  SATA III interface, a third generation of interface SATA 6.0 GB/s turns. The bandwidth rate, which is supported by the interface is up to 600 MB/s.

  SATA II specifications provide backward compatibility of function on SATA channels.

  SATA III Specifications provide backward compatibility to run on SATA I and SATA II ports.

  However, the maximum speed of the disk will be slower because of lower speed limits of the port.

• Adding 2nd hard drive for Inspiron 530

  I have a Dell Inspiron 530 which has a Samsung 320 hard drive.  I would like to add a second hard drive to put photos, etc.  Green a Western Digital 2 TB 3.5 "SATA looks like a possibility.  However, images, like most of the internal drives I saw pictures, he has one open side showing the drive mechanism.  The Samsung already in the PC is covered.  The additional disc will not become covered with dust (my PC had a lot of cobwebs in it when I opened it to the top!)?  Any advice on which drive to choose and how to install it would also be appreciated.

  dellby

  All computers must be inside the frame, cleaned all the dust on a regular basis.

  I have two HD SATA and SSD installed in my Inspiron 530 mini tour and have never had a problem of "dust."

  Keep the air intakes located on the façade behind the clean HD of any accumulation of dust, helps to cool the hard drives.

  Instructions for the installation of a second hard drive physically in a 530 are here:

  FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-530_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.PDF

  Will need you a SATA data cable, there should be a spare power connector SATA inside the case and four 6-32 X 1/4, Phillips head screws to mount the drive.

  Connect the SATA data cable to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

  After you have installed the drive, enter the system setup and make sure the hard drive is "on" [We] and recognized.

  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.

  Hard drives Western Digital and Seagate are good, my preference is for Western Digital.

  Also check the length of the manufacturer's warranty, plus the best guarantee.

• Update hard drive for HP Pavilion DV6525em

  Can Hello, please you help...

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion DV6525em entertainment with Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit Operating System), and I wanted to know:

  Can I remove the current 120 GB/5, 400 rpm SATA1 drive and replace it with a new 320/7 200 RPM disk SATA2 (room ST9320421AS code)?

  That have an impact on cooling my laptop, because I don't want to overheat?

  Otherwise, I install a 500 GB/5 400 rpm Disk SATA2 (part code ST9500325AS), which is the same as my 120 GB drive spin speed.

  What do you recommend?

  Also a SATA2 drive will work in my notebook?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  SATA2 is supported by the chipset you use. And it can work without any problem

  If you are worried about temp then ST9500325AS will be a better choice.

• internal hard drive for Inspiron 6000

  Someone has any suggestions where to find a replacement 60 DH GB or more compatible HD?

  The drive is parallel ATA - SATA not.  If you replace the drive with a larger than 120G, it MUST be parittioned and Windows must be installed UNDER the barrier of 120G.  If you install Windows on a partition that crosses or exceeds 120G barrier, you will one day put the chain on a disc read error and lose everything on the disc.

• Second hard drive Dell Inspiron 3847

  Can someone direct me for information on the installation of a second hard drive for Inspiron 3847 computer for the purpose of the image upwards using the Acronis True Image Home software upward? There is room for an optical drive, which is totally alien to me, but nothing is said nowhere in the hardware in the user manual on the addition of second hard drive that seems to be a pretty normal material adding. No sense in this matter. First time forum thank you poster

  toplap

  Dell has not released the procedures to install an additional SATA hard drive, the Inspiron 3847 has a 3.5 Bay ", one for the second hard drive next to the main hard drive, there should be a set of rails located in the Bay, two 6-32 X 1/4, Phillips head screws are required to secure the Rails.

  Procedures on pages 26 to 28 of the owners manual should give you an idea of what is required for installation.

  http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-3847-desktop_Owner%27s%20Manual_en-us.PDF

  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.

• I've updated the Mac driver for the 8600 and direct wireless printing is no longer works. V5.9.1

  I've updated the Mac driver for the 8600 and direct wireless printing is no longer works. The HP utility is v5.9.1, Mac OS x 10.7. I did the software update and a new driver HP was part of the package. HP ePrint still works, and print tests are okay for General network settings are intact. None of the applications that use the print dialogue box standard and local networking make it through the print queue. Any tips? Any way to roll back a driver version? Or quickly get the next revision and hope printing works again? Thank you.

  Update: OSX-specific Version is 10.7.5, model of the printer is HP OfficeJet 8600. See you soon.

  Hello

  Try to reboot the router and check if that can help you.

  After connecting the back of the router, wait 30-60 seconds and restart the printer and Mac.

  If it persists, try resettign the system as follows:

  * Be aware that reset the printer system will eliminate any existing queue and reset all custom settings driver.

  Click on the Apple menu and then click on System Preferences.
  Select Print & Scan.
  Right click (or Ctrl + click) your product with the Printers list in the left panel and then click on reset printing system.
  Click OK to confirm the reset.
  Type your user name and password.
  Click OK. The printing system resets.

  Now reconfigure the device by following the HP (under Utilities Applications\hewlett-Packard\Device) installation wizard.

  Please let me know if this can help,

  If you are using a real MS win dvd during the first part of the installation it can not find a drive or ask a driver, then the driver is obtained from Dell, specific to your model, its likely the driver sata, you need to download to say a USB and then point to this file when the installation application the third-party driver.

• Replace the failed HARD drive in Inspiron 1545 without recovery media

  My COMPUTER illiterate brother gave me his Dell Inspiron 1545 [Amin Note: Service Tag published by policy TOU] set after he dropped it on the floor.  I used a cart of Sata USB drive to copy successfully most of his records off the coast to another PC (some were corrupt), but I do not know how to go on installing the OS, etc. on the new HARD drive, I bought (a 120 GB Samsung SSD Series 840).

  Dell Diagnostics (F12 at startup) gives me several errors of HARD drive for the Western Digital HDD (WD-WX70A8983788) 320, for example:

  Error code 2000-0146 test short DST. The reader also failed to conduct confidence test correctly eg 0F00:1348 error Code. Msg:disk block 66381323: Drive aborted the command, update the firmware (even for block DISC 69322993). Read Test failed - error 0F00-0232 Code Msg DISK block 37006336: IRQ has not been defined at the time.

  When you try to boot normally, Windows Vista complains that there are mistakes, tries to correct them and sometimes I can get it to boot on Windows Home screen how it freezes.

  When I have already fixed a laptop, I had access to a recovery media / DVD and a key product of Windows OS, but this Dell does seem to be none of that - just a recovery partition on a hard drive now doubtful.

  What are my options to install the new HARD drive and hand over its files on since I have no recovery media or a product key Windows OS?

  I must:

  (a) reduce the size of the partition on the dodgy HARD drive less than 120 GB and then clone the dodgy HDD on the new SSD, so try and difficulty of installing Windows using the Dell recovery tools? (He had used<120GB of="" the="" old="">

  (b) clone just the recovery Partitions, and then copy the relevant files on?

  (c) try to make a Vista DVD and somehow get the product key of Windows disable the suspicious HDD (it doesn't seem to be a Windows product key sticker on the laptop, the Toshiba & IBM unlike I had sitting next to me).

  (d) something else?

  Thanks in advance for your help.  First thing I will once I have it get up and running is to create the recovery media that he did not!

  Option one could be quite bad if the performance of the system was initially quite bad. It depends on what has been installed on the machine. I recommend a clean installation.

  Follow my Guide from reinstalling Windows / a Clean Install of Windows Vista:

  http://philipyip.WordPress.com/Dell-community-forums/

  This will guide you through the clean install using downloadable Digital River Media (Microsoft online partner). It will tell you where to download the installation files and how to do an aswell USB bootable as the rest of the installation.

  For product activation, there are instructions on the use of the activation program to backup and restore (step 2 and 11 b). I saved product activation OEM Dell Dell Windows Vista to 7 reinstallation DVD. If you run a utility finder key on the old installation, you will get a corresponding product key. It is not would be in line with the key on your COA. The guide explains system locked preinstallation and activation more in detail. An alternative to the product activation is also possible; You can use the product key on the laptops COST 25-digit which must be placed under the battery in the Inspiron 1545 to protect it from deletion. This will require automated activation of phone to a Center (11th step) Microsoft product activation so I prefer activation backup and restore program.

  I am from the United Kingdom and do not like the fact that the form of relocation brackets is for US customers only. The situation has worsened for Windows 8, Microsoft has not provided downloadable media. Please add your voice to this idea from IdeaStorm Windows 8 media IdeaStorm resettlement so that users in the United Kingdom or elsewhere outside the United States can get media to reinstall via an online application form or download link. Unfortunately IdeaStorm requires connection separate from the rest of the Dell Community.
