Envy 17-n111tx: Envy 17-n111tx HDD/SSD Configuration

Hello

I'm new to this Yes please forgive my ignorance. My new Envy 17 - n111tx is about to happen, and from what I understand, I'm able to add an extra storage device in the optical drive Bay.

I would like to replace one of the hard drives of 2 TB with an SSD (Crucial MX200 250 GB) and then put the HARD drive in the optical drive Bay.

Here are my questions:
1. what kind of SSD do I need, the 2.5 "or M2?
2 should I all media for this?
3 I need supports when installing the HARD disk in the optical drive Bay?
4. among the two hard drives of 2 TB, which is installed the OS on?

Thanks for your help

Kam124,

I have found some additional reading for you - on the "Equipment and upgrade" section of this forum.

In the "Discussion forums" (upper left corner), select "Notebook Hardware Upgrade issues and.

Next - search once you're in the hardware section - 'HP 17 n' which will take you to tread:

Re: HP Envy 17 n-000, also known as the M8W99AV_1

This discussion (with photos), this is what you are needing to know the upgrade of your system - the only difference is, you already have the hard-drive-kit (hardware) they discuss.  So you will not need to be overly concerned about adding 2nd HARD drive - but it is interesting to read.

The photos included - must be exactly what your system will look-very neat - and easy to upgrade.

ATTENTION: There is a link to youtube (on page 5) about how to add a 2nd HDD to an Envy 17 - this does NOT apply to your odel - is a portable 17 alumni.

Some centers of discussion on the SSD m2 - I have not looked at all this discussion - but I'm sure it will be interesting.

Hope this helps,

  • Recovery disks contradictory w / upgrade HP Envy 17 3D [HDD-> SSD]

    Hey everybody!

    I have a HP ENVY 17 t - 1100 CTO 3D Edition laptop with Windows 7. He had two hard drives in it, 500 GB a piece. I just put the primary HDD with a SSD Samsung 840 Pro Series drive. Before I did the swap, I did recovery DVD from my system. I am able to get to the Manager of HP recovery during the boot sequence, but the ability to perform a factory reset is grayed out. Because I can not install my HP Win 7 DVD, so I did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 in the meantime. But I still prefer to use my recovery disks because the 3D work well with Windows 8.1. My drive is of type is Basic.

    Thank you

    Recovery discs are usually working on a smaller than the original hdd. An option could be reducing the C partition on the original hdd to the SSD size and then clone it to the SSD.

    Or - you can copy the folder the original hard drive on a DVD or a flash drive SwSetup, use the installation programs of the drivers/software on a clean install of Windows 7.

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

    If you can read the Microsoft Windows 7 of 25-character license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match that's installed on your PC as shown on the sticker COST Microsoft fixed on the bottom of the laptop. Like Windows Home Premium.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert, but nothing has changed.
    My laptop is satellie U500-1 DR and the operating system is windows 7 (64-bit)

    Thanks in advance

    To be honest this message is not to me clear that the same tool works on my machine.

    Try to reinstall the Toshiba Value added package.

  • HDD/SSD location second free Qosmio X 70 - B?

    I want to buy a new laptop series Qosmio X 70 - B.
    but I have a question about the equipment of the Qosmio laptop...
    Namely,

    It is a second free (EMPTY) 2.5 inch HDD/SSD slot inside the laptop to assemble the second HARD drive?

    X 70 series - Had second free HARD drive location... but this new thinner than a series B series... I think that this series B may not...

    I think that the Qosmio X 70 - B is peripheral different.
    Its similar to Satellite L70 - B or Satellite S70 - B series and my knowledge the second HDD slot isn't taken in charge.

  • Qosmio X 770 - 13F - can I built it second internal HDD/SSD?

    Hello from the snowy mountains of Savoie!

    My computer is a Qosmio X 770 - 13F.

    I am disappointed because it runs very slowly (I have the 'windows 7 explore bar green problem'...)
    I expanded the 8 GB RAM: no change to the actual speed.

    In this computer, there is only one hard drive (750 GB, 5400 RPM).
    The evaluation of access disk hard windows is only 5.9!

    There is an empty place next to the hard drive, so I wonder if it is possible or not to add a second internal hard drive or even an SSD.

    I searched for this user manual: no answer!
    And on the web, I have also not found response.
    Perhaps on this forum?

    Thank you and I apologize for my 'English amateur' (I'm french!)
    Jerome.

    In General, it is not easy to discuss the performance of the laptop. All of us use notebook with a specific setup and preinstalled applications that can run in the background and slowing down the reaction of notebooks.

    All I can say is that you must check the OS configuration and disable some unnecessary applications to start with Windows. Also disable the Windows automatic update installation. This can also slow down cell phone operations.

    The OS is Windows 7 32 bit. Everything else works well.

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the HDD/SSD Alert cmdlet and the Intel Rapid Storage driver, but none of the measures have worked.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you

    Try this:

    Reset

    Otherwise, it would be possible that the problem is related to the HARD drive maybe that alert the program HARD drive cannot read the info of the disk due to HARD drive hardware problem.

  • TOSHIBA HDD/SSD Alert - do I need if I have my laptop on a desk?

    Hello all, I guess my question is not on the HARD drive or the hardware itself, its subject the load or the process CPU usage alert hdd in my laptop. Fact it gives a heavy load for my memory?
    Someone at - he noticed your laptop to be a bit slower when this option is enabled?
    I know it's protection for my HARD drive, I understand that was a time when my laptop falls or is hit, the hard disk will fail and my HDD is damaged.
    But how useful this app if I have my laptop on a desk all the time without danger?

    Do you advise me to turn it off?

    In general the TOSHIBA HDD/SSD Alert function must monitor the operating status of HARD drive and run the backup of the system. It is very useful, but certainly not so important, tool that must run all the time. It runs in the background, does not use the resources so and in fact there is no reason to stop it, only if you want.

    That recommend you?
    In my opinion you should let it run. I have the Satellite P500 and it works all the time. I t n t n stop and I noticed a few performance bad/slow more laptop because of this.

  • Satellite L655D-011-HDD/SSD Alert, HARD drive failure?

    I have an old L655D-011 of 6 months and yesterday it started to appear with the message to back up my files because there is a problem with my HARD drive. Well, after having a technical support in the past, I don't give that easily and simply run my laptop to the nearest authorized service center. Instead, I help out.

    I did the BIOS update finally. No change in question.
    Finally had time to create a recovery media. No problem with that at all.
    I reformatted. No change in question.
    Checked the health monitor. It shows that my HARD drive is "good". Yet, when I double-click the icon, I get a pop - up with the following message:

    "Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert."

    Disk0

    Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict which monitors the status of operation of the HARD drive. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a back-up to the date of your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new replacement if necessary. »

    So, after that I decided to run a CHKDSK /f /r. Result: 'windows replaced bad clusters in file name \hiberfil.sys 44990.'

    I should be good to go, right? N ° same problem with the precaution of backing up my files.

    But this isn't good, is it? If my HARD drive is about to fail why monitor health show that everything is "good"? There is no problem with gel, pxe.boot errors, rattling disc, unusual vibrations or read/write failures.

    So, my questions (after all the above and see other threads to ask questions about HARD drive failure messages) are: were there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly? Are failure drives hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)? The health monitor working correctly?

    In my opinion your questions cannot be answered simply.
    > Are there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly?
    How many people must confirm that they have the same problem? I guess this happens from time to time, but you cannot say that this problem is known.
    You will always find people who noticed the same issue and not on Toshiba forum only, but on all the forums where people discuss cell phones in general.
    > Is the disk failure hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)?
    How to check or confirm this?

    You know, during the first backup all your important data, watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the info appears again and again, contact the nearest service Toshiba and let them Exchange the HARD drive.
    The guarantee is valid and it will be free of charge.

    Hi YouMaCry,

    You have any records? or a USB recovery?

    If you cannot install an OS on your SSHD your SSHD can be defective, because it is reading it is cluster/bad sectors. A defective HDD/SSD/SSHD can still be detected (sometimes even when it is defective).

    To be sure contact Lenovo Support Center and ask them to send you your SSHD/unit in a get fully tested Lenovo the SSHD repair depot - and have defective parts repaired within a reasonable time!
