XPS 8300 SATA Port multiply

• W520 support port multiplier, how?

  Hello world

  I have a Thermaltake BlacX Duet, which connects to the e-sata and allows you to have two discs.  The condition sine qua non is that your sata should support port multiplier.   I thought that the QM67 supported port multiplier.    I am currently only able to see one of the two disks.   Has anyone got get an external table on the W520?   I would like to know your configuration.

  Thank you!

  This isn't. Five of the [e/m] SATA ports are connected to QM67 chipset that does not support the mutlipliers port. (In the technical sheet: Intel QM67, when it comes to defining the SATA controller registers, it is said: ' the PCH SATA controller does not support Port multipliers. ") BIOS must clear this bit by writing a 0 in this field.)

  I have the dual dock USB/eSATA Vantec NexStar, and it makes my rather unfortunate W520 if I connect over eSATA, even with a single drive plugged in. (USB is very good with both drives, but it's only USB 2.0).

  In my view, there are one or two eSATA ExpressCard adapters that support port multipliers (and most do not have)... but since I don't need really, and yet, I am waiting for an ExpressCard v2 / SATA III / variant 6Gbps before get me a. (If one is already done).

• Replacing hard drive XPS 8300

  I have an internal 1.5 TB harddrive in my workstation of XPS 8300 (bought in 2012). Now, he has only 200 GB of free space. I bought a hard drive double (ST1500DM003 Seagate 1.5 TB 3.5 SATA).

  Given that the new drive is twice faster (6 Gb/s with a 64 MB Cache) I want to use the new disk as my main drive (C :). I clean the current C: drive and install later as a second drive internal.

  I want to clone my C: drive (which consists of three partitions: 39 MB OEM, 13.25 GB NTFS RECOVERY and 1383.98 GB NTFS Boot, Crash Dump, primary).

  I have the Clonezilla Linux utility, but I don't know how to copy all three partitions on my C: drive to the new drive and still be able to boot from the new drive.

  What should I do at this point?

  Regards, Chuck

  I've never used clonezilla, and admittedly, it's been a while since I had to do something like this, but from my experience...

  All major suppliers of HARD drive usually have a cloning solution, something they license to a company like Acronis (True Image) or Symantec (Ghost) with the restriction that they only work if one of the hard drives was manufactured by this seller. All of these programs I used, when a partitioned drive source, would give you options for:

  1. only clone a partition.
  2. all partitions to scale proportionately. (ranging from 1.5 to 3 TB to 500/500/500 GB give 1000/1000/1000 GB, yields of 500/1000, 1000/2000)
  3. manually define partitions.

  If you chose option 2, everything should be good. You will download an ISO of the manufacturer and burn it to a CD. (Make sure you use "Burn Image to disk" data with the file .iso disc will not start your computer) fix the two HARD drives on the motherboard and the power and boot from the CD in F12 menu. Once you have cloned the drive, remove the original (Source) disk and check the new boot disk. (if the cloning was successful it will be)

  At this point, you can delete the old drive, (make sure that you wipe the right pair!) re - partition and install it as a data reader. I would recommend using disk management to assign the data drive partition a drive letter fixed, just to ensure that it will not change if your optical drive turn off or something.

  I would like to reinstall my operating system to a 'Factory' state using the Re-installatioon Dell disk and not using F8 at startup. The disc indicates that installation does not include drivers. There is a drivers and Utilities disc also came with the PC, but I'm very unsure of what drivers to install and in what order.  Would appreciate your help in explaining to me what drivers to install and in which order, here is the information you request.

  Thank you!

• 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).

  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.

• XPS 8300 will not identify data reader 5 to

  I have a desktop computer XPS 8300, Windows 7/64, 12 GB of RAM. Boot drive is a 500 GB SSD, and there is a SATA 2 TB of data. I'm a photographer, so I need a lot of data storage.

  I just bought a Toshiba MD04ACA500 5 to to use as a data drive (NO boot).

  My XPS 8300 can see the drive, but insists on the fact that it contains only 500 GB of storage, not 5 TB. I did the following:

  • Run Diskpart from a DOS window.
  • Run Diskmgmt.msc;
  • Run the tool to partition a third party
  • Also, I went through Windows KB 2581408 procedure of adding a player of great size.

  No matter what I do, the drive is detected as only 500 GB.

  The XPS 8300 is possible to work with a 5 TB drive? If so, how?

  Thank you, Ed

  Disks over 2 TB software needed to work with disks of large capacity and NEED 64 Bit Windows.  INTEL RST integrated in win7 is 8.x, which means that he WILL NOT see large capacity disks. Seagate manage it with the driver and utilities.

  • 2 t of learning beyond
  • Interactive Guide for disks more larger-Than - 2 TB

  http://www.Seagate.com/support/downloads/beyond-2TB/

  INTEL RST 10.1 at least is NECESSARY for advanced format drives.

  With windows vista or 7 install ATA mode then the microsoft patch is necessary before moving on to the AHCI.

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/922976

  Once passed to Ahci and work, you install the version of the RST that works for your model.

  Latest and most recent versions of the decline of the RST support more older chipsets.

  The latest 15 13 or 14 or 11 or 12 may not work.

  Before 9.x, it was called MSM (Matrix Storage Manager)

  It changed of MSM to RST in the 9.x versions.

  10.1 or greater is required for the GPT partitions greater than 2 TB.

  9.6 or higher is required for larger than 120 Gig aka advanced format drives.

• XPS 8300

  I'm looking at the XPS 8300, but I have questions. I need two monitors, the 8300 will help me do that? I would add the TV tuner, but when I add a second video card it tells me that I have no more Pci-e slots. What can I do?  I'm going with 16 GB of ram and 1.5 TB HD, I'll add the rest of my hard drive with external drives space. Can someone help me with a decent intelligent construction? Thank you

  Peace

  Michael

  What are you trying to accomplish with this version?

  None of the video cards will support dual monitors. The basic card (Radeon HD6450) only supports a DVI and VGA, but going back all of them have double DVI connections. With the HD6770 & they all support also double connections & DVI Display Port.

  However I don't see where you can add a second video card to the XPS 8300. And the configuration that I built, with the highest GPU of range, yet does not prevent me to add TV Tuner.

• XPS 8300 cannot see USB 3.0 card

  "Late 2010" Dell card mother 0Y2MRG, Bios A06. New installation of Windows 7, all updates applied. Latest chipset drivers.

  I tried 2 different cards USB 3.0 PCIe with the same result. There is no indication in Device Manager. No question mark or exclamation points. Just don't register. Cannot install drivers because there is no device. Tried different slots, same result. BIOS has limited options, and none seem to solve anything in this regard. Anyone who encountered this? It seems that many XPS 8300 users have installed the USB 3.0 card. I've only met one or two references to this problem without solution listed.

  I solved the problem. I used a card specified as PCIe 2.0 with a NEC (Renesas) chip. I have installed the drivers first, plugged the card in a rejoiced when I saw set up a new device after Windows starts. Works very well. No conflicts. Installation went exactly as you would expect any PCIe card. 3 USB devices operate normally and one obviously higher speed than USB 2. I have not tested officially yet.

  It's the map: Silverstone Tek PCI Express Card 2 x USB 3.0 Ports external and internal 19 pins of the Dual-Port (EC04-P)

  Apparently the Dell motherboard is picky. I don't know if the question was specific 2.0 PCIe or if he liked the NEC chip. Or both.

• Question of XPS 8300 PCIe

  I tried to find an answer to the question and hope someone here can help.

  I have a XPS with an I5 2300 processor 2.8 8300. The tag indicates it was made in August 2011. The PCIe slots on the mobo are PCIe (1) x 16, which is occupied by a graphics card and (3) connectors PCIe x 1 which are empty. My question is about the three empty slots and what generation these slots are - PCIe 1.0, PCIe 2.0 or PCIe 3.0?

  I can't find the answer to this question. The reason for the concern is the computer has no USB 3.0 ports, and I am interested in installing a USB 3.0 PCIe card. I read that you need to match the generation card PCI with the same build location for optimum performance. In other words, if these niches is only PCIe 1.0, it seems unwise to pay the sum of $ for a PCIe 2.0 (or 3.0 PCIe) card if they'll only opearte to bandwidth 1.0?

  Thnx in advance for any help.

  Hi Scewter54,

  PCI-E 2.0 and PCI-E Gen2 are exactly the same thing. XPS 8300 comes with Intel H67 Chipset.

  Answer please for more details.

• XPS 8300: Can I put the food?

  I would like to upgrade my power supply for my XPS 8300 to something with 500W or later. Exceeding of several internet forums, it seems that some people were able to do, but they need to change in order to adapt because the exclusive Dell power is shaped differently.

  I opened a discussion with Dell and said then that the "maximum power to the system would be 460w", which means that I have no option to upgrade.

  Can anyone else confirm this? It seems fairly ridiculous that Dell would bother someone to upgrade their system this way.

  BadgerKing

  Yes, generic ATX power supply can be installed, with a power of 20 + 4 pin main motherboard, or 24 pins as the XPS 8300 has a panel back open, with or without the on/off switch.

  You should be able to buy a compatible power supply either a local computer or online store.

  Note: A power supply with four SATA power connectors, is necessary.

  It was reported that it is better to buy a PSU with a depth of approximately 5.9 ".

  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.

• SATA ports on MS-7613 motherboard (HP G5370uk desktop PC)

  Hello world

  I have a PC HP G5370uk desktop (but with processor i5, new graphics card, and improved memory).  My next planned upgraded is a SSD and Windows 8.  I know the different shift than the races of motherbard SATA2 3 Gb/s, so I won't get all the benefits of a 6 GB/s SSD, but I'm happy with that for now.

  It's the map page mother HP http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02014355

  My question is, when I watch the news (from HWiNFO64) SATA, it is said there are #0 à #5 SATA ports, but I see only 4 ports on the motherboard.  And he also said that they run interface speeds.  Is down to devices that I've connected, or will they run all 3 Gbit/s, no matter what I plug into wise SSDS.  If this isn't the case, that plug in to for best results.

  Thank you very much in advance for any advice you can give

  The jury only has 4 ports of 3 Gbit/s SATA2, numbered from 1 to 4 according to the scheme.

• 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.
