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).

  • Hard drive or SATA connector?

    A few days ago I received the dreaded stop sign on the start screen, fearing that my hard drive has failed Finally I quickly bought a compatible. The next day, my drive hard original was 'work' again, slowly but surely she came back to life. Happened to my new hard drive, I decided it was time for an upgrade anyway. I created a bootable usb key, and with my new hard drive (1 TB of seagate Alpha) connected internally, I was ready to breathe new life into my old mac. As I was formatting the seagate OSX journaled with GUID I kept getting installation errors, and disk errors. After several attempts, I decided to give up. I then connected the seagate through a SATA to a USB (external) and voila! He was able to put in the form of OS X journaled with GUID card (it means the drive is well?). So, I have connected the seagate in-house and represented the boot drive. Everything was successful until the very last moment, where I got the dreaded

    "OSX could not be installed on your computer file system check or repair a failure. Quit Setup or restart your computer and try again.

    So I tried again and the results were the same.

    What continues? Is there a problem with the seagate or is it an internal problem with the connections?

    Both are pretty easy to fix the parts are readily available, or it could be something else?

    Ask if you need more details, I believe that it is a fairly common problem.

    I forgot to take pictures of all the error screens as well

    Thank you

    Hi Yangw29:

    You said that your new work drive connected to your computer through SATA to a USB cable.

    Try it will be your old hard drive.

    Remove it from the computer and connect it via SATA to a USB cable.

    To test if the problem is your hard disk or the SATA cable:

    You can remove your Mac hard drive and install in case external OWC external box or by using a USB to SATA adapter SATA USB adapter and connect it to your MBP via USB. And then try to boot from by using the Boot Manager. This will help determine if your hard drive or SATA cable are at fault. If she starts the MBP, will very probably be the problem the SATA cable drive needs to be replaced.

    Start from the disc using the Boot Manager: How to choose a disk to boot your Mac.

    What year / model is your computer?

As I have only owned this computer for 2 weeks, I want to make it work again. I know I can get traded locally of the bios chip if necessary. Much dg_hlc thanks

    Hi @dg_hlc!

    Personally, I would say to get a new drive if possible because the problems related to the card of the unit are not easy to solve.

    Of course, you can try to replace it if you want, but I do not recommend. I'm not saying it, not only because it is an operation not caring and not recommended in general, but especially because the risk to damage further the drive is too big and that the chances of finding an exact match of a PCB are really weak because of differences in the firmware over the years.

    The danger is that it can () will have different settings for how align the heads to the tracks on the surface of the physical disk, and when it tries to write anything (which it will) it will result in all current data is erased.

    I hope this helps and good luck!

  • Connect a second hard drive to SATA

    Hi all

    I have a Dell Inspiron 620, and I try to install a new Seagate 1 TB hard drive...

    I'm new to SATA and I need to buy a second SATA data cable, but I don't know what to order. The drive installed by Dell uses a blue cable, but this means that it transfers data to 6 GB per second? SATA data cables are color? Can I use a cable red, blue or black, or my Board does support 6 GB per second transfer rate?

    In addition, my hard drives are installed upside down, and that means I need a cable with left angle from what I can tell.

    I can post a label service if required (if it is not against the rules of the forum).

    Thank you very much.

    Rusty.07

    SATA cables are not chromocodes.

    No, blue does not mean a 6 gb / s, transfer, only Dell promotes the blue color as a symbol.

    Note: The Inspiron 620 is sata2 ports (3.0 GB/s).

    Yes, you will need a SATA cable with a 90 * connector at one end. Unfortunately Dell isn't all documentation to install an additional hard drive in the Inspiron available 620

  • Equium A100 - will be the responsibility of recovery on a new HARD drive disk

    Hello

    Don t know if anyone can help, I am just out of warranty by a month and I think that my hard drive has failed, or I had a virus that has hit loads of files and the PC is always eager to run the disc scan and still get errors on commissioning, sometimes start even goes just right to start mode then crash again and again the same thing.

    I have the recovery disk, but this is not sort on the question, so if I get a new hard drive the recovery disc will actually load on a new HARD drive? Why don t Toshiba just give us the full operating system to start with?

    Someone has answers or similar questions that could help please let me know.

    Concerning
    Dean

    Of course, you can use a recovery with new HARD drive media. No problem at all! Swap the HARD drive and install the operating system using recovery DVDs. All that s!

  • XP hangs after connecting an external hard drive via USB port

    When I connect an external hard drive of 250GB via a USB port on my system XP - SP3, the computer crashes immediately after the sound signal from the recognition of a normal connection PnP. There is no assignment of the station. I don't know that he had worked as can be expected before. A new 500 GB external hard drive is recognized as new hardware, the driver installed and ready to use, but after that, the PC shuts down completely new. However, when I do a system startup after connection of the same two drives, everything looks OK. Also, no problem with a USB stick of 2 GB. How to find what's the problem?

    Well - it's Windows for you, sometimes. :/

    Good luck with your new installation!

  • need to reestall premiun House of recovery in a blank formatted hard drive disks

    I have a sony vgn-n320e with a new Virgin hard drive formatted and need to reinstall vista Home premium from recovery disks

    Hello

    Recovery disk cannot be used to install an operating system. You can perform repairs to the files that Windows uses to start itself, perform a restore operation using System Restore, and restore your computer in its entirety and the filesystem using backups that you have made previously.

    You need a Windows Vista installation disc to install it.

  • Blue screen error: 0x0000001a when using system to restore with new hard drive disk

    original title: blue screen error when you use the system disk to restore with new hard drive

    I bought a new hard drive to my computer because the old one gave me a bunch of error messages on screen blues. I installed in the tower and tried to use my restore and system recovery disks that the manufacturer has given me, the process has got to the last disk then asked for the system once again restore disc, and then began to load the last steps and went to blue screen error. I don't know what to do, I mean it's a whole new drive hard, so where could the error come, theres nothing on the hard drive because I have not yet used really, yet. Help, please

    I have finally fixed the problem myself. The problem was that one of the sticks three memory was bad and the only way I could test this error. I took two sticks a left, used disks I had and was able to restore my computer, then I put a stick, turned on the computer, had no errors so I let him, so I put the last stick in and com immediately on, I had the Disconnections: memory management and that's when I knew that the last stick of memory was bad I took it back and now my computer works well and I can't buy more memory for not too. So if someone gets this BOSD error on memory, I'd say 8/10 computers have bad memory (not a number). If youcannot run the tool of diagnosis of memory like me then I would suggest to do what I did with the trial and error, it was the only way to understand the problem. Thanks for your help

  • With the help of recovery on the new hard drive disks

    Hello

    I have an old t160.uk of Pavilion.  The hard disk starts to sound a bit grumpy.  I have a spare I want to replace it with.  Can I create recovery discs using the partition, and then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows xp on the new drive? or the recovery disks only works on the original hard drive?

    See you soon,.

    Hello Hirroshi, it seems that drives hard very little HP only work in an HP computer, or so I said. I think it has to do with some code that HP puts in the Master Boot Record, but that's just a guess. I read on the Forum that this is the case.

    I suggest that you delete the partition on the replacement hard drive, and then create a new partition and format the hard drive. You should be able to use the recovery disk, if they are not damaged and that you have a valid burn.

    You can try to install the replacement hard drive in the system you propose, and it can work very well. It's certainly worth a try.

    Here is a link that shows how to perform a recovery facility when a hard drive is replaced.
