How To Install Second Hard Drive Dell Xps 8300 Specifications
How To Install Second Hard Drive Dell Xps 8300 Specifications Rating: 7,7/10 9588 votes
Hi, I hope you'll be able to help.
I have a 7 year-old Dell XPS 430 with the following specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q9400 (2.66GHz, 6MB, 1333MHz)
8GB (2GB x 2) DDR3 PC3-12800 Unbuffered RAM
Seagate Barracuda (ST3750630AS) 750GB (7200rpm) 3Gbps SATA 100 Hard Drive RAID 0
PSU 425W
My question is: can I add a second hard drive? There is a space for one (in a vacant flexibay) and I've located a drive via the Dell website, which indicates compatibility with the XPS 430:
Origin Storage Hard Drive 1TB SATA 150 (Dell Part : A7201339)
Is this feasible?
Thanks and regards,
Martin

Hi Current hard drive in Dell Dimension 8300 has broken down and needs to be replaced. Some of the Sata Driver Diskettes you need to supply XP during install crash on old XP Pro yet work on XP Pro SP2. The interface for the Western Digital drive is given in the specs as serial ATA-300.

I am planning to get a Samsung 850 evo 250 GB for a Dell XPS 8700 with Windows 8.1.
My Questions Follow
What bracket will I need?
What SATA Connector Cable should I use?
Which SATA port should I plug it into?
Do I need any screws and power connectors?
How do I properly install Windows 8.1 on the SSD (My guess is to unplug the HDD, install windows, then plug in the HDD but do some stuff in the BIOS).
Thanks
