Can I add a 2nd HDD on my Satellite A300-02C?

Hi all,
I'm wondering if it's possible to add a 2nd hard drive in my A300-02C?
There is a 2nd HDD slot, but no sata connector on the PCB (see picture link).

I'm wondering if it's possible to add the connector (by myself or by the toshiba customer service).
If someone knows if it's possible and where can i buy the sata connector... Please leave a comment :)
Adrien.

I think there is nothing you can do about it.
Satellite A300 is delivered with several different hardware configurations and several different mainboards. I really don't believe you can add it additionally.
For exact info contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask for help.
If someone has experience with this stuff then Toshiba service technicians.

  • Can I install a 2nd HDD in my Satellite P200-10C?

    Hi
    I have a Satellite P200-10C which I want to upgrade with a 2nd HDD. I called a Toshiba representative who told me my model doesn't support an other HDD. But then again, why does it have a place in the back of the laptop for a 2nd one?
    Could some one tell me if it can be used to accommodate a 2nd HDD.
    Thanks in advance
    Gerardo

    @Jayjay
    I finally decided to open the compartment for the 2nd HDD of my Satellite P200-10C. I discovered there the modem (I think) and enough space to accommodate a HDD but alas! No connector for the HDD. I think that settled the matter. I can not have a 2nd HDD. Unless of course someone in the future find a way to attach a connector.
    Thanks for your answer, Jajay

  • What is the maximum HDD size for Pavilion DV7-3105ea and can I add a 2nd HDD.

    Hi,
    Please could someone advise me as to the maximum HDD size that can be installed in a Pavilion DV7-3105ea.
    Additionally is it possible to add a second HDD.
    Thanks and kind regards,
    jB

    There is no theoretical limit the only limit is what is sold on the market. Any correctly sized SATA laptop drive will work. They do now make 1TB drives that will fit and yes there is a secondary hard drive bay so theoretically you could have 2TB of storage. You are going to need 1 or 2 drives like this:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152291
    The drive has to be 9.5 mm in height some 1TB laptop drives are too thick.
    You also likely need a second hard drive caddy/connector like this:
    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=222&zenid=2a83d0d222d80c6...
    And here is a link to the Manual showing how to get to the hard drive bay:
    Drive Manual
    Check your system to see if a secondary drive caddy/connector is there but it likely is not and you need the part linked above. Good luck.

  • Can i add an internal hard disk in Satellite A300-20P

    Satellite a300 20p has 2 places for hard disk
    Can i add another one beside the existing one?

    Hi
    You can check it yourself.
    There should be an second HDD bay.
    Remove the cover from the second HDD bay and check if there is an HDD connector (pin).
    If you will not find any connectors then this would mean that an second HDD controller is not available and the usage of 2nd HDD is not possible.
    Cheers

    It appears that you did not understand the post that I made.
    If you purchase a high end notebook that has a chipset with sata controllers that support SATA3 then SATA3 devices will run at SATA3 bandwidth. Your notebook is not one that does.
    It would not matter which brand you chose.
    If you decided to economize and purchase a mainstream notebook, then the issue would still be the same.
    Notebooks are not created equally. It is the same with desktop PCs.
    That is why each manufacturer has a tiered structure to accomodate the economic means of the target market.
    1) Entry level (basic chipset and CPU)  $
    2) Mainstream (mid level chipset and mainstream CPU)  $$
    3) High end.  (high end chipset and high performance CPU, wifi adapter and even SSD hard disks)  $$$

  • Can I add a 2nd iCloud account on my Mac?

    Can I add a 2nd iCloud account on my Mac?

    You could use one at once and keep switching between the two, but it would be rather messy. You can also add more than one @me mail address to mail. You could also use seperate user accounts for each iCloud account. If you tell us why you would want to have two iCloud accounts on one mac we might be able to give better advice.

  • How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account on the same computer?

    How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account to the same computer?

    I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them.  I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
    I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory.  I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods.  [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
    I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

  • Bought a DV7t with 7200 RPM Hybrid HDD; a) Can I add a 2nd SDD drive or b) 2nd HDD ?

    I bought a DV7T QE with a Single 750GB HD. Question:
    1) Can a SDD be added, given that HP doesn't give this as an option, yet it should be possible
    2) If a 2nd HDD is added (assuming same manufacturer as 750 GB HDD), HP originally offered this configuration and allowed Intel SMart Response mSSD option - Any instruction on how to add 2nd HDD and then turning on the mSSD Intel SRT ?
    Thanks
    V

    Hi,
    1. Yes, you can add SSD as the second harddrive on your machine,
    2. If adding SSD, you better swap it to be your FIRST harddrive and if that was the case then mSSD Intel SRT became useless, no need to have mSSD Intel SRT because I've got REAL SSD.

    You could put your install disc on a USB Flash drive with Disk Utility. Also, here is the USB optical drive enclosure I bought. He raised the price a few bucks. Mine ran $10.00 with the shipping.

  • Satellite Pro A300D - How can I add a second HDD?

    Hi there guys/gals,
    I noticed that my Satellite Pro A300D has an extra HDD slot on the right hand side but no hard drive case and no screws and the cover has pointy things on this
    How can I get hold of these so I can add an extra HDD .
    Many thanks.

    No. It has its sata connection.
    I just need to know where I can find the part numbers or buy the parts from such as the hard drive cradle and cover piece.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - Can I add a second HDD?

    Hi Forums,
    I have a A300 PSAGDA-02000R and was wondering if is possible to add a second HDD to it. after I removed the panel to inspect where the second HDD goes I discovered that there was no connectors, so I was wondering if you can purchased or have Toshiba install a second set of connectors?
    any answer would be great
    thanks F1R3F1GHT

    > after I removed the panel to inspect where the second HDD goes I discovered that there was no connectors, so I was wondering if you can purchased or have Toshiba install a second set of connectors?
    There are no connectors and this means that there is no second HDD controller on the motherboard and this means that second HDD is not possible.
    This means also that its not possible to add any connectors or any controllers to the motherboard
