ENVY 15-K202NT: SSD Slot m2

Hi all

I read a lot of resources on this forum about M.2 SSD abot slot and I have a few questions.

First of all, I want to replace this SSD with a capacity of higer and install the operating system to this ssd without removing the HARD drive. I mention this because someone said to remove the HARD disk to boot from m2 due to the limitations of the BIOS but another says you can fix with the settings. My first question is this possible?

My second question is if replace SSD HARD drive without removing M.2 SSD will it become a problem later? Due to the older SSD has short life of reading / writing and cache ssd made these operations every time as a primary hard drive and maybe HP used an older technology on the SSD m2.

And the last question is if I delete complately m2 SSD can I boot from 2.5 HARD drive with no problems?

Thank you very much.

Yes, you have a hybrid drive. The 8 GB NAND is built into the hard drive. I do not believe that your model with the screen 15-inch has a slot m2, only versions of 17 inches. So if you want an SSD there should be only a 2.5 inch SATA SSD.

  • Envy dv7t-7200: SSD upgrade in 2nd slot on HP Envy dv7t-7200. Cannot find or run the Bios

    So I added recently internal a second drive in my HP Envy dv7t-7200 because she had a second slot. The first was a 1 TB HARD drive and what I added is a compatible 500 GB SSD from Crucial. At startup, the SSD was not recognized as I can't find anywhere in my computer to use. Also, I tried to go into the BIOS to see if the second part of the motherboard to the drive 2nd spot has been activated but now the computer starts too fast and I can't enter the BIOS. Given that nothing is installed on disk 2, I have no idea why the computer starts much faster. Would it be due a QuickLaunch for the BIOS update can I have recently installed? If so, how to uninstall that?

    I also wanted to just insisted on my laptop as possible and that's why I decided to upgrade, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    A new empty ssd drive will not be displayed in my computer (PC), until the disk is initialized and formatted. Right-click on computer and choose manage... disk management and see if there is a new blank disc. If so create a new volume in it (partition) then format then assign a drive letter.

    You want to have the OS on the SSD and have it in the main location as only a car in this slot is bootable. You lose the speed of the SSD in the second location for pure storage. As hanging Secretariat up to a plow.

  • HP ENVY 15-j040sr: HP ENVY 15-j040sr SSD

    Hey! I ENVY 15-j040 and want to upgrade with SSD. Could you please answer if I have a chance to add (preferable) or replace the hard drive? What type of SSD is supported? Thanks in advance.

    See p. 47 of the manual here:

    Manual

    Your laptop has a slot mSATA for the WSSD of older form factor, but this device can only be used in conjunction with a mechanical hard disk as a cache of acceleration Intel Rapid Storage. It is not bootable, unless it's the only hard drive in the computer. Even in this case, the speed of the mSATA of this type is not faster that a SATA 2.5 inch SSD, and the latter are cheaper and easier to find in usable formats. So, your best option is to replace the mechanical drive 5400 RPM with a SSD 2.5 inch SATA-III and my suggestion is always the Samsung 850 Evo.

  • HP Envy 15-k220nr: updated HP Envy 15-k220nr SSD m2

    Good people of HP support forum,

    I have a portable Envy that came with 1 TB of HARD drive and is now a bit slow for me. I'm looking for in the options of upgrade "regular" SSD for about $150, but that requires me to make a compromise on the storage capacity. I thought to add a SSD M.2 and keep my HARD drive installed, but I don't know if there is slot for m2. Can someone help me?

    Support for my laptop page lists "generic" repair for Envy 17, Envy 15, and even if it adheres to most of the things on my model, "m2 support is optional. Speccy lists available PCI slot but I don't know if that's all.

    Or I have to disassemble the jury to be sure? (not an easy task if you ask me and I already changed the WiFi module myself).

    Thank you guys

    I disassembled the laptop completely to add more RAM and have checked there No. M.2 slot. The space is for him next to the RAM slots, there is impression on the jury, but no connector is welded.

    I have to be happy with a hard drive.

  • HP envy m6-1125dx: ssd msata on HP ENVY M6-1125DX

    Hi HP! I am a customer who uses an Hp product, have a laptop model HP ENVY M6-1125dx. I asked about this hardware upgrade thing. My problem is that I see a mini PCI - Ex right next to my Wifi card slot, so I take a look at the manual and his told me that my laptop can be upgraded to a 32 GB MSATA SSD (cause is using my laptop intel i5 - 3210 m chip). I would like to ask if I may or may not be upgraded more than 32 GB ssd, what the textbook says. Ex: I want to upgrade to ssd 128 GB msata. Is this possible? And what would happen if I switch to ssd 128 GB msata through mini PCI - Ex. thank you!

    The 32 GB mSATA ssd is intended to be used by the software Intel IRST.

    You can add a higher capacity SSDS mSATA and use it as storage or even boot into an operating system with him. If you do this, do not use the Intel IRST software because it will use part of the SSD for the cache and the rest will not be usable.

  • HP ENVY 15-j030eb - SSD HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    Really hard to find all the information on the net regarding this laptop (no reviews, no tweaks etc.). Again I would buy the desire because of his good record. However only if the following can be done:

    Replace the HARD drive internal 1 TB per a DDI, preferably a Samsung 840 EVO Series 250 Gb.

    If so, can you just plug in, or do you need to support etc. Anyone who has done this before?

    Thank you

    Hello SebastiaanB,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that you are looking to put a 256 GB SSD in the HP ENVY 15-j030eb. I'd be happy to help you with this. I'm you provide a link to the HP Support document: PC portable HP ENVY 15 and HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service of Guide. If you look on page 5 you will see that the HP ENVY 15 laptop only supports an SSD 24 GB mSATA, your wanting to install the 256 GB it would not work. What you would end up with, it's either the BIOS would not see the drive at all or it would be very slow and you would lose any benefits that you would get to use an SSD.

    To answer your second question in the guide even if you go to page 44, you will see instructions on how to install an SSD in your laptop.

    I hope that I have answered your questions to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting about these issues on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • HP ENVY 17-j006ea SSD Upgrade - necessary caddy?

    Hello

    My model (HP ENVY 17-j006ea) came with two hard drives. I use the primary for windows and only for programs and I would like to replace it with an SSD.

    Do I need to buy a Bay secondary adaptar - or can I use the same parts that are currently used for my main drive?

    Thank you very much

    You have 2 Bay adapters for 2 hard drives. You can use an SSD in the adapter currently used for the main drive. The model of hole and the location of the SATA connectors is the same. Bay primary and secondary adapters are a little different and not interchangeable, but if you have one of each, you have everything you need. Post back with more questions.
