Hdd Caddy İşlemci Kullanım Sorunu

BIOS and universal SATA/PATA converters

One of the most common problems is that your laptop is not recognizing the second hard drive or SSD in your laptop with a universal SATA or PATA HDD Caddy. This is caused by the BIOS (“software” that communicates with your operating system and hardware) of your laptop. Initially a second hard drive was not an option for most laptops. Some BIOS were not designed to work with a HDD Caddy. Problems that can occur are for example:
- Different than an optical drive a HDD Caddy does not eject a tray. Normally the optical drive sends a signal to BIOS to let it know that the optical drive is closed and the computer is allowed to read the optical medium. If this signal stays “open” than the hard drive in the HDD Caddy will not be read.
- Related the problem above. The HDD Caddy can work in some laptops but causes unnecessary CPU usage during idle because the signal cannot be closed. The BIOS keeps sending this signal.
- For PATA interface you cannot have two hard drives or SSD’s at master level. In Desktop PC but also in some laptops you could set one of the drive on slave with a jumper setting. However this doesn’t work if you have two SATA hard drives or SSD’s. If you have two drives on master, Windows will not boot.

These problems can occur with all laptop models. To prevent this problem, the SATA or PATA converter board needs to be modified. The modifications on the converter can be different for each model. Therefore HDD Caddy’s are listed per brand and model with the required modifications to allow it to work.
