You can not. The W520 has only one full sized mSATA slot.

  • Can I install two regular (non SSD) drives on an iMac?

    I noticed that you can configure an iMac to come with one regular hard drive and one SSD drive. I was wondering if you could install two regular drives instead? I would like to use one hard drive as a back up drive but in order for that to work they both would need to be about the same capacity.

    There simply isn't enough room for two regular sized (3.5 inches) harddisks.
    The SSD has a size of 2.5 inches and for that there seems to be enough room for that size.

  • Can I install a super drive dvd buner?

    I have a G4 (466 MHZ) I would like to buy a digital movie camera and make DVDs on the computer from video I have taken. I do not have a dvd burner in the G4.
    My question: Can I install a super drive or use an external dvd burner with the current computer?
    Thank you.
    G4 - 433mh   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Fred's reply is 2007 , but a few years ago, I used my ol' reliable friend, my Cube/450 for creating DVDs.. it needed a looooong encoding time (usually over night), but it does work ...
    but...
    with 10.2, use old versions of iDVD (4 or 2...)
    don't upgrade to QT 7...
    be sure, the internal drive has allways 10, better 20GB free....
    and, iDVD≤5 does not support external, firewire connected burners... so, if you're able to use a screwdriver, install any nice Pioneer at a free internal IDE connection; or, dare to use a 'hack', http://patchburn.de/ (english spoken), to teach iDVD4 to use external drives...
    ... that's all not state of the art, lege artis ... but... for less than 50$ you get a DVD-burning Mac..
    ... a slow burning Mac ...

  • Can I install a mSATA ssd in my HP ENVY 17t-k000 CTO Notebook PC?

    Can I install a mSATA ssd in my HP ENVY 17t-k000 CTO Notebook PC? Added a 250 gb SATA sdd and 8 gb memory chip today but could not find any way to also add a 250 gb mSATA sdd. I looked on the front and back side of the system board.
    Should I return the Samsung 840 EVO mSATA SSD I bought from Newegg?

    The Service Manual is no help whatsoever. It says an M.2 mSSD is supported on "select models" but there is no picture of it in the Manual or indication where it is on the "Select Models". Those that do have it use an M.2 version (three connector prongs not 2) so your 840 Evo would not work even if you had one of the "Select Models". I believe on those that have it the M.2 port is right on the motherboard so if you do not see it there you are not among the select.

  • How many IDE drives & CDrom can be installed with SATA drives??

    How many IDE drives & CDrom can be installed with SATA drives??
    i have 2 IDE hard disks & 2 CDROM drives: can install SATA hard disk added to these drives or do i have to remove some???
    & if it can be added, can i install 2 SATA drives???
    THX in advance

    The 3 versions of this board that are available are:
    875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0)
    875P Neo-LSR (PCB 1.0)
    875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0)
    All of these boards will have the following ports provider by the chipsets ICH5R south bridge.
    2 x SATA (Supporting 2 SATA HDD drives)
    2 x PATA (Supporting 4 IDE devices)
    All 6 of these can be used at the same time (provided you are using win XP or 2K) you just need to make sure yor BIOS is set right.
    ->INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS
    ->ON-CHIP IDE CONFIG
    ATA CONFIG: S-ATA ONLY or P-ATA ONLY
    S-ATA/P-ATA KEEP ENABLED: YES
    OPERATE MODE:
    If you set to "legacy mode" S-ATA are set to channel 1 and 2 and P-ATA to channel 3 and 4. If you set to "native mode" P-ATA are channel 1 and 2 and S-ATA 3 and 4. You can only use the raid functionfon SATA in native mode.
    If you have the 875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0) you will also have the following ports provided by the Promise PDC20378 PCI controller:
    2 x SATA (Supporting 2 SATA HDD drives)
    1 x PATA (Supporting 1 Master IDE HDD drive)
    The PATA port is limited to 1 Master HDD by the lite BIOS. This can in theory be upgraded to the full BIOS supporting a master and a slave, but this may obviously void your warranty.
    So the answer to your origional question is:
    2 x SATA HDDs and 4 x IDE HDD/CDROM if you have 875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0) or 875P Neo-LSR (PCB 1.0)
    or
    4 x SATA HDDs, 1 x IDE HDD (2 if you modify the BIOS) and 4 x IDE HDD/CDROM if you have 875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0)

  • How can i install two copies of bejewelled hd onto my iPad

    How can i install two copies of Bejewelled HD onto my iPad

    There is no way to accomplish this on an iPad, which is not designed as a multi-user device. As Tom said below, you'll have to contact PopCap and urge them to come up with a multi-player version of the game. I'd suggest you not hold your breath waiting, though, knowing PopCap and how slow they are to update their games.
    Or, of course, you can just get your wife her own iPad.

    Tried installing Illustrator CC but ran out of disk space on primary drive... how can I install on secondary drive?

    Run_Esperanza how much space do you still have available on your primary drive?  It is possible to customize the installation destination within the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  You can find more details at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
    Please be aware that you will need disk space on the primary drive to installed shared components plus contain the temporary files for installation.

  • Can I install two different iPhoto applications on the same Mac?

    Can I install two different iPhoto applications on the same Mac?

    Please explain in more detail what you are wanting to do.
    Do you want to have two different versions of iPhoto, have two different Libraries or Share iPhoto with multiple users?
    Two different iPhoto versions (06 and 08, 08 and 09 for examples) is a problem and I say no because the older version can not use a Library that the newer version has modified. 
    For iPhoto support articles, see >  Apple - Support - Mac Apps - iPhoto
    To Share a Library with other users, see > iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users

  • Lenovo b560 can't install nvidia display driver

    hello i've learned that lenovo b560 computers got 2 graphic cards one is intel hd graphics other is nvidia 310m but i can't install the nvidia driver it always gives the no compatible drivers found error :/

    hi Frost1,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The B560 with Intel+Nvidia graphics uses the Nvidia Optimus Technology to switch between the Intel GPU (for power saving) and the Nvidia GPU (for applications that requires more processing power).
    If you have Windows 7, try the following:
    1. Restart the machine and hit F8. On the menu, select "Disable driver signature enforcement".
       - Sample image
    2. Install these drivers then reboot:
    1st:   Intel Onboard Graphics Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit)
    2nd:  NVIDIA Display Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit)
    If you still get the error, can you PM me your serial number or indicate your machine type (e.g., 0679-3JU) to check the PC specs.
    Regards

  • Can I install a mSATA as a primary drive on my C560?

    Hi all, I Just want to check if it is possible to install a mSATA SSD on my system. There is one port that appears to be a mSATA slot but the screw position holes are not there.
    Anybody have any clues?

    hi moonbugs,
    Yep, That's definitely a MPCIE used by SSD 
    But I strongly suggest you have a detection test first before you buy an SSD
       If you know someone or you can bring this system in a store and have an SSD tested out to it first.
    Since this port is meant for a TV tuner card and the models released does not offer SSD.
       this Port might not support SSD signaling and may fail on detecting an SSD Card.
    Again Test out a borrowed card first before you buy one.
       But I assure you the port is a MPCIE.
    Regards
    Solid Cruver

  • Can I install 2 hard drives in my HP Pavillion p6650z?

    We need to get a new hard drive, and I want to migrate EVERYTHING on the original hard drive to the new one--not just files, but the OS and programs as well.
    My question: Can I simply install a second (internal) hard drive inside the case of my p6650z?
    That would make everything easier--I could then migrate everything on the old hard drive, to the new one.
    I could then remove the old hdd or keep it there.....
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    HERE is the user and servicing guide for that.  The hard drive section starts on page 17.  It appears there is room for two hard drives in the drive cage.  There are four SATA ports on the motherboard, so that looks good to go, also.
    If you expect to "move everything over to the new drive" - I would using a cloning software and just make the new hard drive the boot drive.  Once you are satisfied with that and everything looks good to you, reformat the old drive for data usage.  IMHO, clone the old drive to the new hard drive using either the cloning function available from hard drive manufacturer's site or use Acronis, then unplug the old one to make sure you have what you think is booting to the new hard drive to verify the new drive is good and has everything as you want.  Then do whatever with the old drive for data.
