The Ultrabay HDD detection.

Hello

I recently bought a hard drive adapter Ultrabay 2nd for my T60p and a Seagate Momentus 7200 (ST9250421ASG) and problems with the detection and hotswapping.

Currently, the hard drive will be detected only when the disk is in the Bay during the cold start. If I swap the drive when the machine is running, it will not even turn up. The two HDD LED turns on and remains on until I swap the disk again. Since the drive is not spinning upwards, I'm guessing there are problems with providing enough power. I can swap in the optical drive at any time without problem, even after Exchange entry and release of the album "dysfunctional."

Using the same card, I tried a Hitachi drive which worked flawlessy.

This problem is currently the point moot hotswapping for me.

I * now have a solution.

(a) I added a rider to limit the hard drive to SATA 1.5 GB/s interface speed (this may be unnecessary). For my drive, it's the pair half size of pines.

(b) I installed a firmware update I found the dells support page - making cross-updates to date with the firmware is dangerous, that's why I hesitated. If you decide to try it, good luck. If you find yourself with a brick... I warned you

The revision of the car passed under SD13 to 17 for me. This is the second time a seagate hard drive has failed me. I avoid them now.

What I discovered in the meantime, problems as described in my original message can result from power a) management issues (as I suppose here), b) passes records (need to unlock before being accessible - linux a hdparm for this) or speed c) SATA interface quirks (which need a rider to force them to 1.5 GB/s drives.

I wish you good luck with things that I discovered the long way

  • UltraBay HDD off the power when idle

    I have three drives: WSSD, HDD, HDD into the ultrabay slot. I think this takes its toll on my battery. My first HARD drive is often used because it has my files "Downloads\Firefox & uTorrent". However, my second HDD has only music. Is it possible she's automatically power off when I'm not playing the music of this drive?

    Thank you

    Shane.

    Which OS are you sporting? If WindowsXP or Windows7, install Lenovo Power Manager and configure your desired 'spin-down' for your HDD Ultrabay times. If you are athletic Windows8, LPM is not available (although some people reported that they were able to install in compatibility mode 'Windows7' LPM), open the Control Panel, power (IIRC) and configure your desired 'spin-down' for your HDD Ultrabay times.

    Hi all

    I have a 500 GB 7200 RPM hard drive I bought Lenovo and a hard drive caddy that is the thin (so there is a slight gap for those who are curious) on the thinkpad t510. what I was wondering is I dualboot on it (linux on the 500 GB) and I'm wondering if when I use windows, is the second hdd always get protected against shocks and other potentially dangerous damage of active protection system which is present for the hard disk which is preinstalled on your laptop

    Based on marketing materials, it seems that the UltraBay has this feature as well.

  • Do need me an adapter for the new HDD in Tecra T9100?

    I try to install a new hard drive (Toshiba 456 X3I89209S S/N this.) A, 40 GB). Need me an adapter or a framework for that?
    The HARD drive has no adapter, just the usual PATA pins.

    Your new HARD drive is a 2.5 or 3.5?
    Only 2.5 hard drives will fit in a laptop.

    However, you need a HARD drive connector to use the HARD drive in the laptop.
    But if you remove the old HDD there is already such a connector. Remove this connector and put it to the new.
    That s all and then you can use it.

  • Qosmio G30-161: can not see the second HDD in my computer

    Hello
    can someone tell me, that I rebooted reboot DVD in my laptop to restore all of the windows in the normal settings
    as I got when I bought the laptop.
    but for some reason when I go into my computer I do not see the 2nd HDD.

    There is only one disk c it but not the other hard drive. I need to change the settings of smoke to see the 2nd hard drive?

    Hello

    Well, the Qosmio G30-161 should be delivered with two hard drives of 60 GB.
    I guess you can see a single HARD disk due to the RAID settings.
    The unit supports RAID technology.
    I think that the RAID is on the mirror. This means that the data is duplicated on both disks.
    Generally, it should be possible to disable the RAID.
    Check the folder utilities Toshiba.

    PS: It is possible that you will lose data after changing the RAID settings. Be careful.

  • How to check the Toshiba HDD for the failures and bad sectors?

    Hello

    I didn't really know where post this so im sorry if it's completely irrelevant to anyone, but I have an Alienware laptop and they can not help me (I know what your what to think he done here then?) so I was wondering if anyone knew a software that allows me to check the Toshiba HDD for bad sectors and failures etc.

    I used Hitachi Drive fitness test, but it will not help other that say there are critical and even with the seagate software, all mistakes two loading floopy. It would really help, and I couldn't find anything on the part of the customer support site. The answer probably lies with Alienware, but I can't contact them by phone right now...

    Thanks Khaloi.

    Hello

    The easiest way is to use the Windows operating system error checking option.
    Please go to the "My Computer", right-click on the drive and choose Properties.
    In the 'Tools' tab you will find the error checking. Here, you can mark them automatically fix file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

  • How can I install the 2nd HDD on my Satellite P200 - 14H

    Hello
    I want to know, how can I install the 2nd hard disk on my Satellite P200 - 14H and what I have to buy, because when I open the 2nd hdd slot, so I don't see anything about what I could add the 2nd disc

    Thanks, Filip

    Hello

    Maybe you don't see the second HARD drive connectors because the phone does not support the 2nd HARD drive?
    Not all laptops even if the 2nd HARD drive Bay is available, support two hard drives.
    Laptops come with different hardware and different motherboards, but with the same coverage
    So the bays for HARD drives are available, but the motherboard does not support the 2nd HARD drive interface.

  • Satellite A305-S6843 - recovery disk anli Does the second HDD too?

    I have two TRUE separated different hard disks inside (200 GB each).
    I got to a point where I have to start all over again... If I want to use the recovery disk, that I had with the laptop. but then I get into a stage where I can choose "erase the hard drive.

    My question is: will it erase ONLY the reader of the OS (c :))? or also in the other drive (d :))?
    I have a lot of files in the second drive, I want to keep.

    Thanks in advance,
    Ofer

    > Recovery disk does not erase the second HDD too?
    MOM restore disk will delete all data and partition on the first HARD disk.
    All the data saved on the second HARD drive are safe and will not be affected.

    I have Satellite Pro P300 with two hard drives and I tested it several times.
    If you have important data on the first disk HARD just moving to the second HARD drive and install the OS by using Toshiba recovery image.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 and the second HDD bay

    Hallo, I want to install a second internal HDD to hdd2 Bay, but when I opened the Bay I noticed that it is not all connectors installed.
    So, what's the point of a second drive Bay hard if there are no connectors inside?

    Hello
    The point of this Bay is, IF you buy a model with a second equipped HARD drive then there will be a connector, but if bought a model with a SINGLE disc fitted then you just need a drive since the connector to the second HDD was not soldered on the motherboard of your model.

    Easy and simple. If you want to have a second drive, then you must either:

    -solder a connector for the motherboard which causes your warranty and does not mean that you can use a second drive since you will need the appropriate BIOS Rom
    -buy a USB - HDD and accept your situation :/

    That's all.

  • I need to connect the second HDD in Satellite A300-14V

    Hello!

    I'm using A300-14V and now I need to install the second HARD drive. But 2.5 hard drives have different heights from 9.5 mm to 12.5 mm including a right for my Satellite A300? And I'll need to also buy a slide.

    Could someone please clarify that she is and give me the part number?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    Did you check if your laptop is able to manage the second HDD?
    I mean there is a second HARD-drive Bay, but have you checked if there is a connector needed?

    You should check this first before you buy hard drives

    But I can't change my KING.

    -simply by selecting the property KING will give nothing unless you draw something in the indicator of the image. For example, when you select the tool KING and draw something so the return on investment parameters will be passed to the property node.

  • How to hold the safe HARD drive in the Ultrabay HARD disk adapter

    http://0RZ.tw/hCi4T

    One of the things that I like most my ThinkPad is the Ultrabay. The Ultrabay is by default occupied by the optical drive, but the optical drive can be removed and replaced with a hard drive adapter, a battery or a serial port/parallel adapter. The question always seems not to exist but the disc adapter hard ultrabay is fit to several models. When I insert the ultrabay adapter in my R400, I found that there is little space between the ultrabay and the computer. It is annoying because you have to worry about dust. But the biggest problem is, HARD ultrabay drive adapter could not hold the HARD drive safely! As the photo above, I show the adapter and the HARD disk is connected and hold by the junction! So if submit you adapter to a lot of movement, the drive connector can easily get damaged. Is there a solution to help?

    Hi, the drive HARD Ultrabay adapter is designed for the drives own Lenovo coming w metal a little "shopping cart" mounted around the disk hard with four screws. The adapter is slightly too big. Unfortunately Lenovo does not have shopping cart available as a spare part for use with non-Lenovo disks. In this thread a seller in the United States is listed by selling the caddies and my positive experience with him.

    Of course the caddies made US make unnecessarily expensive. It would be great if you could find a supplier selling these carts located in your geography at a more competitive price. Be sure to post your experiences here, if you manage to find one.
