• XPS 8500 mSata as drive o/s

  Hello, I just got a new XPS 8500 system with 1 TB 7200 RPM Sata III is. I don't have the option for the 32 GB mSata caching drive, but I contemplating the purchase of a 64 GB mSata reader and connect it to the mSata port on my motherboard and the installation of my OS on it. I was wondering if someone could help me answer the following questions and give any suggetions perfomance wise:

  1. is there a noticeable difference using the mSata as a reader of chaching?

  OR

  1-can I use the mSata player has a start-up in the car with my intalled OS and my programs? (I would do a clean install of Windows on it)

  2. is there a difference between using the mSata vs player 1 TB Sata III drive as the primary drive of OS?

  3 - should I buy a 64 GB SSD ordinary and plug it into my port Sata 3 and downgrade the 1 TB Sata 3 to a Sata 2 connector?

  Which of all the three configurations do you think will give me the best performance.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated! I hesitate to use the SSD as a chaching vs the main disk drive... But I'm not an expert.

  Hello

  Use mSata as start and 1 TB Sata 3 drive because it is the best option in my opinion.

  Chip - you can go forward with that software should not give you any problems.

• 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

  • 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.

• XPS 8500 mSATA unrecognized disc

  I just installed an Intel SSD 525 series 120 GB drive on the card connector mother mSATA on my XPS 8500.  After the computer starts, the new drive is not recognized by Windows.  It does not appear in the disk manager at all.  Is there any setting/configuration which shuts the mSATA/connection to the port (for example, in the BIOS, etc) which would explain it to be invisible?  Or, it is probably just a faulty SSD?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  Hi DoctorDED,

  Here a thread (among many others), which explains how to set up. Good luck!

  We appreciate it if you search before you post. Thank you.

• XPS 8500 additional SATA Drive add...cable/power questions

  Nothing on sites Web of Dell (after two hours of seraching, including a chat with a Dell representative session) on how to add a hard drive from a dell computer. I'm simply confused (this happens regularly) it is difficult to find, or you really need to add a simple video on how to add an extra SATA (how many times people do that?).

  No info on cables, power supplies, how many readers you can add, etc.

  So this is the kind of thing I need... Thank you! How do I add a SATA, which cable does, esp if the slots for the cables are already taken by the BluRay player... can get a cable SATA outputs multiple?

  Thanks for your help.

  Thanks, Bev... screw seems to be the only parts I have.

  I am therefore reason to believe that I can put only two disks sata in this 8500, right? and we're already here, so I can really only add one, correct?

  Where are you going to get the good SATA cable?

  the manual referenced does not something specific on SATA wiring part I looked. Should not be too much of a pest, but do you have a specific reference.

  Rick,
   
  Yes, you can add an additional hard disk, the disk hard primary exsisting. to add several internal hard drives, you need an open 3.5"/5.25" bay and to install more than four SATA drives, SATA PCIe x 1 expansion card would be necessary.
   
  You should be able to buy a SATA data cable in a store of the local computer, or www.newegg.com for more details, go here,
   
  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16812270093
   
  Better to use a local store to save the S & H
   
  Sorry to say, that the manual is the only reference that Dell has released, as most newer Dell manuals, missing many details.
   
  Install the secondary hard drive is usually relatively in line forward, you must connect the data cable to a SATA connector on the motherboard, and after installation checking the installation process, to see if the drive is recognized.
   
  If the drive is recognized in the installation program for Windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be patitioned, formatted and received a drive letter using disk Windows 7 Manager.

• Dell XPS One 2710 - SSD drive?

  Hello.

  I look forward to the new 27 '' AIO Dell XPS One 2710 with the 3rd Gen i7.  However, I note that there doesn't seem to be an SSD option in the settings.  Is it possible to have one included in the machine for OS and apps, etc.?

  See you soon.

  Do not order it on the site. I suggest that you build it the way you want, save to cart and print.

  Call the Dell sales department or use the Dell sales chat and ask if it is possible. In some of my orders that I couldn't include additional is by phone or chat.

  Answer: You can deleted or you can format and use it as a data disc.

• XPS 8500 added second HDD and second optical drive

  I'll order a XPS 8500 with a HARD drive and an optical drive (at the same time TBD).  I'll add an additional HARD drive and an additional optical drive.  If I understand correctly, there one Sata3 connector which I assume is already occupied by the main HARD drive.  There should be three Sata2 connectors, one occupied by the primary optical drive.  The remaining Sata2 connectors are available for my new additions?

  What additional data / power cables will I need?

  Thank you!

  Hi Husker77,

  Welcome to the community.

  The system has two bays of 5.25 inches for loading tray SATA DVD +/-RW or Blu - ray drive (option) disc (optional) writable Blu - ray disc and two Bay 3.5 inches for SATA hard drives (internally accessible).

  An mSATA SSD drive (available internally). There are four connectors 7-pin (1 x SATA III, 3 x SATA II) where you can install the drives. A SATA 3 connector is occupied by the main hard drive and a SATA 2 connector is occupied by the optical drive. So yes, you can install a secondary hard drive and an optical drive in the system. Power connectors, ideally it should be there in the Tower system, however in case they are not present, you may need to power connectors to be ordered separately.

  Let me know any conclusions, glad to be useful.

• HP Pavilion DM4 - 3002TX Beats Edition supports mSata SSD 128 GB?

  Hello

  I want to install a SSD 128 GB mSata in my HP Pavilion DM4 with 1 TB of HDD.

  I already read the document "HP Pavilion dm4 Entertainment PC Maintenance and Service Guide"

  It is said 'Supports a 32 GB mSATA SSD' and «a 20 GB mSATA SSD»

  and when I read on combination mSata SSD with HDD.

  "Support either a 750 GB, 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm hard drive + 20 GB mSATA SSD drive
  configuration combination or a 500 GB, hard drive 7200 RPM, 9.5 mm + 20 GB mSATA solidstate
  combination drive configuration "

  the document does not mix with 1 TB HARD drive.

  The laptop supports SSDS this size and combination with 1 TB of HARD drive?

  Thank you

  Yes it supports. See page 44 of this manual:

  Repair manuals

  Check the service bay to be sure, you have the slot depicted on page 44.

  The usefulness of the drive cache mSATA also depends on how much RAM you have, but I guess you have the 4 original concerts or at least no more than 8. Buy a 32 gig WSSD and install it. Restart the computer and let Windows load a driver. Now open the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Console. Go to the performance tab and activate the acceleration. You will be able to choose how many the mSATA to use for acceleration and you can so use it all because that anything left over will not do much good. Restart once or twice to leave the files to migrate the mSATA reader, you should notice a lot, a lot more quick time startup and better performance in general. There is no other practical use for the reader of the WSSD as an accelration cache. It is not really possible to use it as a boot drive, but install the accelerator cache is well worth.

  Where do you live? All over the country. We can help you find the drive of the WSSD.

• mSATA SSD + 2.5 "HD on Tecra Z40 - B - 12 p

  Hello

  soon I'll be getting a laptop Toshiba Tecra Z40 - B - 12 p, reference PT45GE-06S03F7J, it comes with a 250GB SSD mSATA. I want to know if it is possible to install a second hard disk 2.5 "additional or I have to choose between having a regular vs 2.5 mSATA SSD" HD.

  Thank you.

  Well, some models are equipped with an mSATA SSD instead of a hard drive.
  But there is only one place to connect the hard drive SSD SSD/HDD or mSATA.

  In the case of mSATA SSD drive, there is a special mSATA HOLDER that lets connect you the mSATA SSD to a 2.5 SATA controller ".

• I can't install mSATA SSD?

  HP Envy 15z-Q300 (L6E56AAR)

  HP Envy 15z-Q100 (L6E55AAR)

  HP Envy 14 t J100 Win 7 laptop (L9B25AV_1)

  AMD model No., you can not install a WSSD. The answer on Intel models depends on the specific model. Many cannot use a WSSD as boot drive, but some can.

• ProBook 6450 b (ATI): the upgrade of my Probook with mSATA SSD

  Hello! ProBook 6450 b. I want to upgrade my computer with mSATA SSD drive. I've got slot free mini-PCIE (what is expected for the WWAN card). The problem is that I don't know if this Probook (updated of course!) BIOS supports modyfications like this. Can anyone help?

  Kind regards!

  I happen to be sitting here with his cousin the 6530 b working on it for a friend and I can tell you that it is earlier than mSATA WSSD readers. The crack is only for a WWAN card. If you put a disc mSATA in it the computer does not respond.
