1 s 5 - can I use a second HARD drive and RAID?

  Hi all

  Toshiba Satellite A200-1 s 5 is eligible to add a second hard drive? It has RAID controller as much I know - it might help?

  Thank you
  Denis

  If you have a SATA connector in the second HARD drive Bay, you can use a second HDD. Check it!
  Then you can buy each disc HARD what you want with SATA port.

  The Satellite A200 doesn't have a RAID controller.

• Adding a second hard drive

  I have a HP Pavilion P6716F. The vehicle currently has a 1 TB hard drive (HD #1). I want to add a second hard drive of 2 TB (HD #2).

  I have a SATA connector cable, but you need to know what SATA on Alvorix RS880 port plug in. There is a white SATA P2 next to a P1 blue SATA to which is connected the current hard drive (HD #1). Is SATA P2 the right port to plug the second disc (HD #2)

  What I need to populate the second disc? If so, it seems that there are spare connectors which could be used. One of them is close by the power supply for hard disk #1. HD #1 is connected to a connector marked P4. P4 connector is divided (siamesed) another identical connector marked P5. The second hard drive (HD #2) must be plugged into this connector?

  Kostas,

  has worked like a charm. Thanks to a bouquet.

• Satellite L670-1CN - second HARD drive possible?

  Hello

  is it possible to add a second hard drive on L670-1CN? I would like to buy a laptop that has this feature to put an ssd in a second Bay.

  Thank you for your help.

  Hey Buddy,

  Why you n t answer that question yourself?

  If you have a second HARD-drive Bay, remove the HARD drive cover. You see a second SATA connector?
  If so, it is possible to use a second HDD, otherwise not because you can t improve it with such a connector.

• Second Hard Drive not recognized / climb (but it IS listed in the Device Manager)

  I have a HP Compaq DC7800 convertible mini tower running than Win 7 Pro 64-bit

  I installed a second hard drive, and while I can see listed in the Device Manager, it is not mounted.

  That is to say, it is not in the computer > field at all.

  The second hard drive is a Hitachi HDT721032SLA360 ATA Device

  Under the hardware ID, it is said: IDE\DiskHitachi_HDT721032SLA360___ST2OA38E

  I thought it was a driver problem. Device Manager indicates that it uses the Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 driver.

  I can't find a Hitachi driver for this player. My understanding was that this drive would NOT need drivers.

  I have it in the plug of P5 (I think it is P5, it's at the end of the cable with the primary hard drive) and I have a data cable sata from the sata port on the rear of the disc in the slot sata on the motherboard next to the slot in the place where the main in drive is plugged.

  The only sites that list the drivers for this drive are all spam (thanks, google) sites.

  What I have to change something in my Bios?

  Thanks in advance.

  If the drive is listed in the device but not 'computer' Manager, it must be mounted or a new volume must be created. Please see HP - partitioning and names of hard drives (Windows 7) for more information on using the Windows Disk Management Console.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Satellite A350-122 - how to install the second HARD drive?

  Hello

  I'm a french owner of an A350-122 (serial no: 39169719K)

  In the french of the manual user, page 1-5, it is written that it is possible to insert another disc hard, and on page 2-6, the rear of the A350-122 view shows a second branch on the left for a second hard drive.

  So, I bought an SSD Intel X 25-M to put in the second location. I opened the second location and there is nothing: no sata, no power connector connector, only a location empty.

  So, what's the problem with this Satellite A350-122?

  Thank you for your response.

  Hey Buddy,

  I agree with the user above. Not all Satellite A350 models support a second HDD. The point is that laptops are country specific products and this feature is not available everywhere. In addition, all models A350 by using the same notebook case in order to have a crack but no connector.

  In any case, you can use t a second HDD. :(
