• XPS8500 mSATA iii, HARD drive disk SATA port?

  I have a XPS8500 Office with 2 SATA iii HARD drive currently as the only player to. I bought a 1 to Samsun Evo 850 to replace the HARD drive (the HARD drive has only about 600 GB used, so it should migrate completely without problem). Ports SATA 4 deep 1 SATA ii and SATA 0 and mSATA ports are the only SATA iii ports, I would move the existing 2 TB HDD in a location empty in the cage with the SSD drive in the location of the SATA 0 port. Ideally I would drive the HARD drive using the port mSATA to keep capacity SATA iii. Is there an adapter that will allow you to it? In other words: an adapter to change the architecture of the port mSATA connector to allow a normal SATA cable connect the port for a SATA drive.

  There are adapters to convert a port mSATA on the motherboard in a standard SATA 3 port to a HARD drive. If you google around you can find them, for example this one.

  Remember that I do not specifically recommend (or not) this map or this provider. So shop around to find what fits your needs and your budget.

  Also, I have no idea how that these adapters are working (or not).

• PowerEdge 2900 on board sata ports

  I have a PowerEdge 2900 server and would like to put in a single spare 2 TB SATA for additional storage (non-critical).  The motherboard has two onboard SATA, A & B ports.  When I try to connect the drive onboard SATA ports, the BIOS does not detect anything, and when I change the type 'Auto', save the settings and restart settings are not stored in the BIOS.

  I don't know if the SATA motherboard ports supports hard drives, or if there is other reason things do not work.  I tried different cables and tried the drive in another computer, and everything works fine in another computer.  Plan to put in some additional SAS drives in the drive box, I'm looking for an intermediate solution.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you
  Josh

  I've seen this same problem and fixed it. He must go to "Shipped" in the bios and enable "Onboard Sata".

• Can I use the SATA port connected to an optical drive to plug in a hard drive?

  I have a Pavilion e9270t desktop, Win7 Pro SP1, and I want to connect 3 HARD drive to the motherboard. Can I do this? Can I use the SATA port connected to an optical drive to plug in a hard drive?

  Thanks, CHemming

  CHemming,

  I've not seen UEIF support in the existing BIOS.

  If your demand on a 3T led, re - consider a maximum of 2 T.

  If you ask to have 3 hard disks, then you can do it without harassing the present cable of CD.

  The cage of your system hard disk will support 3 hard disks. Manual upgrade service

  All you need are the SATA data and power cables. Your Board has 4 SATA data ports.

  When you report back after inspecting your system for SATA power cables, I will move the cables and adapters, if necessary.

• Can cling to the blue SATA port on the Mobo for optical drive SATA HDD

  Studio XPS 435 t/9000 Office

  Service Tag:

  This box has the following motherboard in it.

  There are (5) SATA ports on the internal motherboard.

  SATA3, SATA4, SATA5 - black color code, I (3) HARD drive connected 3,4,5

  The blue color SATA2 port is open

  Can I connect a 4th HDD SATA blue SATA2 port?

  Or are the blue SATA ports only for optical drives

  It will cause some problems if I hang a 4th HARD drive SATA2 port blue

  Hi rgadawg,.

  Welcome to the community.

  Blue SATA2 port must be compatible to connect to another hard drive. He should not ask any questions however, Studio XPS Installation Guide Page 57 under specifications says he has three bays for hard drives SATA 3.5 inch disk.

• HP Pavilion a6667c: HP Pavilion a6667c, install the HARD drive to the SATA port

  My question is: is it OK to install a hard drive extra (in this case, my old laptop drive) in one of spare SATA ports on the motherboard? My first two is taken over by my first hard disk and the optical stock.

  You can add the disk as a data disk. This tray will work. Data cable  

  The power supply should have additional Sata power lead.

• Add additional SATA ports

  I have three hard drives in my XPS 9100 (start + two storage drives). I've been threatening to install an SSD , which would replace current among the hard disks. I have also two optical drives. Who uses all five SATA ports.

  Ideally I would like to leave the HARD drive that is currently installed and reformat the drive for additional storage, but the issue of SATA ports and supply connections arise.

  I could do this by installing a PCI-Express card like this:

  StarTech.com 2 Port PCI Express controller card PEXSATA22I internal SATA II

  and using a divider of power like so?

  StarTech.com 6 SATA Power Y Splitter cable adapter - M/F in PYO2SATA

  Note: I would connect the SSD to a SATA port on the motherboard (not map).

  They attract very little energy, so it shouldn't matter.

• Sandy Bridge (mobo Cougar Point) on p6780t - which SATA ports?

  There are 6 SATA "ports" in my HP p6780t, and I understand that only four SATA II (Rev 2.0, 3.0 Gbps) ports that are affected by the problem of recall of Cougar Point.  On the motherboard, I see four SATA connectors to real (labeled ports 1-4: blue, white, clear, and orange, respectively) and two empty spaces reserved (ports 5 and 6).  Anyone know which ports are ports SATA III (Rev 3.0, 6.0 Gbit/s)?

  Since I do not plan to use more than two connectors, one for the hard drive and the other for the optical drive, I would rather identify the ports assigned to go through the hassle of return computers.

  For clarity, I will use the physical labels located on the motherboard.  (Physical tags are turned off by how they are numbered in the software and in the diagrams).

  According to the usefulness of Gigabyte and patterns, both good SATA III ports are those who is physically marked 'SATA 1' and ' SATA 2 "- these are two ports, turned to the side to hard drives and are dark blue and beige and white color respectively.". "  Out of the box, all you have to do is to move the connection from the DVD of the 'SATA 3' (light blue) port for the "port SATA 2."(beige/blanc) ".   Cable is a little tense, but there is just enough length to it.

• Memphis-s SATA ports

  I have a Pavilion of 500 - 205t with Memphis-s motherboard.  It has 4 SATA ports with different colors.  What do the different colours mean?  Is there a documentation available for the PC that describes this?

  Thank you.

  Hello again,
  
  Yes, the paper suggests so.
  But if you have just one hard drive that it doesn't matter at all.
  
  However, if you have several hard drives connected, you must use port 0 for training with the operating system installed on.

• Lenovo g550 20023 HDD SATA port type of model?

  Hello

  I want to change my HARD drive, because it is broken and I need more info on my laptop Lenovo SATA port (G550 model 20023). I need to know if it is of type 1 SATA / SATA-150 or so is SATA II / SATA-300.

  Also please tell me if it is possible to upgrade to an SSD? Thank you.

  For all those who need this info: this is a port of type SATA II.

• HP ENVY 750-115no: add extra SATA port

  I would like to expand with one or two SATA ports to connect additional hard disks.

  Tested a PCI controller card, but it has been discovered at startup, or by the operating system. Having checked that the PCI slot is enabled in the BIOS settings.

  Question:

  Which controller card will work? Any suggestions? I could order one of HP?

  If you just need a data reader, use an external USB 3.0 to Sata Drive enclosure.

• Which of my sata ports should I use?

  I have this hard drive [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00471G8CC/], but I want to make sure that I use the best sata port. My office is the CQ5720F, here is the link to the plug to motherboard [http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02552467]

  He says I have sata 1 and 2 under 'internal connectors' but I have 4 sata ports. That's the problem, I don't know which one to use. Currently, I have it plugged into one marked "Sata 3. What should I do?

  Thank you, Travis

  The specs are incorrect. All 4 SATA ports are the same and are SATA2.0 ports. I doesn't really matter which port you are using, but I put the main hard drive on #1, secondary hard drives on #2 and #3 and the CD/DVD on #4.

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

• XPS 8300 SATA Port multiply

  This motherboard supports a SATA Port multiplier? I would like to add an external box with more than 1 SATA drive.  If this is not the case, what is recommended?

  Thank you

  Its sata not sas No.  Motherboard: DX58SO2 Chipset X 58 Express/Intel ICH10

  System requirements:

  Your motherboard must PM port multiplier support.  The 8300 is not working.

  The ICH10R does not support port multipliers, you need a card with a Silicon Imaging SIL3124 or controller 3132 or some JMicron controllers.
