hard drive and SSD in one computer

[Filippopune]

It is possible to have a SSD with windows(as a primary ) and a hard driver as a secondary for storage data?

I have two exit point from the same red cables on my motherboard( Data), But only one cable for power. (Black cable)

If i am not clear let me know.

hi

this one ?

HP Pavilion p6-2422el Desktop PC Product Specifications

4x Serial ATA connectors

hdd Size: 1 TB

• Interface: SATA

SuperMulti DVD Burner drive

Interface: SATA

so at least two free sata data ports

Bay size	Total Bays*
13.33 cm (5.25 inch) ODD	1
8.89 cm (3.5 inch) HDD	1

It will be necessary to find a place for the SSD
Check well all the connectors of power supply you should have another sata if not the case, you would need an adapter, type y

check but something like this normally

Install windows on the SSD, check before erasing the HDD that everything works

Hi

Yes, it is this one. HP Pavilion p6-2422el Desktop PC Product Specifications

Already  I use SSD on my computer. 

The old hard drive is sitting there doing nothing.

I just want to find a way to use it.

I have already find the place for the SSD and hard driver.

I just need two entry point for the black cable.

In this case, I answered you.
but i can't quite see what you tried to show with your images

Except, that I see the opposite, you would have power cables, but not the DATa, hard drive to motherboard

 is' n it ?

The black cable is the SATA (Data) cable. It is almost impossible to make something wrong.

This cable doesn't duple the black cable(SATA Cable) but the red, yellows, grey.

I need two entry point for the SATA cable. 

I was wrong, The Black cable is the SATA cable. And the red, yellows, grey is the power cable.

I need to duple the Black SATA cable but I am not sure if it is possible with my old motherboard.

>>I need two entry point for the SATA cable. 

No, you are wrong. If your board has 4 SATA Ports you need 2 Sata-Cables (SSD+HDD)

[Filippopune]

I do not understand .
I search for  2 Sata-Cables (SSD+HDD) but I find nothing.
What do I need to buy?

Come on ! You have already 1 SATA Cable.

The same again and you are done! 5$

[Filippopune]

Ok. Thanks

I checked the motherboard . There are 4 SATA port .

I just need to buy the second cable and plug in the hard driver.

That is all ?

How is possible?

Both the hard drive and the SSD have windows on it.

How the windows boot start from the SSD and not from the hard drive?

My guess is the boot start from the first port. If the SSD is plug in to the first port the boot start from the SSD. If I plug the hard driver in the first port the boot start from the hard drive.
