Can I add 2nd Hard Drive?
First, I have an HP Pavilion computer and I don't have any knowledge of how any RAID stuff works.
I want to add a second hard drive, but my computer came with no hard drive cage for me to add an additional hard drive. It more or less looks like this.. (image taken from google image) ![]() My primary Hard Drive is screwed to the front end of the chassis, vertically. There's no space to set it horizontally, but there is space vertically for another hard drive (I think.) But I don't know where I would screw in the 2nd hard drive securely (no hard drive cage.) BTW, I contacted those HP bastards online (twice) and they said I can't install a 2nd internal HD and that I should buy an external... There must be a way (that's also safe?), any ideas? Most amazing jew boots |
It'll just be additional storage. The floppy casing would be a really tight fit (or not fit at all.)
The only reason I'm trying to go with internal is because I thought it's cheaper and has faster transfers. Is that right? Anyone have suggestions of a good external drive? I might as well look them up to see what suits me best. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I just now tried to slide my current hard drive into the floppy drive. It won't fit in either. There's a metal thing that keeps it from sliding in properly. If I force it in, it'll put pressure on the hard drive itself. Not good.
I'll look into getting an internal with an external enclosure. I'm not too familiar with those. Will I have to use USB for file transfer or are there some enclosures that has SATA? I'm looking for data transfers that won't be too much slower than my primary hard drive. Thanks for all your help, BTW. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
