Satellite X200-219: Can I add a third HDD

Hi
First can I say great laptop (although more frequent display driver updates would be nice :D).
So, I was kicking about the Intel Matrix Storage console being nosey, and it turns out I have one unusued port (port 1).
Does that mean it's possible to add another internal hard drive to my laptop?
Or is it wishful thinking on my part?
Another question: is there any room for a third HDD in any case?
Thank you!

Hi
I have talked to an notebook technician and the third HDD is not possible
The notebook was equipped with a 2 HDDs and this is a max what is possible
Dont know what you mean by one free port but there is definitely not a third SATA HDD controller
Greetings

  • 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 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

  • Can I add an external HDD Drive to my Satellite L300-110?

    How can I add an external HDD Drive to my Toshiba Satellite L300-110 laptop and does Toshiba supports adding such type of HDD Drives to the laptops?

    Hello
    External HDD can be connected to every PC or notebook. External HDD will be connected to USB ports. On this picture you can see how it looks like.

  • Can I add a third internal hard drive?

    I have a G4 Quicksilver with the original 80 G drive, and a second internal hard drive of 100 G that I added to the Drive Position 3 slot several years ago.
    I would like to add a third internal hard drive (video files, backup, and all that) using Drive Position 2. I have looked all over the web without a clear answer. Is it possible to add another ATA internal drive, or must I settle for an external drive via Firewire 800?

    Well, I can explain what each option will do for you, but it all depends on what you need and what you are willing to spend.
    The quickest and easiest option is to use the ATA-3 bus. If you are streaming video directly to the drive and need something fast, then I wouldn't recommend this. But if you are using it as storage for video files, then this would be fine. Basically the ATA-3 bus is not high performance and will show through to be a little slower, but for storage this isn't really an issue. It depends on what you are using it for...
    The next easiest option would be to buy an external firewire drive. Since you already have the firewire 800 card, you may as well get one. Firewire 800 is pretty fast, boasting an 800 mbit/sec (or 66.6 MB/s) transfer speed. It will probably seem pretty similar in speed to the internal drives. The only drawback is that it is external...some people don't care about externals, but for me, I like it all internal. No fuss. But that's up to you. I had a firewire drive for a little while, but the enclosure failed in a year so I just pulled the drive out and mounted it internally. Runs a little faster now...
    The last option would be to pull one of your PCI cards and get a ATA or SATA controller card. This is the most expensive option, but would probably be the highest performer. Drives hooked up to a controller card will seem a little faster, but for the most part will be pretty similar to your main ATA bus. The bus is not the problem and has never been the problem-the drives themselves are the bottleneck. Think about it this way: A drive has a peak transfer rate of 150 MB/sec (just for illustration.), and is connected to a bus that can transfer up to 300 MB/sec. How much speed will you gain if you move the drive over to a bus that can transfer up to 9,999,999,999,999 GB/sec? Haha. None! The bottleneck is the drive transfer speed, not the bus transfer speed. So the speed gains you will get from a controller card will be minimal, unless you get faster spinning drives (7,200, 10,000 or 15,000 RPM drives). The main way a controller card allows you to speed up transfer rates is by setting up a RAID. I doubt you want or need a RAID, and can cost a lot, so I won't go into that.
    Just remember that the controller card is basically overkill if all you need is one extra drive. Either hook up a drive to the ATA-3 or go with an external firewire drive since you already have the firewire 800.

  • Satellite Pro A300D - How can I add a second HDD?

    Hi there guys/gals,
    I noticed that my Satellite Pro A300D has an extra HDD slot on the right hand side but no hard drive case and no screws and the cover has pointy things on this
    How can I get hold of these so I can add an extra HDD .
    Many thanks.

    No. It has its sata connection.
    I just need to know where I can find the part numbers or buy the parts from such as the hard drive cradle and cover piece.

  • How can I add a third line of text to a title?

    I am making a music video for my highschool students to teach about recycling and I want to add a title to the bottom with the song title, the name of the ficticious band and the ficticious record label.
    I have tried to add the third line of text, but I can't seem to figure out how. the title needs to be superimposed on the actual video, so adding in a clip created in photoshop or something won't work. Think about the titles you'd see at the begginning and end of a music video, and that's pretty much what I am going for.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    PS this is my first post and my first mac, so be gentle

    It does.
    The whole trick is to use a transparent background and using .png as file-format for your superimposed graphics:

  • Satellite X200-219 overheats while gaming and shuts down

    Ok I originally lived in the UK, where I bought a Toshiba X200-219.
    Since then I moved to the States, and have the laptop plugged into a surge protected extension cord, attached to plug converter.
    Once the warranty expired on the laptop, I upgraded to 4GB of RAM, and switched out both hard disks to Seagate 320GB 7200rpm drives.
    Now ever since I moved to the States, the laptop has been overheating, more and more frequently even *before* I upgraded the components; this has usually been happening whilst gaming. I have been regularly blowing out any dust that might have settled inside the vents with compressed air
    But this time it's different. I was playing Red Alert 3, and it did it 3 times. When the laptop over heats, I have to remove the power cord and then reinsert it before switching it on. Except the final time I tried that, the laptop didn't start. There are absolutely no signs of life from the thing, even after cooling down for the past 2 hours. There aren't even any lights acknowledging that the power cord is plugged in. Oh and I've replaced the fuse so it can't be that (the battery is in the back in this instance)
    In the UK the laptop ran at a normal temperature. Over here it was running hot to touch, and the fan was screaming but it was manageable.
    It ran even hotter on the odd game I was playing but not whilst en/decoding movies.
    Please don't let this become one of *those* threads where everything fizzles out and I don't get an answer. Any ideas please?
    Happy holidays folks

    Hi
    Overheating is a serious issue because a high temperature can damage the internal parts.
    The internal temperature increases to a higher level because all devices like CPU and GPU are running with high performance while gaming.
    In such case the cooling module fans should rotate faster to ensure that the warm air would be blow away
    In many cases the cooling modules cannot work properly because the dust and debris clog up the cooling grilles or there is not enough thermal grease between the cooling module and CPU or GPU.
    Furthermore its not recommended using NON-Toshiba graphic drivers because such non Toshiba graphic drivers are not designed for the notebook usage and can lead to such overheating issues.
    You should also ensure that there is enough free space around the notebook. This is important for properly fresh air circulation.
    But of course an faulty cooling module could be also responsible for such overheating issues and in such case ONLY the ASP would be able to help you.

  • Re: Satellite X200-22E - Can I use Vista 64bit BIOS for Windows 7?

    Hello!
    Can I use the Vista-64 bit BIOS-Update 2.50 for my Satellite X200-22E? I just installed Windows 7 HOME PREMIUM 64 bit and it works fine.
    Before this I had XP-32 bit running.
    Thank you in advance!
    Tom

    I have a X200-20S and am running Windows 7 64bit with BIOS Ver 2.5 for 32bit Vista. If I try to install ver 2.5 for 64bit Vista I get an error message which tells me the ROM image is identical to the one already installed!!! I can only assume that the installer software can't distinguish beteen the 32 and 64bit versions? Not sure what the difference is but I haven't had any problems with Windows 7 so far apart from the subwoofer not working.

  • How can I add a third e-mail address to a submit button?

    Right now it's only limited to two addresses.
    The form in question is here: http://www.ucmexus.ucr.edu/resources/Final_Narrative_Report_CONACYT.pdf
    I need to add a third person to the existing addresses in the submit button.
    Using Acrobat X Pro.

    To bcc out of acrobat is going to be very tricky as you will have to run a script in order for the form to identify the bcc line. It will look something like the following. You will have to pair this script with a button to intialize the event script. I will chaeck and see if there is a script for acrobat but your best bet is to go the livecycle route.

  • What is the maximum HDD size for Pavilion DV7-3105ea and can I add a 2nd HDD.

    Hi,
    Please could someone advise me as to the maximum HDD size that can be installed in a Pavilion DV7-3105ea.
    Additionally is it possible to add a second HDD.
    Thanks and kind regards,
    jB

    There is no theoretical limit the only limit is what is sold on the market. Any correctly sized SATA laptop drive will work. They do now make 1TB drives that will fit and yes there is a secondary hard drive bay so theoretically you could have 2TB of storage. You are going to need 1 or 2 drives like this:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152291
    The drive has to be 9.5 mm in height some 1TB laptop drives are too thick.
    You also likely need a second hard drive caddy/connector like this:
    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=222&zenid=2a83d0d222d80c6...
    And here is a link to the Manual showing how to get to the hard drive bay:
    Drive Manual
    Check your system to see if a secondary drive caddy/connector is there but it likely is not and you need the part linked above. Good luck.

  • Can I add a 2nd HDD on my Satellite A300-02C?

    Hi all,
    I'm wondering if it's possible to add a 2nd hard drive in my A300-02C?
    There is a 2nd HDD slot, but no sata connector on the PCB (see picture link).
    http://www.notebookreview.com/picture.asp?f=36752
    I'm wondering if it's possible to add the connector (by myself or by the toshiba customer service).
    If someone knows if it's possible and where can i buy the sata connector... Please leave a comment :)
    Adrien.

    I think there is nothing you can do about it.
    Satellite A300 is delivered with several different hardware configurations and several different mainboards. I really don't believe you can add it additionally.
    For exact info contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask for help.
    If someone has experience with this stuff then Toshiba service technicians.

  • Can I add a third party filter (ASFROC) to the filter sub-folder of Photoshop Elements 13?

    I have been using a third party filter (Applied Science fiction R-O-C (now Kodak)) with Photoshop elements 9.  After upgrading to Elements 13 I would like to continue using the ASFROC plug-in filter.  Can I just add it to the Filter sub-folder in Elements 13?

    I believe the problem is those filters are 32 bit filters and you most likely have the 64 bit version of photoshop elements 13.
    The 64 bit version of pse 13 requires 64 bit filters, so you wouldn't be able to use the Kodak filters in pse 13
    Which operating system are you using?
    If windows, is your windows system 32 or 64 bit?
    (the mac version of pse 13 is always 64 bit)

  • Can I add a third DHCP server to a WLAN interface?

    I'm running a system that requires a third (and potentially fourth) DHCP server to be setup on each network in my network. 
    The first two devices are Windows DHCP servers serving IPs from different address ranges for failover. The third DHCP is just a listener to receive OS information and device names to be logged in a database.
    Currently this works like a charm for my wired clients as I can add in the third and fourth ip helper-address on each vlan and the information is received by the listeners.  However, I cannot find anywhere in my WLC5500 to setup these extra two DHCP helper addresses.
    The wireless vlan on my layer 3 switch has all the ip helper-addresses, but this doesn't seem to work, and the devices just use the DHCP servers set on the interface in the WLC.
    Is this possible?

    You can disable dhcp proxy on the wlc (as long as the wlc is not doing dhcp). This way you can set your ip helpers on your L3 interface.
