Any suggestion about the msata SSD?

I plan to add an SSD for my new X 230 using the msata port. Do you have any recommendations (ability, brand etc.)?

    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.

  • Ultrabook Envy6-1100sl: install a 2nd OS on the msata SSD - Envy6-1100sl

    Hi, I upgraded my envy6 with 16 GB Crucial RAM and 500 GB samsung SSD evo. After upgrade, I did a clean install of windows 10 and stopped to use the itegrated msata ssd. My question is:
    Can I install a second operating system on the msata ssd? Can this bios read the second OS on the msata? Is there a procedure to follow?
    Thank you

    Thanks for suggesting it, but I've created a simple way... I just installed the second OS on the msata. At startup the sistem starts automatically on my main drive (500 GB win10), but if I press F9 when starting, I can see my linux on second drive (32 GB msata) and just choose to start when I need.
    Don't need to grub or similar just manual choice, and that's what I wanted!

  • My laptop hard drive is almost full, any suggestions on the best way to go.

    I have a compaq laptop with 140 MB of memory. The hard disk is almost full. I want to buy an external memory but don't know much about them, or if it's the best way to go.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Dave, I used CCleaner for many years.

    The way I used it, was to PERFORM the "cleaner" 3 times. Until the last race... happens, with 'o bytes. "

    Then, on the option 'Registry '.

    Yes, with the "register" option, too. "' With NO disaster! And, with the choice of NOT make backup copies, when you are prompted to do so.

    Same process run, too, until it says: "no problem found"!

    Are passed to the Glary Utilities, lately. It's a good program better, to find errors 440... to his 1st round.

    He did trying to mess up my computer? NO!

    It works better, because I DID used the program "Glary Utilities".

    There are 6 'process' to run on the logon page, it is unchecked, check it and you get a thorough 'cleaning '. There are more options available with this program it is with CCleaner, use "at your own risk!

    Who I am still 'in progress' to be, is, the REMOVAL of "Duplicate Files". As I don't want to delete the ITEMS, in this case, it removes EVERYTHING and causes HAVOC with my computer.

    CCleaner does NOT have this option.

    Once I have understand, I well a machine "squeaky-clean".

  • Portege R930 - upgrade the mSATA SSD succssfull

    Just briefly, I wanted to report an SSD upgrade.

    When I got my Portege R930 (PT331E, i7) two years ago, I changed the HD to a PRO 840 Samsung SSD 512 GB (big improvement). Now, this SSD is too small (photos!) and I wanted to increase the capacity up to 1 TB.

    But instead of a new SATA, I decided to go for an mSATA + adapter SATA I felt an mSATA unit would be more "evolutionary" - next update of the laptop for me would be a Portege Z, who use mSATA.

    So I bought a Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB with a Delock adapter/converter mSATA SSD, made a clone of the Apricorn cable and the software switched the SSD and everything works fine (actually a little faster )! At first I tried to use the clone with software from Samsungs migration but this didn t work, maybe I didn t the right version.

    -Now I have a lager SSD that will live longer than my R930. Please note that I'm not an expert with computers - just a happy user Toshiba! Thanks for a good forum with my good ideas!

    Concerning

    So, I bought a Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA 1 TB whole with a converter/adapter Delock...
    .. .and everything works fine

    Good news Lao!
    Thanks a lot for the comments...

    I also upgraded my laptop with a 250 GB SSD drive and now I think of a larger SSD... I should consider your solution now...

  • A practical Suggestion about the battery of 10 blackBerry covers

    I couldn't find anywhere to send a suggestion, so I decided to post here. I hope that this will fall on the ear right or at least passed accordingly.

    To start things, I have my BS in mechanical engineering and I did some work with composite materials during my undergraduate. I'm a fan of the compartment of the armour of glass for the Q10 and the Z30. I think this is the new look of BlackBerry and I'm glad it was implemened.

    I believe it can and should be more stepped away. At the moment, it's only used black devices. In my view, that fiberglass coverage should be extended to white devices as well. As you know, woven glass fiber is naturally white. Instead of using alternative manufacturing processes on different back covers, why not eliminate this process used for the high-end devices white entirely? All you'd have to do between black and white phones is Exchange the material used for the covers of the battery. This should save time without having a significant impact on the costs of the materials.

    I have yet to see a pile of white fiberglass cover on any mobile device. Businesses tend to go for the look of the "cool" factor carbon fiber body. The average person does not know the difference between the materials, but I can assure you that this "white carbon fiber" will be very well received. I think it will give the white appliances look refreshes that society can be proud.

    I hope that my suggestion is seriously considered. It would be great to see this cover of battery fiberlass implemented on white devices a day!

    Happy holidays

  • Any suggestion for the option of compiling the Flex Mobile of the project in Flash builder (Blackberry platform)

    I use Flex mobile project type to create a stand-alone for targeting blackberry and android application both versions.

    Depending on the configuration of my test application works ok in blackberry tablet Simulator. As I am new to blackberry AIR application development if anyone can help me for the compilation of project I currently put for my application is good or not?

    When I checked the project-> properties-> Flex compiler, I found "Flex Hero" as compilation same SDK, so I'm trying to pass the value of the configuration option available, that it won't allow me to set the 'Blackberry Tablet OS SDK 0.9.1 for Adobe AIR"- any suggestions?

    The question above, see attached screenshot.

    Hey Dounibiligda,

    He was right to what you saw originally in your settings. the default SDK should be the flex SDK Hero. If you want to add libraries specific blackberry, you must manually import the qnx - screen.swc which will give you most of the libraries QNX which are skinned to resemble the appearance of the standard playbook.

    so to summarize, keep the default Flex Hero sdk and manually import the qnx - screen.swc to your project. Good luck!

  • The Msata SSD on HP Pavilion 14-n033TX update

    Hi, I bought my new laptop HP Pavilion 14-n033TX with SSD specified 24 GB cache. I want to upgrade the SSD in drive for windows startup and have more storage for SSDS? The specifications of the SSD I need? m sata, half size or size and what is the maximum size for this? Thank you.

    There are several ways to do so. Several SSD (Samsung for example) is issued with migration software (CD), but you'll need an adapter usb to SATA like that.

    http://www.Amazon.com/Patuoxun-converter-adapter-cable-drive/DP/B008ASF5MC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1407765939&SR=8-1&keywords=USB+to+SATA

    Just connect the external SSD drive with this device and the boot of cloning a disk and follow the prompts to copy. Make sure the SSD you buy is greater than the data currently installed on the old drive. The clone will smoother copies two disks of the same size, but you can resize. Just be careful actual scores of Windows 8 that in some cases if you make them too small, you can't start or system of things like the Windows backup will not work.

    If you have another external drive, you can also do a full Windows system backup and then restore the backup by using a Windows repair disk or OS installation disc.

    Personally, I use Acronis True Image 2014 (older versions will not work with Windows 8).

    http://www.acronis.com/en-us/personal/pc-backup/?adpos=1t1&device=c&network=g&matchtype=b&creative=44836518617&gclid=Cj0KEQjw06GfBRCR9tDI4t6n5_MBEiQAFo6kuKlWUPWzHg3ZofpygwRHifSLDq0VVFocq9wW9ZF1gqMaAttq8P8HAQ

    The trial version used to work for cloning, but they removed this feature. It costs $50 now; for me is worth I clone a lot of readers, but you probably want something for free.

    When you cloned the old disk to the disk SSD just Exchange the SSD in laptop hard drive Bay.

    After updating firefox, now a second search bar that appears below the find toolbar regularly every time as I start typing in there. He tells me that I'm looking with google (thanks, I wondered!) and the duplicate search input field, exactly as it appears in the toolbar and gives me the opportunity to change my search parameters (which I won't do so unless there is a setting that will make this box to disappear). WTF is the point? I hate it and it's stupid constant popping up and down. I've turned off suggestions and it still appears. I only got the new version for about 10 minutes and it's already making me want to never to use the new search toolbar.

    Do you know if I can replace the drive for a DVD burner? And if yes - which model?

    Hi Piotr,

    You can replace your new CD burner with vurtually any DVD burner that is the same physical size, but you should make sure that the new Recorder has a set-up similar to your current drive configuration.

    In general, the reader will be configured as Master, Slave and Cable Select (Csel), by the manufacturer and must match the configuration of your current player. One of the tools of Nero will show you the current drive configuration.

    Unfortunately, most retailers do not show configuration and with slim-line readers, there is no DIP switch that allows you to change it.

  • questions about the new SSD T530 upgrade

    I just bought a T530 that comes with a 500 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive. I bought a 256 GB Samsung SSD 830 and was trying to install this. The questions I have are:

    1. is it recommended I the SSD drive in the ultrabay housing and keep the HARD disk where it is? Or place the HARD drive in the ultrabay slot and have the SSD to the standard housing?

    2. is there a certain adapter that should be used on the installation of SSD or HARD drive in the ultrabay slot?

    3 are there settings that need to be changed when using an SSD?

    Thanks in advance.

    1. no difference whatever he is, although if you count hotswap in an optical device, it would be easier to have your primary OS drive.

    2. any generic SATA-UltraBay adapter should work. Make sure you have the size and the generation correct however.

    3. There are a few adjustments on swap files, defragment, etc. You should be able to find this information on the internet.
