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.

  • Pavilion dv6t - 6 c 00 A1U55AV: which USB 3.0 driver should I use

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6t - 6 c 00 A1U55AV who had a hard drive failure. After replacing the drive and the installation of the operating system, I was able to get all the resettled drivers, but I'm not sure that I installed the right driver USB 3. I installed the driver from Renesas (v 2.1.19.0), but I'm not sure it's the right one. I have a USB 3 AC wireless card that said I could get faster speeds if I have the plugin into a USB port on the SS (which I do). Should I use the Fresco Logic 3 USB driver instead?

  • What ports should I use to get the VPN RA worked?

    Hello

    I have a few tunnels l2l. I don't use "vpn sysopt connection permit" command. I prefer to activate the required ports for specific source IP. So they can establish the VPN tunnel with me.

    Recently, I have configured remote access vpn. It is work very well... But only when I activate "vpn sysopt connection permit.

    Question:

    1. what ports need to be activated to get RA VPN work? (without vpn sysopt connection permit)

    2. How can I restrict the access of remote when clients they connected to my private network?

    Thank you

    Leo

    Hi Leo,

    When you are not using 'connection sysopt... '. ", you must explicitly permit udp 500 and udp 4500, traffic esp on the outdoor access list.

    Let's say that public intf outside ip address is x.x.x.x and pool customer, we use y.y.y.0 and you want to allow 'only' traffic for port 80 through the tunnel.

    In the ACL on the outside, you need the following instructions:

    access-list 101 permit udp any host x.x.x.x eq 500

    access-list 101 permit udp any host x.x.x.x eq 4500

    access-list 101 permit esp any host x.x.x.x

    access-list 101 permit tcp y.y.y.0 255.255.255.0 eq 80

    access-list 101 deny ip 255.255.255.0 y.y.y.0

    I noticed that my Optiplex 760 MT has what appears to be 4 SATA ports.  2 are currently in use (she turns drive and DVD - RW) and I'll add an Evo of 840 Samsung soon.  I want to just make sure that it does not matter what SATA port that I use for the SSD.  I guess they are all SATA II?

  • 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.

    I'm using labview for the first time. I want to use the RS 232 cable to connect between Labview and HP 34401 multimeter. Which driver should be used for this purpose? Help, please.

    Thanks in advance!

    A search for the HP 34401A on the Instrument Driver Network reveals this page, which should have what you need. If you're using LabVIEW, you will want one of the first two projects.

  • 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.
