Can I use a second HDD in Satellite P300-27x?

Hello,

Thx...

Hi,
so my question has not been answered yet. Once again:
is it possible to use a second HDD in P300-27x???
Is there a second Sata-connector?
No, i can`t look inside, because i haven`t one. I would like to change my notebook (P300-20w, it is LOUD cause of GPU), but i need to know if it`s possible to use a second hdd in this model.
Maybe someone can give me an answer?
Thx

  • Can i put in second HDD into Satellite A300-1EG

    Hello,
    The question is can i put in second HDD to Toshiba A300-1EG notebook, there is a place for one as I found, and what HDD should it be, i mean 2,5" and etc?
    As I read, there can be no connection for HDD, all depends on model, how can I found out?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    You can check this yourself.
    Remove the plastic cover which secures the second HDD bay.
    If there are some HDD connectors then you could install an second HDD.
    If the connectors are missing, then you will not be able to use second HDD.
    I know its a little but confusing because of the second HDD bay but the point is that different A300 models supports different motherboards and not all motherboards are equipped with two HDD controllers.

  • Satellite A200-1S5 - Can I use a second HDD and RAID?

    Hi all,
    Is Toshiba Satellite A200-1S5 eligible for adding a second hard drive? It has RAID controller as far a I know - could it help?
    Thanks,
    Denis

    The Satellite A200-1S5 does NOT support RAID!!!
    But some A200 could use two HDDs (but NOT RAID!!!) There are different A200 models which supports different hardware specifications.
    Therefore you can find the second bay at the bottom of the unit.
    But if there is no connector for second HDD then this means that there is no second HDD controller and you cannot use second HDD in this A200!!!
    Bye

  • Satellite Pro P300-26U - Can I use a second HDD?

    Satellite P300 family support raid0 and double HDD. All model? User manual of 26U don't say any word about this. Model like P300-1BP has double HDD.
    Can someone help me? I want to buy a P300-26U in Italy.
    Thanks.
    Guido

    Hi
    The Satellite P300 series doesnt support RAID!
    There is NO RAID controller on the motherboard.
    But you are right; the Satellite Pro P300-BP supports 2 HDDs but this does not meant that it would support RAID!
    Furthermore you should know that P300 series supports different hardware specifications.
    This means that not all P300 would be able to use 2 HDDs!!!
    It could be possible that Satellite Pro P300-26U is not able to use 2 HDDs even though the Satellite Pro P300-BP support 2 HDDs.

  • Can I use the second HDD in a Mini for Time Machine?

    I am looking to replace one of the HDDs in a Mac Mini with an SSD, this would be for the main OS to work on and all my files, I am not a big advocate of spreading around my files over multiple data silos. I was wondering then, as I don't have a Time Capsule, whether it would be possible to dedicate the second HDD for exclusive use of Time Machine, backing everything up?
    I don't have a Mini at the moment and so don't know how OS X treats the existing setup, is the HD treated as one, or are the two clearly separate? It's a mystery to me why there are two in the first place, I summise that it was an attempt by Apple to create the illusion of a fater computer by adding in a small amount of SSD to complement the larger (and cheaper) HDD?
    Anyway, would splitting the two work and would it be easily achievable with existing tools in OS X?
    Thanks.

    Yes, you can use the 2nd HDD with Time Machine as your TM back up drive.
    As long as you are able to format your new SSD and the HDD, you can use them independently. I would advise using Terminal and the diskutil commands to do this as Mountain Lion 10.8.3's GUI Disk Utility will see the SSD and HDD as needing to be "fixed" (drives marked in RED) and if you choose to FIX the drives your two drives will automatically be setup as a Fusion drive and all data on the drives will be lost.

  • Can I build in second HDD on Satellite P200-1I4?

    Hi!
    First of all sorry for my bad English. =((
    I have a toshiba SATELLITE P200-1I4 and question is: can I install one more (additional) HDD. Or there is only one SATA slot in this laptop? Unfortunately laptop is not near me now, and I can't remove back panel and see it.
    On Toshiba web site I can not find information about it.
    Some more information:
    SATELLITE P200-1I4
    S/N: z7269306k - M/N: PSPB3E-0J601MRU
    Thanks, and i am hope all written above is understandable. =)

    Hi
    I agree with the user above. Please have a look under the cover for second HDD slot to check if there is a second HDD connector or not. This takes only few minutes.
    If yes you can ask your favorite computer store to get an additional HDD.

  • Can I use a second Airport Express unit to printe wirelessly?

    I have an Airport Express unit connected to my amplifier and my modem in order to listen to music wirelessly.  I would like to use my Cannon ip4300 printer the same way.  Can I use a second Airport Express unit to connect the printer to my modem?  If so, how is it done?  I am concerned about a conflict between the two Airport Express units.  Thank you.

    I do just this with a ip4200 printer - you "extend" the Airport network with the second Airport then plug the printer into the USB port, (you could plug it into the USB port of the first Airport as well)
    In the Airport utility (use 5.6 or 5.6.1) select the Printers tab and it should be there.

  • How can i use a second external webcam on my MacBook Air 11

    How can I use a second external webcam with my MacBook Air 11" 2011?
    Are there specific compatible webcams?
    Can both cams be use at same time?
    How would I choose which cam would be the active one, for example with FaceTime or Skype?
    Thanks for any tips.

    paolo@spring wrote: How can I use a second external webcam with my MacBook Air 11" 2011?...
    Plug it in and launch the app you will use to run it.
    paolo@spring wrote: ...Are there specific compatible webcams?...
    Yes.  In general, any current USB model (will meet the "UVC" standard) can work on any Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.8 or newer.
    More specifically:
    (1) You have a choice of many Mac-compatible USB cam.  Some examples of current compatible cams are described at  http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/.
    (2) If you want a wireless cam, consider http://ecamm.com/mac/webcam/bt1/
    (3) OS X already has everything it needs for Mac-compatible cams.  I recommend that you not add any OS X software that comes with your chosen camera to your OS X Mac, at least until you have tested your new cam without adding anything.
    paolo@spring wrote:... Can both cams be use at same time?...
    Multiple cameras can be connected at one time, but asking your Mac to actually use (capture and process) more than one video stream at a time might cause processor and data bus capacity problems.  The normal method is to connect your cameras and switch between them as needed, actually using only one at a time.
    paolo@spring wrote:... How would I choose which cam would be the active one, for example with FaceTime or Skype?...
    The software you use to operate the cameras controls that.  For more info, start with the answer in this topic link.

  • Second HDD on Satellite X200-15K

    Can I add a second HDD on this model? There is space, but no adaptation.
    Thank you

    Do like I did...
    I have a X200-1AA. Same problem. Room for 2nd HDD, but no controller.
    I teared the computer apart, soldered a thin USB cable to the internal connectors of one of the USB Ports of the X200.
    Then, found a way to pass the cable, got a SATA controller from an external 2,5" HDD case, and fitted it in the 2nd HDD compartment.
    Took me about 2 hours.
    I installed a 100Gb 7200 RPM (Seagate Momentus) for the OS as primary HDD. An putted the stock 320 Gb as 2nd HDD.
    Works great, but to be honest, I didn't find a dramatic improvement with the 7200 rpm drive.

  • Satellite A300-15M - Can I install a second HDD?

    Hi there.
    I own a SatelliteA300-15M. I bought the laptop 2 years ago. I have already 250GB hard drive which came with the laptop. Recently I got my laptop serviced from local shop. I noticed that it has an additional slot for another hard drive. I saw a post that some of the A300/A305 laptops have the space for second hard drive but not the connectors.
    If anyone owns A300-15M can they please tell me if i can install a second internal hard drive in my model? Is there a sure way to find if I can really install a second hard drive?

    Hello
    > but not the connectors.
    So the case is claer: If you dont have a second SATA connector, you cant install a second HDD.
    Check also the forum regarding such questions. The point is that one notebook series (e. g. Satellite A300) is always equipped with the same case but the hardware is different. So not all models have the same features. ;)

  • Satellite X200-245 can i install a second HDD

    on satellite X200-245 : can i install a second hard drive ?
    is it possible ?
    There is a place for it but no sata connection on the mother board where can i find this connector

    No you cannot install the second HDD because there is no HDD connector which would allows to connect the HDD to the mobo.
    And No, its not possible to upgrade the mobo with such connector.
    The X200 has the two HDD bays because some X200 support 2 HDDs and some dont support it.
    Your X200 doesnt support 2 HDD

  • Satellite P205-S6337 - Can I install another second HDD?

    Totally need another HDD for music/other files.
    Really don't want to buy a dock such as.. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/drives/a7ea/.
    Is it possible that I can install a second SATA HD on this notebook?
    I'm not too good with working with notebooks really.
    Anyone have any instructions on how i would do this?
    And how to install another GB of ram?
    I have both on my old notebook.

    Hi
    Did you check your user manual?
    Usually the user manual provides already such infos.
    Im not quite sure if an second HDD could be possible. Check bottom of the unit.
    Some series are equipped with a second HDD bay. You could try to remove the plastic cover which secures such HDD bay and could check if there are some HDD connectors which would make the second HD upgrade possible.
    It seems that this notebook was also equipped with 2GB RAM So it could be possible to upgrade the RAM up to 4GB. But in my opinion its really not necessary to have 4GB RAM inside if you are using the Windows 32bit OS.
    The point is that your 32bit OS can use max 3.2GB RAM due to the 32bit limitation.
    So if you want to upgrade the RAM then I would recommend taking 1x 1GB and 1x 2GB RAM module.

  • Can I use additional internal HDD for my Satellite A200-1A9?

    Hello, new to these forums,
    I recently bought the A200-1A9 and I'm very pleased with it. I was interested in adding an additional internal HDD to the exisitng 120 GB one . I obviously didn't do enough research as I bought a Toshiba MK2035GSS: 2.5" HDD 200 GB thinking it would slot right in the spare slot and it doesn't.
    So really I'm looking for some advice on if I can add an extra internal drive and if so what model and how. After taking of the back slot cover there does look to be room for another drive although I'm not sure if the correct connections are there or maybe if the space is used for somthing else.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Martin
    As far as I know some A200 models are delivered with 2 HDDs. because of that Toshiba make standard notebook chassis. All A200 models use this standard chassis. Your A200 is delivered with just one HDD and because of that place for second HDD is empty. This does not mean you can use second HDD.
    I have the same notebook as you and in my case there are no any HDD connectors prepared for second HDD.

  • Can I use iMac's HDD as a second, bootable drive for new PC?

    When I replace an old PC with a new PC, I always keep the old HDD around in case I need to boot into it for some reason. I simply plug it in, select it as the boot drive, and it's sort of like using my old PC again.
    Can I also do this with my iMac's HDD and a new PC? So I could effectively dual boot between my existing Windows OS on my PC's SSD, and OSX using my old iMac's HDD?
    When I do this with two HDDs each using Windows, all the drivers for the new hardware "plug-and-play" the first time I boot with the old HDD, so input and display works. I'm not sure if I'll have the same luxury in this scenario or if I'd need to pre-load new drivers so OSX works with the PC's hardware. My iMac has a AMD (well it was still ATI back in 2009) Radeon HD 4850. I had this same card in an old PC so I would hope the display would still work as well, or worst case scenario I could simultaneously use the iMac HDD with the Radeon 4850 in a PC.
    I have a lot of computers sitting around and I'm moving soon, so I want to consolidate what I can so I don't have to take so much with me when I move. My iMac's display is no good (barely functional, definitely not pretty) so I don't want to keep the big iMac around anymore if I can just keep the little HDD.
    Of course I back up important files and can always read the HDD from a PC, but I'm interested in seeing if I can still use the drive for booting into OSX.
    I'm sure someone's tried to do this before, but my searches turned up with nothing. I'll greatly appreciate any guidance, suggestions, or general thoughts about how I could achieve this. I don't mind getting my hands dirty if a solution exists but isn't simple. Thanks in advance for your input!

    Hi, are you talking about removing the drive from the iMac to use in a PC?
    If your talking about booting the PC into OSX, then google hackintosh.

  • 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
