  • Pavilon 500-319na can I install a second hard drive

    pavilon 500-319na second hard drive
    Options 
    ‎01-02-2015 09:30 AM
    Operating System: Windows 8.1
    I bought an HP Pavilion 500 - 319na desktop in summer and want to install a 2nd hard drive. There are spare connections on the board and the power cable to the internal hard drive has a spare connection. From what I read it needs to be SATA 3. I have read conflicting advice on this board.  Some say yes, some say no.
    OK, there seems to be only one bay (a poor oversight by HP) but provided I find a way of securing another drive is there any reason why it should not work.
    From what I read it should be max 2Tb's.
    I want a definitive answer please!
    Win 8.1 64 bit.
    This is the hard drive I plan to buy.  The spec says XP, Vista, Win 7, but am I right in thinking it should work with win 8.1

    As I said to you in the other cross posting (desktop hardware):
    You can obtain 3.5" hard drive cage from here for $11 shipped.  Granted it has a 120mm fan and space for 4 drives, but for the price, you can mod/cut all you want.
    Now your other issue/question:  You will want a SataIII 6GB/sec drive 2TB, 7200 RPM.

    Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 320-1130a Desktop Computer. No, you can't install a second hard drive in this computer. The HP TouchSmart and All-in-One computers have more in common with laptops than they do with desktops.

  • Can I install a 1TB Hard Drive into a late 2007 17" MacBook Pro?

    Can I install a 1TB Hard Drive into a late 2007 17" MacBook Pro currently running a 160 GB Hard Drive?

    It depends upon exactly what you want to do with your Mac.  My old Late 2007 17" MacBook Pro only has 4GB RAM and it works fine.  It is a little slow if I am doing anything involving heavy computing (rendering video, compiling programs, etc.) but it works just fine.  In most cases, the increased RAM will help performance, but the cost can be fairly high with an older machine like you have.

  • Can I install a bigger hard drive on my HP Laptop dv9230us

    Can I install a bigger hard drive on my HP Laptop dv9230us

    Yes and in fact it can accept 2 hard drives. Any 2.5 inch wide SATA laptop hard drive 9.5 mm thick will work and those are available up to 1.5 TB I believe. To add a second hard drive you need a caddy and connector piece sold here:
    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=131
    There is a link on the page above which will lead you to installation instructions.
    If you can give us some idea of what you are looking to do, we can link you to specific places to buy drives at good prices.

  • Can I add a 2nd Hard Drive to my new Pavilion dv6 notebook?

    I would like to add a 2nd hard drive (preferably SSD) to my "HP Pavilion dv6-6188ca Entertainment Notebook PC"
    I am hoping there is an option to at least replace the DVD drive with a hard drive caddy?
    What are my options?

    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.

  • Can I install an internal hard drive in i-mac intel 17" ?

    Where can I get an internal hard drive compatible for intel i-mac? I need a larger hard drive, like 250gb or something. Can I install it myself?

    You can go to a apple service center like CompUSA and have them install one for you. If you buy the drive from them, they will install it for free, otherwise it is like a 40 dollar charge. DO NOT attempt to install it yourself, not only will you void your warranty, the intel iMac is very difficult to open and work on and you will probably break something.

  • Can I install a SECOND HARD DRIVE (ssd) on my x220i

    For some reason I'm having problems finding the answer to this.  I would like to install an ssd, but I would like to keep the existing hard drive for space.  Is the a way to install a second hard drive (an ssd) into the x220i?
    Thanks for any input!

    You can install an SSD drive in the mSATA card slot.

  • Can I install an additional hard drive to my Macbook Pro? (2 Hard drives)

    I was wondering whether I could install a second hard drive to my 2011 Macbook Pro (2.0 GHz, 500GB HD 4GB Ram) making a total 1TB hard drive space?

    There are third party solutions out there, however be warned they will most likely void any current warranty - as it involves removing your optical drive.   I don't have details on them myself, but when my apple care expires I might consider that on a Late 09 model and push it to dual SSD's

  • CAN NOT INSTALL ON THIS HARD DRIVE

    I am currently running 10.3.9 on my 450 Mhz G4 which has 640 MB SDRAM but when I try to install my Tiger CD's (actually looking for the Archive and install option) I get a message that I can not "install Tiger on this drive". I own the CD's and actually have installed them on my wife's mac mini, so I know that the CD's are good. Thoughts anyone?

  • Can i install sata III hard drive?

    Hi, i've an iMac G5 20" iSight with an intel core duo 2ghz. I would like to know if  i can install a sata III hard drive like 128GB Crucial m4 2.5" SSD.
    Thx a lot.

    First, you do not have an iMac G5. G5s are PPC machines, but yours is an Intel model.
    You can install a SATA III drive but I would not spend the money since your model only supports SATA I or SATA II depending on which model you have. I would also be careful about using Crucial SSDs because they may not all work in a Mac. I would get your SSD at OWC instead. You will find their equivalent product for SATA I or SATA II here. I have two of these drives, and they are excellent.

  • How can i install a sata hard drive in my compaq nx6110

    There is a rediculously small hard drive installe in my laptop 40gb. I want to install at least a 240 gb but only can find sata drives that size. How do I go about installing the sata drive.

    You cannot install a SATA drive, and you can't go up to 240
    because the BIOS is not "48 bit" compatible.
    This limits you to 137 GB or less. There are plenty of 120 GB drives
    on Ebay for pretty good prices; just search this phrase:
    "2.5 PATA 120"
    Good luck

  • Can i install a second hard drive for back up/storage

    i have 1td already and could exchange my mac mini for the server editions but im told its much more complicated
    i just want to have enough drive space, is it possible to get another hard drive and have it in the mac mini for back up / storage
    or would i simply be best to get a USB hub with an external drive  ?

    Yes, you can add a 2nd drive. You can review this iFixit.com page for instructions. You would need to purchase their data doubler kit which would include all the parts you need to add it. All you need to remember is to follow their instructions and TAKE YOUR TIME.   There are several little screws and plugs that you have to be careful with. Otherwise, it's a breeze to take the Mini apart and add a 2nd drive.
    All the Mac Mini Server has extra is an additional 1TB hard drive and the OS X Server app. If you want OS X Server, you can purchase it on the App Store for $19.99 US.
