S-ATA Harddisk box...thing

Yeah this is quite hard to explain. Well.. i got this HP laptop, which has the ability to have two hdd's init.. Only one by default. Well.. I bought it used btw. I started out with switching the default 150gb with my 300gb hdd, but i also wanted to use the 150gb one, so i figured i'd plug it in the other storage but then i saw that i was missing the little 'case' or 'box' that you put laptop hdd's into before plugging them into the laptop.. i was also missing a little plug which you put on the harddisk so it will fit into the laptop if you know what i mean.. i find it really hard to explain lol.. anyway... i was wondering if anybody knew what those things are called and/or where to get em..


Thanks

 

Try newegg.com, search for external HDD casing. I know what you mean, it is a caddy for secondary hdd, but I think it would be easier if you use an external casing.

 

hmm
are you certain i cant get it for like internal? external quite ruins the point of it, if i get you right when you say external

 

You can get it internal, but I think the caddy is very specific to the laptop maker. It will be a bit harder to find. So if HP has somekind of a place that sells parts, you can try that. Or maybe you can try google for HP parts. Or try eBay.

 

Well, I tried again, and I found this. I don't know which model you have, so you'll have to decide.

 

Hey thanks man.
http://www.excelcomputerinc.com/html/details.asp?ref=551&category=caddys seems to be what im looking for.. cant find my specific model number but it is DV9332 or something. I think 9330 is the same so yeah..

Hmm out of stock tho.. I wish i could find something in my country denmark :\

 

One that fits any of the DV9XXX series should work.

 

I just ordered an HDD caddy today for my DV9700. Which notebook do you have?

Now i just need to figure out if I need a 3.0 gb or 1.5 gb Sata drive. No need to order a more expensive one of the laptop can't handle the higher speeds.

 

I have a D9332ea. Hmm.. I guess i just gotta order from the US and wait the time.. is newmodeus.com also american?

 

I have an extra DV9000 series casing. PM me for pricing/ shipping if you want it. I have all of the screws for it as well.

 

I PM'ed you some days ago.. Awaiting responds ^^

That's where I ordered my caddy and connector from.

 

what you need is a hard drive enclosure for the internal hard drive.
