• Dell Optiplex 755 adding second hard drive

  I have a Dell Optiplex 755 and I would like to add a second hard drive (160GB 3.5 "SATA Hard Drive Western Digital WD1600AAJS) to have more space, because I think that the stock 75 GB is not enough for me. So I wonder if I need a new power supply or additional data and power cables.

  Thank you.

  The mini tour has two positions for the drives.  See the manual...

  The two positions of hard disks are next to each other.

  Yes, you will need to provide a SATA cable

• Dell XPS 8700 - secondary SATA Hard Drives don't appear not

  I tried to install two additional hard drives on my new XPS 8700. The machine came with the primary drive connected to the SATA 0 and the DVD drive connected to the SATA 1. When I installed two additional hard drives, I put in the SATA 2 & 3 ports. Hard drives appeared in Windows (8.1), nor in the BIOS. I played a bit with ports SATA 2 & 4 and 3 & 4. Hard drives are not recognized. When I looked in disk management, they weren't there. As a last resort, I unplugged the DVD player SATA cable and plugged the cable on one of the secondary hard drives (which was then attached to the SATA 1 port) to connect the DVD player to the SATA 2 this drive cable port. When I started my computer, all drives have become visible. I don't know why. SATA cables I used comes from a 5 year old computer (like hard drives). Was it a problem with the cables, or is it a problem of SATA port? The first disc hard school should go in port SATA 1?

  I searched the forum and couldn't find a similar problem (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19520798.aspx). Eventually, the person back to his computer.

  alexsyseng,

  for the most part, you are right. I had this same problem as well, but I already had the a06 bios. the problem is with the uefi bios feature. its ment to be safer, but causes problems when adding disks. I tried your suggestion to change the secure boot options, but it does not work for me. I found the solution by chance when I went from uefi boot inherited so that I could use my cd discpart of secure erase my ssd.

  so here's the solution, whenever you add a drive, you will pass the bios in legacy mode, then return to the uefi mode. If your computer came with windows 8 then more than likely your bios is set to uefi. When you switch the bios the legacy of your desire to computer error and you say that he has not found any what boot drives. No worries, switch to that return to uefi, reboot and now your system will start properly and all your disks will be visible in the windows and disk management. no need to replace your motherboard. Unfortunately, I spent two hours with tech support and they didn't know that either.

• Pavilion dv7 4053 cl: Pavilion dv7 4053cl adding second hard drive

  I replaced with success the stock HDD in my laptop with an SSD.

  I want to continue to use the old HDD in the laptop well, and it seems that I have a second drive Bay HARD in which HARD drive can adapt. I have not, however, see a SATA connector on the motherboard for a second HDD connection.

  There is a SATA connector to the disk HARD primary (symbols of disc 1, marked on the plastic) and there are two connectors near the RAM, which seem not to be SATA, and my optical disc drive is connected.

  Am I missing something, or is there is no place on the motherboard to connect a second HARD (well, or SSD) via SATA drive?

• Dimension 8100 XP added second hard drive

  I do not ask for help more, but I'm missing something.  I got the correct drive WD HD 80 MG to add as the second disc.  I installed and everything, but the system does not show it.  I tried installing and when I try to choose a second drive, when it reboots it says secondary drive 1 invalid.  The poster secondary drive 0 as the CD-ROM Setup program.

  The drive came with no sntructions.  If a jumper PIN must be changed?  The CD is the problem?

• Can a second hard drive be added to a Satellite A200-298

  Hello
  I have a Satellite A200-298 which came with a hard drive of 200 GB, I wondered if it was possible for a second hard drive more to be added to help with Itunes that is storage of files and movies.

  Post edited by: Irishdiver

  Hi mate,

  Unfortunately, there may be a second HDD to be added because if your machine has only one disc and then the other drive hard bay would not have an installed hard drive connector.

  I would buy an external hard drive and store my stuff there I was you...

• What needs to install a second hard drive in the XPS 410 desktop computer

  I want to install an internal drive repaired as a second drive in my office, so I can recover the data. A few threads in this area and I see support. Would just need a SATA HD cable? The power cable would already be there?

  userx_076

  Requires addititional hard drive, a SATA data cable and a power connector SATA, the default XPS 410 has a SATA power connector power to spare for a second hard drive.

  You will need to buy a SATA data cable, probably a 24 "x 90 * [square] x 180 * right SATA cable, similar to the cable as shown here:"

  The procedures to install a second HD are here, on page 30:

• Adding a second hard drive internal in a T510?

  I bought the new 510 with the internal hard disk of 500 GB 7200 RPM, and I think about adding another one with the same characteristics.

  (1) is there a place to add a second hard drive

  (2) if so, would you have a second hard drive, or run a raid?

  (3) If you want a raid you would reflect the main disk failure?

  (4) what are the disadvantages of having a second disk except weight?

  Lenovo said it would work in the notes to the mobile 500 GB internal drive here.

  "Option of 500 GB at 7200 RPM hard drive RPM ThinkPad offers large capacity, additional storage at high speed which incorporates the latest technology for the improvement of mobile productivity. For additional storage and backup, use optional new ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay adapter III (43N3412) to install the ThinkPad 500 GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA hard drives in the following media bays: computers ThinkPad taken in charge, including selected R400/R500, ThinkPad T400/T400s/T410/T410s/T500/T510 and W510/W500/W700 portable series plus the ban ThinkPad X 200. »

• Adding a second hard drive internal

  I use an old HP Media Center PC m700, product: m7041. I have tried adding a second internal hard drive, but unfortunately do not know how to start. Could someone help me please?

  I'll start by guessing that you have a m7041.uk, given that your model number is incomplete. After you have a HP m7041.uk, you have the following types of drive Bay and the quantities;

  5.25 inches (CD/DVD), external x two (one available)
  a (busy) x internal 3.5-inch (hard drive),
  Personal Media Drive (available) x

  Because you don't have that a single Bay 3.5 "for a hard drive and it is already occupied, you will need to use the Bay 5.25" opened with an adapter like THIS or THAT. Please see these tutorials for HP on 'Adding or replacing a hard drive' and 'Adding or replacing a CD or DVD disc' to learn where and how to install the second hard drive.

• I added a 128 gB microSD card to provide the space for my photos, (a second hard drive) but lightroom won't let me not import all the pictures that are already on the map. The only import option is 'copy', not 'Add '.

  I had a problem with Lightroom on Microsoft Surface 3.  I added a 128 gB microSD card to provide the space for my photos, (a second hard drive) but lightroom won't let me not import all the pictures that are already on the map.  The only import option is 'copy', not 'Add '.  I worked around this by mounting a network directory containing photos and imported from there.  Is it possible to stop Lightroom to see such a map as a camera?

  I have not tested, but it should work with Lightroom:

  Not sure what happens if you remove the card and put in a similar SD card. I would like to test it so that you know what to expect.

• XPS 1730 do not recognize the second hard drive

  OK... so I tried a second hard drive to add to my XPS 1730 already installed. Well I went and got a 320 (160GB installed alread) 2.5 SATA internal hard drive in the laptop. The installation went well (or at least I think that's the case). However when that I start the laptop, the hard drive is not there (under the menu of the computer). I then rebooted the laptop and went into the BIOS and the BIOS sees the drive. The BIOS shows that my main hard drive is 160 GB and my secondary hard drive is 320 GB. Is someone can you please tell me what may be the problem. Thanks in advance for your help.

  P.S. I'm sorely need help I have will deploy to Iraq VERY soon and don't have much time to have access to the internet. Thanks again.

  
  

• Adding a second hard drive

  I have a HP Pavilion P6716F. The vehicle currently has a 1 TB hard drive (HD #1). I want to add a second hard drive of 2 TB (HD #2).

  I have a SATA connector cable, but you need to know what SATA on Alvorix RS880 port plug in. There is a white SATA P2 next to a P1 blue SATA to which is connected the current hard drive (HD #1). Is SATA P2 the right port to plug the second disc (HD #2)

  What I need to populate the second disc? If so, it seems that there are spare connectors which could be used. One of them is close by the power supply for hard disk #1. HD #1 is connected to a connector marked P4. P4 connector is divided (siamesed) another identical connector marked P5. The second hard drive (HD #2) must be plugged into this connector?

  Kostas,

  has worked like a charm. Thanks to a bouquet.

• Adding a second hard drive to a 500-380nf Pavilion?

  I just bought a new 500-380nf Pavilion.

  In the store I did understand the seller I was intending to add second hard drive to a 1 to SATA (which I already loaded with all my media files).

  However, now I am home and have taken the side panel, it seems that the system a capacity for 2 more SATA connections on the motherboard, power cable from spare at least one and a lot of physical space.

  BUT the chassis appears to have been designed with ONLY 2 bays - that are occupied by the existing hard drive and the optical drive.   Am I missing something?   There is a place to mount the second hard drive, isn't there?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Some models of the HP 500 - xxx series are provsioned for a 2.5 device "(SDD ou HD)."  See the image below.

  

  If you have removed the optical drive you can then use a 5.25 "to two hard drive adapter 2.5"since you mentioned a 2.5 hard drive".

• Presario CQ5110F: COMPAQ Presario CQ5110F adding a second hard drive and...

  Good so I took the lead when writing my original post on how to combine the two computers successfully.
  Not enough research, no question, just a little say aloud... Sorry about that.
  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/HP-Pavilion-slimline-s3505f-amp-...

  I had little time today messing with both ' puters and discovered...
  They need a good cleaning and had.
  The noise of the Presario is indeed the fan on the radiator, it's just old and tired. Who cannot be strong in a music room; new fan may not be too expensive.
  So I decided the Presario is my starting point.

  I would add the hard drive of the Slimline as slave; they have different connectors tho.

  (1) if I just unplug the V2000 CD reader (that has the straight plugs) and use them to connect the second hard drive will I just lost my CD player? It is very good.
  (2) what parameters of rider (if any) do I need to have on each disc? Do not see outside the car Slimlines.

  I looked closer 2 slots for RAM and noticed that beside them there seems to be 2 places in addition to the Board of Directors, unused with no present holders plastic.

  (3) is it possible to add more slots and double the RAM? I would get 8 + GB and a 64-bit system end by ;~)

  Neither office seems to have the ability to run 2 monitors as is. No problem 29 "should do for now.
  Can't see a way to take the card out of the Slimline wireless and put it in the Presario. Internet not immediately necessary, hard connection cable always an option.

  All the other tips and advice on how to optimize my sytem are also welcome.
  Thank you for your time and helping an old guy handyman.
  See you soon!

  Hard drives has no different connectors if they are both SATA specifications like other post indicated.

  There is no adjustment to make on hard disks of the rider SATAS. According to me, that one can think of the old school the IDE drives.

  ) If I just unplug the V2000 CD reader (that has the straight plugs) and use them to connect the second hard drive will I just lost my CD player? It is very good.

  The image below is a diagram for your motherboard. You have enough SATA ports to be used for the second and even a third hard drive.

  

  DDR2 memory modules can be a little difficult to source. The current generation of add-on memory is the DDR3 specification.

  Perform a Google or any search engine is your preference in the memory of the source by using the update of Compaq presario CQ5110F RAM as keywords.
