Re : T400 2764CTO, 2nd HDD Adapter for an Ultrabay Slim, to be used in the DVD bay

What is the part # for the 2nd HDD Adapter for an Ultrabay Slim, to be used in the DVD bayCan you also confirm it is a SATA connection, I have already been sent an IBM P/N 41U3148 which has the IDE connection and appears not to fit.
Thanks for help

Actually, it is entirely accurate. Here is another related thread with a lot of pictures that demonstrate the problem. I have 3 Lenovo W520s and 3 useless Lenovo Ultramedia bay adapters. I cannot tolerate the gap because it causes frequent drive dismounts when I pick up the laptop when it is running or even touching the side. The newmodeus adapters I purchased to replace the defective Lenovo adapters have been rock solid! I recommend visiting all the picture links on this thread. It will clearly demonstrate the problem:

Shan, it isn't entirely correct because we have a lot of W510 and W520 users in my company this doesn't occur with. I am not discounting the problem. I only take exception to the statement that blankets ALL users and ALL hard drive adaptors. Doing that is incorrect.

Maximum supported HDD size for HP Elitebook 8440p runing Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit

Hello, I've just purchased an HP Elitebook 8440p "Off Lease" from Tigerdirect and am looking to upgrade both memory (from 4 GB to 8 GB) and put in the largest allowable HDD I can. Either a 512 GB SSD or a 1TB WD Hybrid WD BLACK2 (1 TB HDD / 120 GB SSD Combo drive in One Package!). I would appreciate knowing the Largest Addressable HDD using Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit OS since I don't seem to able to find that info on the web. HP only offers only a 256 GB SSD in its Specs. but I wasn't sure if that was do to BIOS limitations or availability at time of production, same for HDD at 512 GB.
Also, I would like to know if the Drive Bay's 9.5mm compliant which it needs to be for the WD drive. Can't find that either and while the new laptop has yet to arrive, not everyone measures precisely the same way as to what will work and what just can't be "cheated".
Thank you for taking the time to read this and ANY information along these lines would be Greatl Appreciated!

Hi,
You can install 1TB HDD or SSD (even more), no problem. Many SDD's now are thinner than standard 9.5mm but they normally come with with plastic or even metal part(s) to raise up to 9.5mm standard. FYI: few days ago, I installed a Crucial 960GB M500 SSD to one of my laptops to test Windows 10, it has a metal frame which allows it to fit nicely on a normal laptop HDD bay,

Hi,
The drive on the link below is an example of one that would be fine for your notebook as long as it is the same capacity or larger than your current HDD.

The procedure to replace the Hard Drive is detailed starting on Page 51 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Once done, simply use your Recovery DVDs to reinstall the Operating System on the new drive.
If you don't have your Recovery Discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

Can't get hdd bay out of H330 chassis

I am trying to remove the hard disk drive from a H330 desktop chassis. I removed the optical disk drive, and have removed the 2 screws for the hdd bay that the hardware maintenance manual references. But the hdd bay does not "slide out and lift" as the manual says it should. It is stuck fast to the chassis and does not budge in any direction. Is there some trick that the manual fails to mention??
Thanks,
NK1995

hi NK1995,
Welcome to Lenovo Forums,
Can you also check the procedure here

DV7 3085DX 2nd HDD Bay

I have been having a look at my DV7 3085DX and see that it has a second hdd bay but no connections to plug a 2nd internal hdd in.
Is it possible to add the connectors & activate the 2nd hdd bay? If so how can it be done?
Also I have noticed that connections exist inside for a tv tuner, is it possible to utilize this connection?
Any help or answers greatly appreciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Yes on at least the hard drive and theoretically yes on the tv tuner although that is pricey. You need the module and a special cable. I cannot find the part on the internet or this site but you could maybe call HP or even look on ebay. Here is the part you need to add a second drive. It is the caddy and a connector cable.

T520 with HDD Bay adapter

Hei there,
i have seriously problems with the Ultrabay HDD SATA adapter in my new T520. I have a 500 GB Toshiba disk in it and all works fine until i set the machine in sleep. (Close the lid or something else).
After powering up the notebook again the disk is disappeared. And there is obviously no power on the disk either. I have already tried a lot of things to get it back but nothing helps. The only way to get the disk back is to power down the whole machine, remove the adapter, put the adapter back and power on again.
I tried to use the diskupdate.exe in scheduled tasks - it doesn't help.
I tried also to put back the DVD-drive and change the power setup there for the bay - it doesn't help either.
I tried to copy the DVD-link with the power on option on the desktop and use it against the HDD-Bay adapter, nothing happens.
As it is now, the Harddisk is quite useless. Every time when i set the machine in sleep i'm loosing the harddrive connection and have to reboot all. Does anybody have any ide how to solve this problem?
Much thanks for any help
Florian

There have been other threads on powering the Ultrabay. But I am not sure if the solution for this was covered. You could look.
I my opinion there should be a BIOS setting to keep power to the bay all the time. I did see PowerManagement for DVD powered but whether it would help the drive is doubtfull. The Sata is not a hot plug drive and requires a reboot to rediscover it hence the BIOS should maintain control.
Just check and there is "Automatic Power off Optical drive" Enable/Disable in PowerManager under the Systems settings pull down.

Envy 17-2100ed hdd-bays

Just 2 quick questions:
Has the HP Envy 17-2100ed got 2 hdd-bays?(of which, I suppose, one is already used by the standard hdd?)
AND
Is it easy to add an ssd drive to the above machine.
Thanks in advance!

Yes. Two hdd bays are available. You will need to purchase a:
Hard Drive Hardware Kit (not illustrated, includes primary hard drive bracket and
cable and secondary hard drive bracket and cable)
603772-001
Installing this is pretty straightforward as some SDD's come with cloning software. If you want to speed up your Envy17 you can use the SSD as a boot disk. The best source of information on how to do this will come from the forum of the manufacturer of your SSD. My own preference is OCZ for performance and their outstanding warranty and service.

HDD BAY SIZE

Ive been looking for a few days and cant seem to find my answer. What is the HDD Bay size for my Toshiba Qosmio x875-q7190. I want to see if this will fit in before i order it.

Laptops use 2.5-inch drives. This one will fit just fine.

Satellite A300 - Questions regarding second HDD bay

At the underside of the laptop there is an empty bay for a second internal hard disk.
It's at the bottom left side (the first internal hard disk exists on bottom right side) and the bay has a sata connector.
The plastic cover of the empty bay has extended columns so nothing (not even a hard disk) can be positioned inside.
Does anybody know :
-If the sata connector is working
-If I can connect a secondary internal hard drive that co-work with the primary one
-Where could I order the bracket for the secondary hard disk (i.e. the toshiba code)
-Where I could order a plastic cover without extended columns, bcz I don\t want to break them.
If my question is not clear, I can upload a picture.
Thank you in advance

Additional information (good news) after some testings:
I connected my primary HDD to the second SATA connector and worked fine. Actually it was recognized as HDD2 and everything worked fine. That means that the second SATA connector works fine and a second HDD can be connected.
The questions that remained answered are
-Where could I order the bracket for the secondary hard disk (i.e. the toshiba code)
-Where I could order a plastic cover without extended columns, bcz I don\t want to break them.
Thanks in advance

Satellite A200-1M8 and second HDD bay

Hallo, i want to install a second internal hdd drive at the hdd2 bay, but when i opened the bay i noticed that there aren't any connectors installed.
So what is the point of a second hdd bay if there are no connectors inside?

Hi,
The point of that bay is, IF you purchase a model with a second HDD equipped then there would be a connector, but if purchased a model with only ONE drive equipped then you just will have one drive since the connector for the second HDD was not soldered on the mainboard of your model type.
Easy and simple. If you want to have a second drive then you will have either:
- solder a connector to the mainboard which causes the revocation of your warranty and does not mean that you can use a second drive since you will need the appropriate BIOS Rom
- purchase a USB-HDD and accept your situation :/
Thats all.

MSi GT60 0NE Which HDD bay that supports port SATAIII?

Hi,
I'm going to upgrade my notebook MSi GT60 0NE with OCZ Vertex 4 (256GB) will it be compatible with my notebook?
And which one is the HDD bay with the SataIII / Sata3 ?
Is it the one with a purple circle or the yellow one?

Quote from: Hearny on 15-May-13, 08:42:03
Hey Jim,
From what I have read/heard from MSI reps in Aus, the model (same as which I am importing) will not come with the RAID0 adapter, it is capable but the bridge will need to be bought separately. It should have one SATAII port which the 750GB RPM HDD will be mounted and nothing in the SATAIII bay. Making it quick and easy to drop in a single SSD or purchase the RAID bridge and some mSATA SSD's. I still havent decided if I will go single or RAID yet :P
Svet and Darkhawk are a wealth of information in these forums, so if I'm wrong they will be happy to assist with any more questions
Hearny
CORRECTION: "It should have one SATAII port which the 750GB RPM HDD will be mounted and nothing in the SATAIII bay." This information is not from MSI reps this is from a local MSI retailer, where the tech said he only had to fit the RAID0 adapter, no mention of moving 750GB RPM HDD to the secondary bay.
As far as I'm aware, this information is true. This is similar to how my laptop came configured, except I had the model with the RAID adapter and a single SSD installed.
The only thing I'm not 100% sure of is if they include the second (SATA III port) board. I would ASSUME they do, but I do not know this for sure that they do as I haven't bought one without the RAID adapter.
From a personal standpoint, I really enjoy the raid adapter. It's a great feature, and really provides tremendous performance in a very small package. I took the 128 GB SSD that came with my laptop out, bought a mSATA to SATA adapter and gave it to a friend so he could use it in his desktop. I then put 2 x Mushkin Atlas Deluxe 240 GB drives in my laptop, and it performs exceptionally well with 0 problems.
Just my thoughts.....

Is there still any hope to have virtualization feature for my compaq 620 energy star notebook?

Dear HP Support,
it looks like that the motherboard of my compaq 620 energy star notebook doesn't support virtualization technology, even though replace the processor with one with virtualization feature, my notebook still can't have virtualization feature. moreover it is said the CPU socket type of notebook is soldiered to the motherboard, so the processor of notebook can't be replaced. if this is the case, it seems that i can't replace the processor of my notebook.
am i correct? is there still any hope to have virtualization feature for my compaq 620 energy star notebook?
thanks,
q.s.
This question was solved.

The processor can be upgraded; it is socketed. However, virtualization must be implemented in the motherboard and BIOS and without that, upgrading the processor will do no good. Which processor do you have?
Here is the Service Manual:
Manual
See page 120....virtualization is possible on some models but I am going to assume only the models with a Core2 Duo processor. Celeron and Pentium Dual models use a different chipset on the motherboard so even if you put in a Virtualization capable CPU it would not work.
