But space may be a problem in some computers, there just isn't enough room for all these drives. What if the computer case doesn't have room for all this? Well, it is true you do need sata ports for each drive, but there are addin cards with more ports.

Why fight your computer to fix Windows when you don't have to? And why hold your breath while installing images? (They have been known to fail) And why risk installing Windows on the wrong drive? (Been known to happen) I just pop out the other hard drives while I am installing Windows on the drive I want. If windows ever crashes or doesn't run well I just pop that hard drive out then in the time it takes to slip in another drive with the operating system I am up and going again. Why do this? I have several drives for data storage, and a couple for operating systems that I have already installed. That's 5 hard drives I can copy to and from. I found a unit that can hold (3) hard drives in the space of two drive bays. Which means I can copy from one hard drive to another.
Now we can pop hard drives in and out directly from the front of the computer - just like changing disks on DVD writers.Īnd this, is what a hot-swappable dock is. It stays there in the front of the computer case. Now what if the case we put our hard drive in, has an opening on the front? And a lever/button? Now you're talking! So we put the case where the DVD writer was. What if we could take the DVD recorder out of our computer and instead put the case with our hard drive where the DVD was? But all we have done is to move the hard drive from inside to the front of the computer case, still need to have a way to take the drive out from it's case if we ever need to. But that's lame, so let's do something better. Picture taking your internal hard drive out of the computer and putting it in a case, then connecting the case to a port on the back of your computer, either usb or sata. I got a Cooler Master case which comes with (2) hot swappable front docks. Myself for instance, I tried and I failed big! This is what I did. Plus, some of us were not put on the earth to be handy with tools/ connecting internal things in computers.

I have also tried different monitors, but "no signal." i have tried installing a second hdd still nothing, the cables seem to be connected properly i even inserted the dell driver utilitries disc, yet nothing. And mind you i dont hear or see anything from the HDD to indicate its working. Now nothing, the monitor shows nothing, as to see any picture but the monitor will indicate, "A no signal" but when i hit the power button on the tower to restart, only at the very first 2 seconds the monitor will show, "the computer is trying to communicate", then back to "No signal" I can hear it turn on with the fan, and maybe the sound of what might be booting but thats it, no picture signal or anything else. Finally after a dozen tries i decided to power down the desktop and by holding in the power button and unplugging it after.

Then unfortunately i decided to restart the pc and when i did it would not go past the DELL intro screen with many attempts in 1 hour time between each attempt. scared and not wanting to loose all my info and memory stored i patiently waited and 4 days later the monitor was the same.
Still the screen read the same "Do not power off or unplug from power source until installation is complete". I turned the monitor off and on, nothing. i pushed different button on the keyboard and nothing. Next day, about 30 hours later still on the same screen except i notice the tower wasn't making any noise indicating it was doing "Anything" not even the fan. about 4 hours later i came back to my pc and the screen showed the same screen as before, "Do not shut off or disconnect from power, downloading". I tried 10 and didn't like! So iI tried to recover by switching back to windows7 which was an option one the menu, the pc began the process "this may take some time".
