You want to add additional SATA hard disks to the Pavilion p6310y...

This model looks like it should be particularly conducive to the welcoming the addition of another or even a third hard drive. Why then when I open it there only SATA for the master and all the other connectors coming out of food are these old things of molex 4 pin?  I find it quite confusing because the hard drive, I am trying to add came out of my last HP (older)... but it is SATA, and even the old model had at least a SATA connection available for the slave. This computer is brand new... buy adapters do expect?

Thanks in advance for anyone to help.

Your model came with a significant (1 terabyte) hard drive. One option is to make another partition on the disk through the disk manager. You can add a card pci or pcie x 1 sata controller to do more SATA ports available.  There Iadapters PSU ndependent ($ 3.00 USD) for connectors from Molex 12v which will convert SATA power connectors available

PC OEMS are not built to be extensible without some additional expenses. The alternative is to build your own and select everything you want inside the case.

Kind regards

    Hello

    How fast is fast is the real question.

    Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

    Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

    Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

    Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.

    Hello

    I bought the HP ENVY 15-as032nr with only 512 GB SSD laptop. I want to add additional 1 to hard drive. Can it be done?

    Yes, you have the 512 m2 NVME PCI - e (lucky) drive gig and that goes into a slot and then there is also a slot open for a standard hard disk 2.5 thumbs or SATA SSD. See pages 30-33 of the manual here:

    Repair manuals

    It is likely that your laptop does not contain the HDD mounting kit and cable as shown on page 30 and 31 and this note is in the Manual:

    The disk spare parts kit hard does not include the rubber hard drive support or cable hard drive. The hard disk rubber support is available using the spare part number 857797-001. The hard drive cable is available by using the spare part number 857806-001

    You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

    Read about Defender:

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  • Pavilion p6310y: WD10EZEX hard drive is compatible for the Pavilion p6310y?

    Hello

    I'm looking for a replacement of the hard disk of my Pavilion p6310y. I found a hard disk WD10EZEX on Amazon. It has the same features as the WD10EADS came with the pc when I bought it. But with some better features. The WD10EZEX is compatible?

    Hi, the active drive WD10EADS is a HARD SATA 2.0, while you are looking in WD10EZEX is a SATA 3.0. However, this should not be a problem since the SATA standard is backward compatible and a SATA 3.0 drive should work on a SATA 2.0 port. The difference in the size of the buffer and the ROTATION speed should not be a problem too, so you should be able to use a WD10EZEX in your system. Be sure to do a good backup of all your data on an external HARD drive before you start to replace your HARD drive. Good luck.

  • Add additional sata disk to pavillion m9400t elite

    Hello, I have a HP Pavilion Elite M9400T desktop computer.  I'm on the disc and you want to add an additional hard drive.  The case of the opening, I found that the two slots of the disc already have records in them.  I also found that SATA0 and SATA2 ports have taken in them and they are attached to the hard drive.  I found that the SATA4 port is empty and this is where I want to connect the additional disk.  I bought a Western Digital Black 2 TB 3.5 hard drive and buy an internal matter for mounting the drive in the empty 5.25 bay under the optical drive.  I also need to buy a SATA cable and adpater cable drive power.  Did I meet problems getting the systΦme can recognize the added disk?  Are there things I should be aware of I have install additional drive?  Thanks for the info.

    The "T" of the HP Pavilion Elite M9400T designates a custom configuration. These can be found here.

    Based on your post, your system has a RAID0 (spans 2 discs) or RAID1 (mirrored), which

    (A) 2 x 500 GB drives in RAID 1 (helpful 500 GB storage capacity)

    (B) 640 (2 x 320) GB, RAID 0

    (C) 1 TB (2 x 500) RAID 0

    So, what's your configuration?

    Add the 3rd disc system is simple, and your logic is correct.  Installation, connection and format.

    The system is 5 years old (readers have a limited duration), you may be eligible to advance the survival rate by installing the new drive as primary and the old records of retirement.

  • You want to add hard drive XP on my Vista computer.

    I have Vista on my computer and you want to add XP to use an old program. The XP is on a computer sooner I could add the drive to the computer later?

    Someone said I need to partition the HD on the Vista machine and install XP on it. That doesn't seem to be difficult to achieve. Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

    If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

    http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-1946.html

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    N °

    Installing XP will have different drivers from the motherboard installed on the old hard drive; so it would probably not start.

    It would take a clean install (if XP drivers are available for your newer computer), according to the XP license:

    If XP was preinstalled on your computer, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of XP OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of XP at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

    Try this instead:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

    If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
    It works for some programs, but not all.

    This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

  • Try to add a new hard disk to m7657c

    So, after about 6 years, we you're still enjoying our Media Center Office and have made a few updates here and there (OS, graphics card, etc.). Now, we're tired of running out of disk space and want to add a new hard drive. Now, according to the specifications of the product (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00794034), we should have two internal drive bays 3.5 ". Which one should be available. Where is located the?

    I have removed the side and before the panels, can see where the existing HARD drive is mounted on the side of the Bay of media player owner, but I can't find any other anchor point to place a secondary HARD disk. There is a lot of power open and SATA connections, but I am at a loss to find a Bay.

    Before the wreck I have my system trying to kluge something together, I want to know where the available Bay is supposed to exist.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • You attempt to add a 2nd hard drive

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE 510 t. I try to add a 2nd hard drive. The 2nd hard drive is a Toshiba 1 TB 7200 RPM 6G.

    Accordingly, the 1st HDD was plugged on SATA2 and the CD-ROM was connected to SATA1. It worked and it started ok.

    I added the 2nd hard drive, plugged on SATA3, went into the BIOS Setup and it has not even see SATA3.

    I then plugged the CD-ROM on SATA3 and the 2nd hard disk on SATA1 and lit, is went into the BIOS config amd saw 2 hard drive and a hard disk 1, it did not see the Wired CD SATA3. Then I tried SATA4-nothing.

    I have advanced and partitioned and formatted the hard drive into two partitions 2 and recovered the data from a backup on each partition.

    It works very well, with both devices, but nothing I have connect SATA3 or SATA4 is recognized by the BIOS.

    Can someone tell me why? is there a jumper on the system board or a setting in the BIOS that turns on SATA3 and SATA4?

    Are my bad SATA3, SATA4?

    I've seen the specifications for hard disks. He is said to use a 1 to 3G 7200 RPM. IS the fact that I use a 1 to 7200 RPM 6 G the cause? Even with the hard drive 2 disconnected and hard drive 1 SATA1 or 2 and SATA3 or 4 CD, it does not yet recognize the CD-ROM drive.

    I tried to pass autour SATA data cables, but it has not changed. Anyone know why the system will not recognized the connected CD-ROM SATA3 or SATA4?

    Or whatever it is well plugged SATA3 or 4? I can run both hard drives, but then I don't have a CD-ROM drive, or I can run a hard drive and a CD-ROM drive, but not 2nd hard drive.

    Any suggestions? I know choose IDE used to have to set a date for the cable, but I don't think that SATA requires that.

    Am I wrong?

    I bought a $70 ServerSupply.com motherboard, succeeded him and it solved the problem.

    Someone here even suggested, but me. I forgot what email I signed up for this site.

  • Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?

    Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?  The bios is version v3.26, and the operating system is XP with SP3.  40 gig HD is full and you are looking to replace it but do not know what the size limit is with this bios version.

    Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion a705w desktop. This is based on the assumption that you converted the 5 and 0 and the fact that you mentioned a 40 GB hard drive.

    You already have the most current version of the BIOS of your computer and running the most recent service pack of Windows XP. Your computer and the operating system should support a drive of 500 GB without problem. The only problem is that your computer isn't any SATA ports, only 66/100 IDE (PATA). Look at local retailers and online for the IDE drives.
