Z420 HP: HP 2 TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM hard QB576AA (should I plug it into a grey connector 6 GB)

I have this hard drive and not being not SSD connected on a regular white connector on the motherboard, but apparently it can make 6 GB - should I plug it into one of the gray connectors?

Kind regards

SM

To answer my own question, I talked to someone from HP support via chat, that says it is OK to use the gray 6 GB port for this drive. It makes sense, because the drive is 6 GB, I was just ignorant mechanical controls could also use grey ports. For some reason, I assumed that mechanical controls have been slower and relegated to ports white 3 GB SSD could use faster gray 6 GB ports. Curiously, when I got the machine, he had a plu SSD plugged into the port of gray, but the Intel RST console has reported the transfer negotiated for it to only 3 GB. The console confirms that the new HARD drive is to get 6 GB (with my new SSD). The two ports are busy.

    Hello

    On some models, there are problems with 500 GB HARD drive. It is safer to stay with 320 GB drive HARD and just get the external HARD drive. If you have a chance, so it is interesting to test this great HARD drive. You can only check it is detected by the Bios or not.

    If you are in the United States, then from there what I remember that Newegg offer return policy for what does not work for you.

    You have 30 days for this step. Please check this information on your own because I'm not sure of him.

    7200 RPM HARD drive runs faster and you will feel this change for you.

    If you want to change the HARD drive for the biggest or fastest then you should use clonning like EASEUS Todo - Backupsoftware.

    It will copy everything from old HDD again and allow you to use your system without having to reinstall.

    See this tutorial. You will find information how to use this software.

    Hello

    Upgrade the internal HD on my DV5220us of the standard 120 GB drive at 5400 RPM to a 500 GB drive at 7200 RPM and I have problems with the laptop recognize the drive. I did a ghost of the 120 GB image and then put the image on the 500 GB. When I install the 500 GB drive in the laptop, it does not recognize it. booting with the XP cd does not recognize the drive either. I've updated to the latest version of the bios, 24 I think, stll nothing. If I use cables and connect the 500 GB as a slave drive, he sees very well and it works.

Internal and external drives are the types of advanced Format.  The drive is: HGST HTS541010A9E680.

    Thank you

    Hi @teranz

    Thanks for the reply.

    Unfortunately the adapters can be hit or miss, not always reliable. You could talk to the manufacturer of the adapter for advice.

    Regarding booting from a USB key, it looks like you want to install the OS on a USB device. It is possible with some advanced configuration, but it is out of the reach of these forums. You may find help by searching for «portable Windows installation»

    Good luck

  • Failure of SATA 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM

    Hello, never posted before, so this is. My i - mac 2010 hardrive failed.

    I would like to get a replacement can anyone point me to a reliable source... For a good replacement hardrive if you please. I think also, apparently the hard drive must be SATA II, not III. Those from my local computer store seems to be III SATA, SATA III does not work?

    I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. Also, I'm in the United Kingdom. If a British supplier would be great. Thank you very much.

    My first suggestion is to make an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar for the service. If you need a Apple Store - find a store - Apple. Check first to see if they can replace the drive for you. Unless you know how to disassemble your iMac and fix, I wouldn't recommend that you try. In regards to a disc, you should look into disk utility to see what is the serial number and the model for the wrong drive, if you can. Good replacements are made by HSGT. You may need a special connector to replace the disk temperature probe or your fan runs at full speed all the time. Looking for more information and tutorials at OWC.

    Almost all SATA III drives are compatible with SATA II disk controllers. They will work unless the model States that is not backward compatible.

  • No satellite P770-111 no SATA cable to connect the 2nd HARD drive

    Hello!

    I bought by Satellite P770-111 3 days and was hoping to insert another HARD drive that I had in my old laptop.
    OK, I opened the plastic cover on the bottom side of the laptop and there are 2 slots of HDD (2.5 ") but a single HARD disk.
    A HARD disk that is currenty in the laptop's big 500 GB. I would like to install another, but there is a problem:
    There is no cable to connect it to the motherboard SATA.

    Basically, there are 2 slots hard drive but only a connection interface. Could you please tell me how could I install a 2nd HARD drive?

    Thank you in advance!

    Damjan

    > there is no cable to connect it to the motherboard SATA.
    The fact is that not all laptops of the same series of notebook models are equipped with the same motherboard and controllers of same.
    This means that even if there is a second HARD-drive Bay, you will not be able to use a 2nd HARD drive. You know

    The chassis is the same in all models of laptops but there are different motherboards and not all supported 2nd controller.

    That's why I want to know is - this safe for the SSD or not?

    Hello

    There is no need in fact HP 3D DriveGuard for one SSD as there are no moving parts - this application is not relevant to a mechanical hard drive, where sudden movements, detected by the accelerometer cause the drive heads be "stored" in damage to storage media.

    However, as your machine has an "accelerometer" leaving this driver installed will not affect the function of your SSD and prevents the Device Manager appears an 'unknown device '.

  • Satellite A105-S4074 - which HARD drive for upgrade?

    I want to replace the Toshiba MK1234GSX (120 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA-150, 8 MB cache) hard drive on my A105-S4074 laptop with a bigger. My question is whether it is good to buy a Toshiba HDD no.

    Available on direct to my computer Toshiba laptop is only the following HARD disk:
    HDDR320I02X
    Toshiba 320 GB 2.5 "5400 RPM internal notebook hard drive - SATA"
    Capacity: 320 GB
    Interface: Serial ATA 150
    Speed: 5400 RPM
    Buffer size: 8 MB

    I wonder if such a 320 GB or 500 GB WD HARD or Momentus drive will work very well, for example
    -Western Digital 320 GB / 500 GB Scorpio blue SATAII 5400 RPM 2.5 IN. 8 MB in bulk / OEM hard drive (WD3200BEVT/WD5000BEVT
    -Seagate Momentus 5400.6 320/500 GB 5400 RPM / MIN SATA 3 GB/s 8 MB Cache 2.5 inch internal NB Hard Drive (ST9320325AS/ST9320325AS)

    Also, is it wise purchase a 7200 RPM HARD drive for this laptop? Would this work?

    Thank you

    Hello

    First on interface SATA there is no capacity limit. This means that you can buy each HARD drive with SATA interface and it should work fine.

    It is also irrelevant if you buy a Toshiba, Western Digital, etc. There is not much difference between the models. It of your choice what you buy! ;)

    Theoretically, 7200 RPM HARD drive should work but don t forget that they produce more heat and need more battery power. 5400 RPM should be sufficient for most applications.
