Cache in HP Envy 15 j150us

Why are there only 2 MB of Cache in HP Envy 15 j150us. It is not sensible. With the 4th Gen i - 7 processor, 2.4 GHz and 8 GB Ram, why would you have this low cache? How will this affect the system? I was about to buy this but now I think to buy a Lenovo laptop with the same configuration and 6 MB cache. Give me a reason to stick to it.

Here are the specifications for the TouchSmart HP ENVY 15-j150us Notebook computer. According to the specification, this model has a 2 MB Cache CPU, but it of a typo and is incorrect. All computers with processor i7-4700MQ have a 6 MB Cache. Please see the Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ processor card to confirm the size of the cache, according to Intel.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    I have a 700-430qe with a MSI MS-7826 version want a motherboard that I can't get a 64 GB msata half board to work into the tiny slot.

    He currently works very well with the small wireless card install, but not with a surfboard msata in.  I am wanting to use the housing as a cache drive instead of wireless.

    Has anyone else experience this problem?  And also, no I want to switch to the DSS, I want just the mini slot to work with a mini ssd.

    This can not make any sense, but the problem was that I must have no less than 200 MB of unallocated space at the end of my main hard drive which will be accelerated.

    After that I did the software suddenly gave me the option as it is supposed to.  I left the unallocated space just in case there remains open for some reason any.   I was surfing the net and someone else had the same problem and it's the soluton.  The only thing is that no reason was as to why do or why it works.

  • HP SimplePass

    I recently bought a HP ENVY 15-J150US and I noticed that SimplePass only works with IE. I searched for extensions for Google Chrome and Opera; and I could not find anything. These browsers are compatible with SimplePass; or y at - it plugins/extensions that I could download to make the product of the work with these browsers.

    MJ,

    Sorry to barge here...

    Small question.

    ========================================================================

    Are you running HP SimplePass series 8?

    For example, you run HP SimplePass version 8.0.0.57?

    Check Control Panel > display icon value > programs and features

    If you are running version 8 series, I think you're going to use IE with SimplePass.

    I'm not sure if series 6 HP SimplePass works with Opera, though the series 6 is supports Firefox, Chrome and Internet Exploerer (at least through version 31.x).

    NOTE:

    Series 8 and series 6 are not compatible - it isn't one upgrade on the other, although if you can run series 8 on your computer, you might be able to run the older version of the 6 series.  It is recommended to run the series of the version that is installed on your computer.

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

    Technical specification:

    • 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.

    Envy TS 15-j051sa mSata SSD Cache for the 1 TB 5400 HGST HTS541010A9E680.

    The manual States "Support for the SSD drive 24-GB mSATA (not available on computer models equipped with system - 16834 memory or 12288-Mo)". As I have all the conditions, Intel processor, 8 GB of ram, the question is can I just install it and everything works as if by magic?

    Or what I need to do anything about it, or to perform any installation? I noticed Intel RST is running and that the system is working normally.

    Any help or experience would be helpful (apart from the disk of 1 TB of pit and replace it with a large SSD!).

    Thank you.

    OK, for someone else to end up here

    It worked for me:

    • Bought a 24 GB SSD mSata off eBay (very cheap).
    • Make sure that it is the type of partition MBR (I used an external box with Mini PCI-E to SATA 22Pin mSATA).
    • Make sure that the Intel Rapid Start technology is disabled in the Bios. (Appears only if the mSata is installed).
    • Windows 8 (.1) boot in SafeMode (this is where I'm wrong).
    • Run the Intel Rapid Storage Technology-> Performance-> activate acceleration.
    • Reset (it works!)
    • Activate the technology Intel Rapid boot in the BIOS (I don't know if it improves things, seems to work OK without him)

    A start power button to start screen for ready office is 17-18 seconds. Note that I have several services running SQL 2008 R2 Server and all the HP utilities installed as new.

  • Upgrading an Envy 15-j171nr with 8GB and 24GB SSD 16 GB cache

    I'm a 15-j171nr with 8GB and 24 GB SSD cache. Whe I have it set to purchase the Configurator said the cache of 24GO was incompatible with more than 8 GB of RAM.  'Maintenance and Service of Guide' (p/n 733845-001) said the same thing on page 5:

    «mSATA SSD»

    Support for mSATA 24 GB SSD (not available on the computer equipped models with 16834 or 12288 MB of system memory or a 256 GB or 512 GB SSD)"

    My questions are:

    -How are they incompatible?

    -How do you upgrade a 8 GB to 16 GB model during the withdrawal of the mSATA 24GO card?

    The additional DIMM module is physically incompatible with the mSATA map, they install in remote locations. I guess it could be a thermal or issue of power but neither part draws a lot of power or generates a lot of heat. This is * not * a problem with software compatibility. How will I know? Because I advanced and installed the extra 8 GB DIMMS and the laptop continues to operate correctly, but now has 16 GB or RAM.

    The question about the upgrade is because when you use the card as a cache mSATA configuring map mSATA and the mechanical drive as a RAID array. I guess when you remove the mSATA card you must rebuild the image of the operating system on the drive of 2.5 inches.

    -Craig

    Some people report if they switch to 16 gigs, they start to become quick start Intel and Intel Rapid Storage errors. If you're not, then you do not experience incompatibility. I think that HP will not sell 16 concerts with the WSSD of 24 concert because if you are using Intel Rapid Start the MSSD has contain the entire contents of the RAM and all the other files that have been stored there for hibernation. 24 concerts can be a little tight. Map of the WSSD is not accessible from the service Bay. It is hidden on the motherboard. You can actually slow down the main drive of the WSSD through the Intel Rapid Storage console. If you have installed 16 gigs and are having no problem just keep using the laptop and count you lucky. If you need assistance more let us know. I have a very similar model: the Envy 17-j029nr and played well with all the features of hard drive so I feel pretty good with her speed.

Unfortunately my warranty just expired, so I looked online to try to find one, but I is not the exact number of product even for sale, although I found various other mSATA SSD 16 G cards tha would work so I have a few questions:

    (1) can I buy the correct part directly from HP. If so, how?

    (2) I have to get the exact number of the same part or any SSD mSATA 16 G card work? I found a few options with similar but different numbers on eBay and Amazon that look alike, for example SDSA5DK - 016 G-1006 and SDSA4DH - 016G. Will they work?

    (3) does it matter if I'm bigger. Part of the problem to find replacements, it seems that these days, they are delivered in the larger sizes. for example: can I get a map of 30G from Amazon: MyDigitalSSD 32 GB (30 GB) 50mm Bullet Proof 4 BP4 50 mm mSATA Solid State Drive SSD SATA III 6 G - MDM-BP4-030

    (4) once I get a replacement, do I make something other than just install on the motherboard where the old one was? Will I need to download new drivers or other software etc. ?

  • 4-1043CL ENVY: ENVY 4-1043CL 10 upgrade Windows - works VERY slow, suspicious cache drive does not

    Hi there - put on day of Windows 7 64-bit of Windows 10.  Update seems to be fine - no errors, the system starts and 10 Windows deskop seems to struggle and work - but performace is terrible compared to Windows 7.  The start-up takes ~ 2:15 for the desktop to appear first, then ~ 3:30 total for applications to load (hourglass disappears).  Firefox takes ~ 1:30 to open go icon click to show my Yahoo home page.  MUCH longer than using Windows 7.

    I suspect that the cache of 32 GB drive configuration have not upgraded correctly.  I have uninstalled and installed the latest drivers Intel RST (dated 26/08/2015, using SetupRST.exe from the Intel download site) - the Intel RST icon finally appears in the system tray and wrote that the RST is running correctly.  Intel RST is enabled in the BIOS.

    Thoughts welcome - thanks!

    Update: swapped stock a new SSD HARD drive (500 GB, but a 240 GB should be fine for most), removed the drive to boost 32 GB mSATA (is more necessary since the main drive is SSD), and did a clean install of Windows 10.  This laptop now works fine.

    BTW, the one feature that does not have a driver through the W10 std install in Device Manager appears to be satisfied by the «HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection Software» fashion

    Product number: C9D47AV #ABA

    Serial number: [personal information deleted]

    I recently bought a new desire and while I had originally planned on just using the 1 TB HDD as well as 16 GB of cache to boot the system, I decided to go with a 120 GB Samsung SSD 840 for where I want my OS to be.

    After reading a lot of posts and have tried to do it myself last night, I know it will be a pain.  I saw a few solutions on the forum I'll try tonight and I don't want to revisit old but I do not see anyone mentioned have a 16 GB SSD cache for the computer to start from.  Does make a difference in what I like?

    If I am able to well to clone the current HARD drive can I spend with the 16 GB Sandisk Disk Cache?  I can live with keeping the 16 GB startup disk, using the SSD 120 GB for my OS and find another use for the 1 TB HARD drive, but ideally, I would like to boot directly from the 120 GB SSD and use the HARD disk of 1 TB as additional storage space.

    Thanks in advance for reading this.

    Thanks in advance for reading this.

    Hello

    SSD 16 GB cache is primarily for you to have a faster access to your data.

    Before installing the os or the image you want to make the current system, it's better that you create a recovery Kit using the HP software to create the installation DVD for your device.

    At any time, you want to restore your system to its original configuration, simply launch the Kit.

    Now, with respect to the imaging system and having it installed on the SSD, how do you intend to do? What software will you use to perform this task?

    Thank you

    The SSD 16 GB drive aims to speed up access memory, is not to speed up the startup time.

    The upgrade to Windows 10 made for the operating system on the hard drive of 3 TB. Upgrade Windows 10 will not install to one as small as 16 GB of SSD.

    You can install a SATA 160 GB SSD and a greater capacity and configure it as a startup disk.

    Use the hard drive 3 TB of storage.

    It is recommended that clone you the current startup for the SATA SSD drive before you install it in the desktop PC.

    Friendship will be the start-up and operation of the PC.
