DV7 Second HDD
Hi,
I have the DV7 4020sa With 1 500gb HDD. I want to utilize the second HDD bay what cable do i need to connect the second HDD and where do I get one from?
Thanks
This is what you need. Several people here have purchased this and reported back favorably. It is not a genuine HP part, but this is the leading maker of hard drive caddies for laptops and I have purchased from them for years:
newmode.us
The price is very reasonable; likely less than the HP part if one were available.

Second HDD DV7-6052ea​.
Hi,
I would like to install a second HDD cable into my new DV7-6052ea computer. I have done some research and believe I need to purchase the following part
641306-001 Hard Drive Hardware Kit.
I can see that it is orderable on the USA part surfer website, but it is not in the UK. I have contacted all the UK resellers in the UK listed on the website but all of them have responded saying they can't find the part.
Does anyone know where I will be able to order this part from in the UK?
RegardsCheck this place for your caddy.

Their parts are as complete as HP would sell you for a fraction of the price. -
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 connectorNo 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 -
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?

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 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.

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

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,
DenisThe 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!!!

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.

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

Satellite P300-20H - Second HDD caddy
Satellite P300-20H, PSPC8E
This laptop has a second HDD bay and a second drive works in the bay.
I have tried in vain to find a HDD caddie for the second HDD bay, can anyone point me in the right direction for the part number or a shop that sells them.
ThanksI have upgraded brothers P300 with second HDD but I didnt use HDD bay. I have just fixed second HDD to stay in the same position with piece of plastic so that HDD will stay in place.
You can also contact Toshiba service and ask for help. I am pretty sure they have such HDD bays used before and can imagine you can get one.
Visit also eBay/notebooks and check for Toshiba hard drive caddy. I saw several bays there. -

How to install a second HDD in Stelllite P200D
I want to install a SSD and move my HDD into the slot for the second HDD. I can't find any document how to install the second HDD. Do I need special adapter or any HW to do that?
kind regards FrankHi
At the bottom of the unit you can find two HDD bays. Right?
But one of the bays does not contain any connectors? Right?
At the first look this might be a little bit strange but fact is that different Satellite P200/P200D models were available on the market with different motherboards.
Some would support a 2nd HDD but some units dont. But all models supports the same bottom covers and some people think that an 2nd HDD would be possible which is wrong.
