• Addition of SSD drive

  I have a Pavilion a6010n.  It has two hard disks, but I would add a SSD drive.  Can I do this?  The system has also two CD/DVD drives.

  Hello

  Please first check the spare SATA ports (bottom right: blue, yellow,...). If

  

  b it has alternative port,

  (b) there is the guest room,

  You can add SSD to your machine. SSD being much smaller and thinner, you need a set of media and to connect SATA cable. Please see the following guide:

• Best option to use the mSATA SSD Drive - HP Envy 15 Sleekbook: Cache or primary storage?

  Product: HP Envy 15 t Sleekbook (15 t-j100)

  Technical specification:

  • Intel Core i7-4700MQ @ 2.40 GHz
  • Intel HM87 chipset
  • 12.0 GB RAM DD3 (two openings 8 GB + 4 GB)
  • NVIDIA GeForce GT740M (2 GB) + Intel HD 4600 graphics card
  • 1 TB 5400 RPM SATA HDD
  • Windows 8.1 Pro x 64

  Hi all

  I intend to buy an SSD mSATA disc to my desire, because I want to improve the response time at the opening of some programs, improve the General performance of the operating system and to access files faster to big (read and write).

  I searched several readers mSATA SSD in the Web and I chose a P830 Series128GB mSATA SSD Samsung miniPCI-E disk (SATA III 6 GB/s, read 500 MB/s, writing of 400 MB/s).

  But I'm asking about what might be the best option to use the SSD mSATA so suitable as a primary drive (operating system installation and leaving 1 TB of HARD drive for storage and applications) or use it as a cache to improve overall performance.

  I do not envy for IE play or video editing, but I work with VMWare Workstation, and most of the time I need to use about 2 or 3 VM at the same time (sometimes during the recovery of a virtual Suspension of machine it take a long time, the virtual disks sizes about 40 GB). Another use for my desire is to play movies/series HD / 3D 0 and mirrored them for my Smart TV (via Miracast)

  I read something on Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) and I heard some benefits for use with SSDS as cache memory but I am still confused the best option.

  Any suggestions you may have? It might be useful for me!

  Kind regards

  Hello @cchoiz ,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that you have questions about the installation of your mSATA SSD.

  The mSATA slot is designed to only be used as a disk cache. You may experience problems starting in the mSATA SSD as drive. For this reason, I recommend to use it in its configuration provided; as a cache drive.

  The decision is entirely at you in the end. If you are able to configure the BIOS to use the mSATA as the main drive, this will help improve your system performance in addition to using it as a cache drive, especially if there is enough space to install your VMWare on the mSATA SSD after you have installed the operating system. Use it as a main drive will also increase the life expectancy of the SSD.

  I can only offer you my personal and no suggestions 'official response HP' in this regard. As previously mentioned, it is entirely up to you.

  Hopfully, this helps at least a little.

  The installation should be simple enough. Some people use even tape double-sided to ensure their SSDS.  The only thing that may be in question is whether your PSU OEM has one additional SATA power connector available. You will see that by opening your case.

  Establishment of an SSD is easy. I usually do it manually with the Diskpart utility to an elevated permissions command prompt. You can choose to do this through the Disk Manager because it is easier for most people.

  OCZTechnology forum has a section called SSD ABC of that coversall the basics to know about SSDS. There are also tutorials installation here that are very complete and written concisely.

• addition of SSD in HP Envy 17 j011sr

  This laptop has second port mSATA or something, that I can use to add SSD?

  Can I replace an optical drive, second battery, or a SSD?

  The mSATA is hidden and not easy to get to but there is a second space for a regular size SATA HDD that can accept an SSD or you can exchange the SSD in the main Bay and put the original disk in the second Bay. Will need you a caddy/cable like this:

• HP Envy 17 N001tx: Envy 17 N 001TX HARD + SSD drive

  Envy 17 N 001TX HARD + SSD drive

  Product number: M9V44PA

  The laptop has already 2TD HDD.

  Can I add an SSD to this topic?

  Yes. On this model the M.2 slot is present on models with an i7 and a graphics chip dedicated according to the maintenance manual.

  Manual

  See page 2

  However, the manual is very vague as to the location and access to the m2 slot.

  Others have posted pictures and it seems that the manual does not and you don't need to remove and return on the motherboard for access. The location is right above the drive Bay hard see p. 35.

  So you can add a module to the WSSD m2 for your laptop, sometimes called a hard "gumstick" disc

  That's what it would look like:

• HP ENVY desktop computer - 750-339c: desktop HP ENVY - 750-339c adding ssd drive

  Can we add a ssd drive to this computer

  The answer would be 'YES '.  The procedure, parts, video and are explained here.

  I have a link only as an example.  If your cloning the original HD, you must follow the steps by the cloning software. Be aware of the differences in the original size of the HD, I would keep side (to protect your OS system) after the installation of your SSD. If you want a secondary data drive, pick-up a new HD.

• Additional HARD disk adds HP ENVY 6-1120sq

  I just bought a HP ENVY 6-1120sq which has a SSD 128 GB on it. Is it possible to add an additional normal HARD drive?

  Really, they don't want messing you here... envy 6 Ultra is a closed system. However, it is configured to use a 2.5 inches wide but thin 7 mm 'standard' hard drive and has a slot for a smaller WSSD (physical size), which is what you have. Here is the Service Manual:

  Get the MSSD and a normal hard drive to play nice together cannot be too easy. In many systems, the WSSD is used as a 'cache' drive to speed up the main drive. In yours, it is used as main storage.

• Replace merge with ssd drive, cannot be done?

  My hard drive of my iMac 27 ", end 2012, is running out. It has a fusion of 1 TB drive.

  I asked the service guy how much it would cost to replace the 1 TB with a 512 GB SSD drive.

  He said that one cannot do. He claims that the only thing that can be installed is a 'disk original Apple', given that she is a fusion player, he has several sensors that a regular disk or an ssd, does not.

  Is this true? I thought drive merger was only a software technology "pair" a small disc with an older hard drive ssd.

  Of course, it is possible, but understand that the HARD drive in the computer has a special sensor used for the detection of the temperature and the fan control. In addition, what you ask is probably not an Apple authorized the change. A Fusion drive uses the features of Mac OS X CoreStorage to create the Fusion drive and manage. However, in itself a Fusion drive does not require any special equipment unless one you have used flash PCI-e instead of a real SSD memory.

  If your computer is no longer under warranty and complete loss of any future Apple support doesn't bother you, then you can make the change yourself.

• Replacement of the SSD for HP Envy 15-J160!

  Hello! I want to change my hard drive in my HP Envy 15-J160, a new SSD. It will work with any SSD? Anything else I should be thinking? There are no guide for this on my specific model?

  Thank you in advance!

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See page 45. Yes, you can replace the hard drive with an SSD. Don't know what your budget may be, but here is a page showing all sizes of Samsung 850 Evo:

  http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-inch-internal-MZ-75E500B-am/DP/B00OBRE5UE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1444600313&SR=8-1&keywords=Samsung+850+Evo+500

  You should get at least one concert 250 and preferably a 500 gig. The old disk can be copied (duplicated) in the new SSD, or you can use the HP recovery discs.

  Simply connect the SSD drive exactly like a hard drive. There is nothing you need to do for the BIOS or anything else unusual. Just plug in, install the software and go.

• HP Envy 15 J 048 tx: mSATA SSD for HP Envy 15 J 048 tx

  Hello!

  I have a HP Envy 15 J048-tx. I want to add an mSATA SSD on my PC and be able to boot from it all by using the HARD drive as internal storage device only. The goal is to make the system run faster (overall and games).

  I don't want to change the HARD drive as more large SSD storage capacity are quite expensive and adding an mSATA as disk startup seems to be a cheaper alternative. Current storage capacity of the PC is 1 TB and a 1 TB SSD will fix me by about 34 000 INR (which is a lot), while adding a 250 GB mSATA is about 7-8 000 INR and 500 GB is 12-13 000 INR. Already, I have a lot of external hard drives and do not want to reduce the storage capacity of integrated system, because that would be to buy more external hard drives.

  The PC came with Windows 8. Other details are

  1. Motherboard: Intel HM87 (revision of Southbridge - C2), 1963 HP (U3E1)
  2. BIOS: F.65
  3. Intel Core i7 4700MQ
  4. Storage: SATA-II 3.0 Gb/s
  5. RAM: 16 GB DDR3

  The product manual indicates this (pg 5 or pdf pg 13): Support for SSD drive 24-GB mSATA (not available on computer models with memory system 16834 - or 12288 MB)

  Contact HP support on twitter and got this response from there : supports 24GO mSATA (not available on models with 16834-MB system memory or 12288 MB) this should work, but the HP recovery media may not work to install, it may fail, the portion of due to the small size of disk partitioning.

  There seems to be an empty slot for the mSATA, but I can't remove the lid more as I don't have the tools for the same. (pictures attached)

  This post on the HP Support says that - the mSATA cannot be used for the operating system and that it is for the acceleration of a regular mechanical hard drive.

  Then there was this post for HP envy 15-j003tx touchsmart which mentions that it is possible to do it with a link on Laptopmag article for the same thing that got me a little confused.

  I also checked with my digital discount and the PC is not listed in the list of compatible devices. However, after going through the comments, I found there were people with any queries similar to me (but for different computers HP) and found this disc , which seems to be compatible. I thought I'd go with 128 GB one but don't know not then sought more. Then I scanned the PC using crucial.com and found these discs to be compatible too (250 GB & 500 GB).

  My questions:

  1. My PC is compatible with most mSATA SSD storage size?
  2. If so, that we go? 500 GB we have any extra advantage or a 256 GB disc will solve the purpose?
  3. The steps mentioned in the article of laptopmag need any changes?

  Images of the system after the opening of the back cover (1 & 2):

  

  

  You can add something big, but for 24 concerts for acceleration purposes are sufficient. If you can't find a 24 concert, you can use a 32. Any more than that would be wasted for pure acceleration. The accelerator contains the contents of the memory for a quick recovery from his sleep and also holds start-up files and then the .exe files for the programs that you frequently open like saying the browser or email.

  You can use a larger disk, repeat a 64 or 128 and let the Intel Rapid Storage create say a 30 GB partition for acceleration. The partition of the accelerator is not ntfs, or anything else Windows can be used as a storage device. You can then use the rest of the disc as a storage called disk formatted FAT32 or ntfs. If you do something like Photoshop or video editing it would give you a place to put work files that could be accessed and processed very quickly. But you can not use this partition as a startup or a Windows partition and it would take much diligence to prevent fill.

  If you decide to take the post of reader of acceleration from the establishment requires a configuration that is not totally intuitive.

• In Predator 710-G3 SSD drive

  Can Helle when and where I find the disc SSD 237 GB preinstalled in my G3-710 Predator. Newly installed another 237 GB SSD drive and could not find it. Where is the devil. Of course, the additional SSD drive would not be good without accurate right holders in the quick slot so I installed in the box instead.

  Thanks, will check this place.
