  • No idea why access is that slow. The controller should be able to support much faster than that.

  • Can I also add SATA2 HDDs or are they different ?

    Is there a limit to the HHD's speed - can I use both 5400 and 7200 RPM ?

    awesome video, thnx! :D

  • Thanks Efi4ltis!

    For most of the dv9000 series, you will have to slow a 3.0Gb/s SATA drive down to 1.5Gb/s.

  • imma buy me one and add it to my hp pavilion dv 9910us and also did you know nvidia gefroce go 7150m 64 mb will run crysis at good frames at lowest settings

  • sorry, don't know the answer to that one.

  • Fuck. Why the need for a harddrive caddy HP? Now I have to go out an buy a stupid caddy JUST so I can use my 2nd HD. Shame on you HP.

  • Thanks I've followed your instructions. The drive I have installed is a Hitachi 250GB Travelstar. Unfortunately the write speed is in the region of kb/s not mb/s. How do I speed it up -- any ideas?

  • question ?? In order to upgrade the main HD ( C drive ) is their any formating that needs to be done or does the main OS stay on the computer and all i need to do is switch HD.. plug and play ??

  • How do i boot from the second harddrive bay?

  • Precision Division in Florida repairs laptop motherboards. Most repairs cost about $125.

    There's a great Q & A at PrecisionDivision . com

  • Very helpful thanks!

  • Is that a special size SATA HDD, like in inches? I have an HDD that came from an old laptop. It says ATA/IDE, I guess that will not work, huh?

  • how many GB this hard drive has?

  • im sorry but u really sound gay with that 2.5 in micropone
