Pavilon 500-319na can I install a second hard drive

Operating System: Windows 8.1
I bought an HP Pavilion 500 - 319na desktop in summer and want to install a 2nd hard drive. There are spare connections on the board and the power cable to the internal hard drive has a spare connection. From what I read it needs to be SATA 3. I have read conflicting advice on this board. Some say yes, some say no.
OK, there seems to be only one bay (a poor oversight by HP) but provided I find a way of securing another drive is there any reason why it should not work.
From what I read it should be max 2Tb's.
I want a definitive answer please!
Win 8.1 64 bit.
This is the hard drive I plan to buy. The spec says XP, Vista, Win 7, but am I right in thinking it should work with win 8.1

As I said to you in the other cross posting (desktop hardware):
You can obtain 3.5" hard drive cage from here for $11 shipped. Granted it has a 120mm fan and space for 4 drives, but for the price, you can mod/cut all you want.
Now your other issue/question: You will want a SataIII 6GB/sec drive 2TB, 7200 RPM.

I have an HP Pavilion 500-267c, can I install a second hard drive in this PC ?

My XP tower is no longer working but there is some information on the hard drive that I would like to retrieve, my present
PC uses Windows 7 operating system. Can my old hard drive be installed into the new HP without ruining the new
computer or the old hard drive ?

Yes, this assumes that the old XP hard drives is healthy.
You may use a USB external hard rive caddy for the old drive or you can directly connect it through the SATA port on you MoBo on you new computer. 99% of the time there will be extra power connections from the power supply on your new machine to power the old drive.
All this assumes that the old drive is SATA interface _ it may be IDE, in which case you would need an adapter to hook it directly to the new computers MoBo.
I don't believe there are any IDE USB external hard drive caddies, although you may want to check to be sure.
The one on top is SATA and the bottom is IDE.

Can you install a second hard drive on a Touchsmart320-1130 PC?

This question was solved.

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 320-1130a Desktop Computer. No, you can't install a second hard drive in this computer. The HP TouchSmart and All-in-One computers have more in common with laptops than they do with desktops.

Can I install a SECOND HARD DRIVE (ssd) on my x220i

For some reason I'm having problems finding the answer to this. I would like to install an ssd, but I would like to keep the existing hard drive for space. Is the a way to install a second hard drive (an ssd) into the x220i?
Thanks for any input!

You can install an SSD drive in the mSATA card slot.

Can i install a second hard drive for back up/storage

i have 1td already and could exchange my mac mini for the server editions but im told its much more complicated
i just want to have enough drive space, is it possible to get another hard drive and have it in the mac mini for back up / storage
or would i simply be best to get a USB hub with an external drive ?

Yes, you can add a 2nd drive. You can review this iFixit.com page for instructions. You would need to purchase their data doubler kit which would include all the parts you need to add it. All you need to remember is to follow their instructions and TAKE YOUR TIME. There are several little screws and plugs that you have to be careful with. Otherwise, it's a breeze to take the Mini apart and add a 2nd drive.
All the Mac Mini Server has extra is an additional 1TB hard drive and the OS X Server app. If you want OS X Server, you can purchase it on the App Store for $19.99 US.

Cannot find a mounting to install a second hard drive in my Qosmio x70-A

I have looked all over the internet and have gotten no where in my search for a mounting for the secondary hard drive bay in my laptop. Anybody know where I can get one?
Also I've included pictures of the secondary drive bay and the primary bay. From the looks of it I can't use the same type of mounting in the secondary bay as in the primary.

I have the same issue, and have found Toshiba support to be completely unacceptable on this.
After getting bumped around from sales to tech to sales because "we don't answer that question, you have to talk to the other guy", I finally got a "straight" answer from sales:
"Sir, we DO NOT sell that part, and therefore I CANNOT tell you a part or model number for the part you may need to install that second hard drive. The only thing you can do is talk to our parts supplier over at National Parts (1 800 524 8338) and ask them to provide you with the model numer or sell you the part."
At this point, I was annoyed, but thought that at least with a straight answer I could proceed.
After a very short hold time with National Parts, a very kind associate answered the phone and listened to my tale of woe. Unfortunately, she was unable to help and said:
"Unfortunately, sir, I have listed that while there is no caddy for the second hard drive slot on you X70-A specific model, there is supposed to be a mounting bracket. Unfortunately, we have been trying for MONTHS to have Toshiba give us the part number, spec, or any other information other than 'mounting bracket', and therefore I'm afraid we have neither a part to sell you nor a part number for you to go looking for one".
At this point annoyance is full-blown anger. How is it possible for Toshiba to make something that should be SO SIMPLE so VERY VERY VERY complicated and impossible.
"Sorry, if you didn't want to spring for the dual drives when you bought it, you're hosed forever sucker." Does not seem like an excellent customer service strategy.
This was the FIRST Toshiba I'd ever decided to spend my hard-earned money on, and now it's a machine I can't upgrade because they can't get their act together with their parts supplier or in-house over a 3 dollar bracket?
UNACCEPTABLE.
The pictures the original poster shows are exactly what I have, no need to add more o fthe same.
ANY help, Toshiba?

You could put your install disc on a USB Flash drive with Disk Utility. Also, here is the USB optical drive enclosure I bought. He raised the price a few bucks. Mine ran $10.00 with the shipping.

Can I install a bigger hard drive on my HP Laptop dv9230us

Can I install a bigger hard drive on my HP Laptop dv9230us

Yes and in fact it can accept 2 hard drives. Any 2.5 inch wide SATA laptop hard drive 9.5 mm thick will work and those are available up to 1.5 TB I believe. To add a second hard drive you need a caddy and connector piece sold here:

Installing a second hard drive in a G4 - advice needed please

Hi......
I have a G4 Quicksilver (2002) model and I also have a G4 Digital Audio model as well which is currently surplus to requirements.....
I would like to take out the 20Gb hard drive from the older G4 and put it into the Quicksilver as a second internal hard drive (for extra storage capacity....)
I have seen the instructions regarding installing a second hard drive and it doesn't seem to complicated....
I just want to check because the 20Gb hard drive has the operating system on it for the older G4.....
Do I have to fire up the machine and erase the hard drive and then take it out and put it into the Quicksilver...?
Or am I able to simply take it out, put it in the Quicksilver and erase it when I restart the machine....?
I don't have the original installation discs for the OSX...
I talked to a Mac technician at work and he said I can just take out the 20Gb hard drive and put it in as a 'slave' drive and I have to 'bend some pins' (I think he said) when I install it.........and I can then erase the second hard drive and use it as storage.....
any advice would be greatly appreciated.....
Thanks

Hi, craigkelleigh -
Ony many drives the label showing jumper pins configurations will be on the end of the drive, just above the block of pins; on other drives it may be on the top, rarely on the bottom.
The block of jumper pins is at the same end of the drive where the data cable (wide, flat ribbon cable) and the power connector plug in.
It is best to move the jumpers before installing the hard drive - they're quite small and hard to manipulate in a confined space. Important - do not move jumper pins if the drive is powered up (running).
As far as removing and installing the drive, you can view/download a how-to PDF or movieclip from these pages -
G4 (Digital Audio) - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75313
G4 Quicksilver - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75314
In addition, with regard to specific jumper positions, that depends on the make (and sometimes the model) of the drive. There are some resources available on-line, such as jumper diagrams for specific drives. If you would give us the specific make (manufacturer) and model number of your hard drive (that info should be shown on labels affixed to the drive), we may be able to direct you to a specific website page with that info.

Installing a second hard drive in a G10-133

Couple of questions for you...
I'd like to install a second hard drive in my G10-133. Specifically I'm looking at a second 80gig drive (MK8026GAX). Does anyone have experience of installing a second drive like this?
Secondly, I know where to buy the drive from. But, does anyone have any advice about the drive carriage itself (ie. the bit of kit which holds the drive in place in the bay)? Specifically, where can I get one?
Cheers everyone.

Hi Andrew,
Ignore Markus, you dont have to install the same size HDD in order for it to work. Your Qosmio shipped with an 80GB, you can put a 100GB if you like or a 20GB doesnt matter, aslong as you, as Markus correctly states you set the jumper correctly.
For the HDD to be fitted, you need the mounting brackets, try someone like Hugh Symons or CBC Computers, Google it for details.

Installing a second hard drive in my HDX16 - Manual says yes, but I don't see a slot

Hello,
My HDX16-1200 manual says I can support a second hard drive, however I opened up the computer and do not see a spot to mount the drive.
Does anyone know where the second disk gets installed?
Thanks.

I've been finding some great instructions on how to install a second hard drive in my PowerMac G5, but been unable to find some instructions on steps after that that assist my low tech-intelligence quotient. I'm planning on getting a Western Digital 750GB Caviar SE16.
Basically my questions are:
1) Once I've installed a second SATA internal hard drive, do I have to wipe the entire contents of my first hard drive and reformat the Mac completely? Or can I just format that second hard drive and have it work seamlessly with my current configuration?
2) I understand I can partition a second hard into more than one volume. I'd like to be able to use the second internal drive, but also have the increased reliability of RAID. Can I create a RAID array on that drive as well? How might I do this without screwing up?

Installing a second hard drive in g5

hi. i just bought a 400 GB hitachi desk star hard drive to install as a second drive in my G5. i slid it in the alloted slot and plugged in the corresponding cables. when i powered up my computer i went to disk utilities and it showed no new drives. anybody know what i'm doing wrong?
also, i couldn't find and screw holes or anything to secure the drive in the slot that's there for it. any way to keep the drive from wiggling all around in there?

Can I install an additional hard drive to my Macbook Pro? (2 Hard drives)

I was wondering whether I could install a second hard drive to my 2011 Macbook Pro (2.0 GHz, 500GB HD 4GB Ram) making a total 1TB hard drive space?

There are third party solutions out there, however be warned they will most likely void any current warranty - as it involves removing your optical drive. I don't have details on them myself, but when my apple care expires I might consider that on a Late 09 model and push it to dual SSD's
