Is second HDD in Satellite A300D possible?

Hello.
I found in the laptop compartment for a second hard drive, but did not understand whether it pop in a second hard drive.
Maybe someone is trying to turn. Thanks in advance.
PS: Sorry for English - interpreter)

Hi
There are different A300D on the market with different motherboards and different hardware specifications. But the cover and the bottom is always the same.
Therefore you can find an second HDD bay but not all A300D models would support the second HDD.
You can try to remove the cover which secures the second HDD bay to check the HDD connectors. If there are no connectors, then the second HDD is not possible!

  • Second HDD for Satellite P200D possible?

    Hi, got a Satellite P200D which I've been very happy with, but need more space - is it possible to either fit a larger primary drive (curently around 200GB) or a secondary drive in the spare bay. If secondary drive is viable option, what leads, connectors, mounts etc do I need?
    Thanks in advance

    If you dontt have such a connector, you cant install a second HDD. Furthermore you cant buy such a SATA connector because they are fixed/soldered on mainboard.
    So your only option is exchanging the HDD with another model. As I wrote you can take a 500GB model. It must be a 2.5 HDD with SATA interface.
    I can recommend a Western Digital Caviar Blue series. Thats a good compromise between performance and noise.
    But of course, Toshiba HDDs will work too. ;)

  • 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.

  • I need to plug second HDD in Satellite A300-14V

    Hello!
    I am using A300-14V and now I need to install second HDD. But 2.5 HDDs have different height from 9.5mm to 12.5mm which one right for my Satellite A300? And I will need to buy also a slide rails.
    Could somebody please clarify that it is and give me its part number?
    Thanks.

    Hi!
    > I have a second HDD connector but I have not something to fix HDD on the place which is called a fixing rail or slide rail
    For this contact the nearest ASP. They can order all necessary parts to fix the HDD in the second HDD bay.
    On the Toshiba website you can search for an ASP:

  • Second HDD in Satellite X200-21K (PSPBUE)

    I'm looking for some informations about installing second HDD into my laptop.
    Laptop does have an "empty/spare" bay for second HDD, but there are no disk connectors in bay. So there is no easy way for upgrading.
    So I've looked over the net, and as far as i know i have two options:
    1) Buy appropriate hdd connectors and 2.5" HDD. Take appart my laptop, connect cables onto motherboard and install second HDD in empty bay.
    Q1) Does X200-21K motherboard have second (spare) SATA connector? I assume that motherboard have only two SATA connectors (one for HDD, and one for DVD).
    Q2) Is possible to connect two hard drrives onto one SATA motherboard connector?
    2) Replace DVD with HDD
    Q1) Is this possible? Did someone alreary replaced DVD with HDD?
    I've seen on internet that this is possible on MacBook, and on some other laptops/notebook (HP,...)
    Thanks for answers

    hi petrusko_1,
    i cant believer that there is space for a second hdd without connector...are you sure?
    can you upload a picture?
    - to your first question: do you have the whole number at hands (starting with PSPBUE-)?
    this number indicates what hardware/software is inside (ram, hdd, grafics etc)
    - second one with the sata issue: one connector = one drive
    if you are shure that there is only one connector in your machine you wont be able to connect 2 drives to this single connector.
    soldering another connector to the mainboard is dangerous and its doubtful that it will work afterwards....
    your idea with using the second connector of the odd (optical disk drive) isnt bad...
    maybe it is a baymodule available where you can put in the sec. hdd and install it to the odd bay....
    btw: the sata controller doesnt care if there is a hdd or odd attached....

  • 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.

  • Second HDD sleep... possible?

    Hi!!

  • 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 A200-27R - Second HDD possible?

    All the best Dave

  • 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

  • Does Satellite P70-A-129 support the second HDD/SSD

    I recently bought this model P70-A-129 from Greece, and i am wondering if it accepts a second HDD / SSD drive.
    I opened the underneath cover and there is a second connector but i don't know if it is connected to the Main-board.
    Can you assist me by telling me if this model can manage a second drive?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Its easy to test this
    You can try to connect the HDD placed in the first HDD bay to the 2nd HDD controller in the 2nd HDD bay. In case the BIOS would recognize the HDD properly, the upgrade should be possible.
    Please check also this Toshiba Satellite P70 / Qosmio X70 HDD replacement procedure.

  • 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 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 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.
