  Hello

  I don't think that there is no limit on that. I think that whatever it is upwards to 500 GB will certainly work and probably same disks up to a 1 to. Samsung is a very popular brand with the Evo Series discs / Pro. I would go for one of them.

• HP ENVY 15 t-j100 (E2E34AV): msata SSD in the Envy laptop

  Hello
  
  I would like to install an msata SDD in my laptop, I know that I have an empty msata slot, but it is intended to be used for fastboot files (according to my manual). If I put my own 256 GB SSD there, it will be usable for startup?, or I can also store files user on it?
  
  Thank you very much in advance!

  Dear customer,

  Welcome and thanks for posting your query on the Forum from the HP Support

  The mSATA port on the motherboard can be used as a cache drive to a hard drive with an operating system installed on it for him to give a performance boost.

  Cache drives are mainly used by people who cannot afford a large SSD to install their o/s and the most frequently used on programs.

  I'm sure that the port of mSATA is used strictly to cache of a HARD drive with an operating system installed on it and we cannot use mSATA as first SSD to store files on it

  Hope this helps, for other queries in response to the post and feel free to join us again

• 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
  • 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.

• What size an SSD and the amount of memory can add to my Pavilion x 2?

  I have a Pavilion x 2 with 4 GB of SDRAM DDR3L memory and a 64 GB SSD (mSATA).  Because the HP partition takes a bit of the SSD, I end up with only about 40 GB and 4 GB memory is barely enough (for example, to download updates to Windows, the laptop must have 3 GB free).  Thus, we can load much much about x 2 flag.  I am constantly copying data to an external drive and must carefully monitor its use to ensure that I get Windows security updates.

  My warranty is faster and although I like this laptop very well (it is well built and solid and a good size and weight), I want it to be usable in the context of Windows 10 and as a more practical machine (i.e.: not just to watch videos and play games of the app).  Then I'll add some memory and want to increase the SSD.

  I know that I can only increase the memory up to 8 GB (single location).  Which is absolute?  I can't go 16Gb?  I also know that it is possible to get a 128 GB SSD (LITEONIT) HP, but that, once - again has the HP partition on it which swallows about 20 GB or more.  Is the motherboard or BIOS limit how large an mSATA SSD drie I might add?  That would mean no partition HP and a clan 10 Windows Installer (using the license of the Pavilion x 2).  I realize that's NOT what HP wants.  But given that the guarantee will be more, I don't see what difference it makes.  It's cheaper for me to upgrade this ntebook me that in order to pay for a new laptop, which frankly, doesn't have the features that are so new as to make itworth my time to change machine.

  If anyone with technical knowledge can answer these questions for me, I would be grateful.  I want to kow how I can add a disk mSATA SSD memory and what size I will add to my Pavilion x 2?

  Thank you.

  I can see how one might think I would say that. However, change of RAM and SSD do not negate your warranty. I must however advise you (which seems you already know, but it must be said) that damage as a direct result of this is not covered by HP.

  Also, for future reference you can find all the information upgrade, especially if it uses the memory of the UMA in the service guide to laptops that can easily lie on your devices support page. The best way to find it is with a simple Google search of "Pavilion 11-h110ca x 2 Service Guide". I went ahead and find it for you: PC HP Pavilion 11 x 2 - Maintenance and Service of Guide.

  You will see also on your support page of products that it says clearly it uses the built-in memory and therefor cannot be upgraded.

  However, the DSS is a SATA m2. The service guide will be one listing of player list for readers used in this series of portable include a 64 GB and 128 GB SSD SATA m2. (Yes, it seems to be a typo in the service guide indicating 64 MB and 128 MB, I have already taken the lead and reported.) There is no 'maximum size' like any other computer. Special circumstances are that a drive over 2 TB must be initialized using the GUID partition table (GPT) partitioning schΘma. He must also use UEFI and BIOS not.

  In addition, if you intend to use the HP drive recovery media must be the same size or larger. A smaller drive won't be partitioned correctly and may fail. Considering that you are trying to upgrade it's irrelevant information, but it can be very handy in the future if replace a SSD HARD drive. If you have your own version of Windows and that you plan to do a clean install this caveat does not apply.

  I hope that answers your questions and cancels all preconceived assumptions about how HP to manage the upgrade of PC.

  Thank you!

• ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO: can I install an mSATA ssd in my HP ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO Notebook PC?

  Can I install an mSATA ssd in my PC HP ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO Notebook? Added a SDS SATA 250 GB and 8 GB memory chip today but don't can find any way to add also a 250 GB mSATA SDS. I looked on the side in front and back of the system board.

  I would return the mSATA EVO 840 Samsung SSD, I bought from Newegg?

  The repair is no help whatsoever. It is said a WSSD m2 is supported 'model', but there is no picture of it in the manual or the indication when it is on the models 'select '. Those who have it use a version of m2 (connector three blades 2 not) so your Evo 840 would not work even if you had one of the models 'select '. I think that on those who have it that the port m2 is located on the motherboard so if you don't see it you are not among the selection.

  Manual, FWIW

• HP Envy 15 J 048 tx: mSATA SSD for HP Envy 15 J 048 tx

  Hello!

  I have a HP Envy 15 J048-tx. I want to add an mSATA SSD on my PC and be able to boot from it all by using the HARD drive as internal storage device only. The goal is to make the system run faster (overall and games).

  I don't want to change the HARD drive as more large SSD storage capacity are quite expensive and adding an mSATA as disk startup seems to be a cheaper alternative. Current storage capacity of the PC is 1 TB and a 1 TB SSD will fix me by about 34 000 INR (which is a lot), while adding a 250 GB mSATA is about 7-8 000 INR and 500 GB is 12-13 000 INR. Already, I have a lot of external hard drives and do not want to reduce the storage capacity of integrated system, because that would be to buy more external hard drives.

  The PC came with Windows 8. Other details are

  1. Motherboard: Intel HM87 (revision of Southbridge - C2), 1963 HP (U3E1)
  2. BIOS: F.65
  3. Intel Core i7 4700MQ
  4. Storage: SATA-II 3.0 Gb/s
  5. RAM: 16 GB DDR3

  The product manual indicates this (pg 5 or pdf pg 13): Support for SSD drive 24-GB mSATA (not available on computer models with memory system 16834 - or 12288 MB)

  Contact HP support on twitter and got this response from there : supports 24GO mSATA (not available on models with 16834-MB system memory or 12288 MB) this should work, but the HP recovery media may not work to install, it may fail, the portion of due to the small size of disk partitioning.

  There seems to be an empty slot for the mSATA, but I can't remove the lid more as I don't have the tools for the same. (pictures attached)

  This post on the HP Support says that - the mSATA cannot be used for the operating system and that it is for the acceleration of a regular mechanical hard drive.

  Then there was this post for HP envy 15-j003tx touchsmart which mentions that it is possible to do it with a link on Laptopmag article for the same thing that got me a little confused.

  I also checked with my digital discount and the PC is not listed in the list of compatible devices. However, after going through the comments, I found there were people with any queries similar to me (but for different computers HP) and found this disc , which seems to be compatible. I thought I'd go with 128 GB one but don't know not then sought more. Then I scanned the PC using crucial.com and found these discs to be compatible too (250 GB & 500 GB).

  My questions:

  1. My PC is compatible with most mSATA SSD storage size?
  2. If so, that we go? 500 GB we have any extra advantage or a 256 GB disc will solve the purpose?
  3. The steps mentioned in the article of laptopmag need any changes?

  Images of the system after the opening of the back cover (1 & 2):

  

  

  You can add something big, but for 24 concerts for acceleration purposes are sufficient. If you can't find a 24 concert, you can use a 32. Any more than that would be wasted for pure acceleration. The accelerator contains the contents of the memory for a quick recovery from his sleep and also holds start-up files and then the .exe files for the programs that you frequently open like saying the browser or email.

  You can use a larger disk, repeat a 64 or 128 and let the Intel Rapid Storage create say a 30 GB partition for acceleration. The partition of the accelerator is not ntfs, or anything else Windows can be used as a storage device. You can then use the rest of the disc as a storage called disk formatted FAT32 or ntfs. If you do something like Photoshop or video editing it would give you a place to put work files that could be accessed and processed very quickly. But you can not use this partition as a startup or a Windows partition and it would take much diligence to prevent fill.

  If you decide to take the post of reader of acceleration from the establishment requires a configuration that is not totally intuitive.

• HP ENVY 15 notebook PC TS: mSATA SSD compatibility

  Hello!  I was wondering if my laptop is mSATA compatible III for my mSATA SSD slot

  I am installing a new mSATA and the manual says (page5) laptop computer supports up to 24 G only, so does this mean I can't add more than 24 G?

  is there any recommendation for what mSATA module which can I buy?

  My product name: laptop HP ENVY 15 TS

  My product number: J1Y24EA #ABU

  Any help will be very appreciated!  Thank you!

  Hello! Well here's how it goes

  The mSATA Slot is only used for as acceleration for A HDD Cache for better system Performance for anything else however you could reformat it for storage if you want, but 24GO is not that much

  If you want to upgrade to an SSD to replace your HARD drive you buy a SSD SATA 2.5 inch

  Who will go in place of your HARD drive in the Bay to start the computer and plug in the SATA cable

  Now to start until the new drive, you must reformat so you have to make or buy a HP recovery for your computer media

  Here is a link on how to do recovery HP Media

• New model: HP Envy 15 t Upgrade HD SSD or mSATA SSD?

  Hi all

  I read several threads on the upgrade of the disk for SSD and it seems that everyone else has managed to do.  My question is, is there an advantage to upgrade to an SSD HARD drive or simply add in mSATA SSD?  I currently have a network drive that contains most of my data such as music, photos and videos, so I don't think that I need more capacity on my hard drive.  That being said, I had planned on buying an SSD of 256 / 240GB, it's just a question of which one get? a regular SSD or mSATA SSD?  Thoughts?  Comments?  Concerns?

  Mike Lee

  on a side note: I envy 15 new t... I really wish that they would have changed the name of the template to something completely different because the prefix is the same as their old model... stupid...

  Get a 2.5 inch SATA SSD ordinary. Very slightly slower than a WSSD but still much faster than anything else. Try to configure the WSSD as boot drive is a huge problem.

• Is it possible to add a breakpoint between two of the existing breakpoints?

  See the subject line. Basically, I worked on a project that has four different breakpoints (next to "default")... and I just realized that my breakpoint (i.e. smaller) to the left is too big, and I probably should have broken it into two.

  It seems that the only way to add a breakpoint is when you are in the display size of "default"... but I need to position this new breakpoint at the other end of the spectrum. Is this possible? I pourrait add it on the right side... but that would mean completely reconfigure a bunch of details about every other size of the screen. I don't know if I explain what I ask properly. Laughing out loud

• How can I add a transition without eating in the length of the clip.

  I have a newer iMac with iMovie 10.1.2 and OS 10.11.6.  I would like to add transitions, but they eat in the length of each side of the transition of 2.0 seconds.  Is it possible to add transitions without eating in the length of the clip.  In old iMac with the internal CD, before Apple "upgraded" iMovie, you could add transitions without affecting the duration of the clip.  When a large part of my project, composed of clips 6-8 seconds of time, waive the duration of the clip to make a presentation more chic does not seem an option.

  For a transition to build to use incoming and outgoing clip media. We call these handles. It has always been like that. Most people leave a few seconds out of their clips when adding to the timeline. With clips you just save a second at each end, and you can create a second 1 transition or the precision Editor to set the duration of the transition. A point to note is that this does not apply to photos that they automatically of the handles. Your transition that uses 2 seconds of your clips is a second transition 2. If you use the full clip in the timeline and add a transition, iMovie will warn you that it would take the clips to make the transition.

• Firefox Add-on legal to use in the United States?

  for example, flash video downloader, if I use this Add - on download flash video on the web is it legal or illegal? Thank you

  That depends on where and how use you it. For the most part, most of the sites have Terms of Service (TOS) that allow users to view the audio Web sites / video files online, but not to record or distribute these files. So, technically, add-ons like this are used for illegal purposes - it is considered as "file sharing." Read the terms of USE for the Web sites that you use and let your conscience be your guide as to what is good or bad.

• I cannot download a .pdf file using Adobe Acrobat module 11.0.6.70. Disabling the add-on allows me to download the .pdf.

  I tried to download a .pdf file and open it with Adobe 11.0.6.70 module in FF 25.0.1 and received a message that the file has been damaged and cannot be repaired. I called the Technical Support of the site, and they asked that I have try with another browser download (ugh!) and the download worked. I returned and disabled the add-on Adobe in FF and the download worked in FF also. Don't know who developed the add-on, but one who did, left a bug in the process.

  HI central_texan,

  Please upgrade to the latest version of Firefox by going on the subject of Firefox from the Firefox menu. If download hangs at the last minute (just before reaching 100%), the cause may be an antivirus software that tries to parse the file and during this process the instance of Firefox crashes. It can also occur when the download is corrupted. What I want to know is in the system requirements, which means "Firefox Extended Support Release".

  To resolve the issue, try disabling the analysis as follows:

  1. In the address bar, type Subject: config and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click on I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue on the subject: config page. A list of parameters must appear
  3. Filter the list by typing in the search bar at top. Enter scanWhenDone. Now you should find the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone preference.
  4. Double-click this preference to set the value to false.
  5. Then, try to download something and see if it still crashes.

• Added Yahoo Toolbar and Add-ons Manager no longer shows the extensions one I can't access the function "get addons".

  I added a Yahoo toolbar for Firefox that has been customized for Frontier Communications. I Ghostery installed as an add-on, and she flashed a message that Yahoo toolbar confused its effective functioning and I would like to disable or uninstall the toolbar. I open the Add-ons Manager to do and much to my surprise he now showed no extension at all, but they all seemed still works! All my plug-ins appear when I look on the Add-ons Manager. I checked the "Get function modules and it tries to load but does not succeed." I am running Firefox 10.0.2.

  Please also try to delete the extensions.* files in the right out of the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will recreate the files and information. Please note that at the next startup, Firefox can request permissions, opening several tabs with each tab corresponds to a detected extension. Select allow the installation, click continue, but click on restart only on the last tab. You can also try to leave out the suspects without selecting modules and continue. I hope it will solve the problem.

  Files & Firefox profile folder

  Another way would be to try a new profile. Firefox stores the data from profile/personal separately from its installation folder. If the new profile is correct, you can later copy/replace files of the old profile in it, for example. the places.sqlite who holds history + information of favorites, the folder of bookmarks which has backups dated only bookmarks, signons3.txt + signons.sqlite which are necessary to restore successfully a saved website names to user/passwords etc. Please note that in this case, although it is also possible to copy the extensions it may be preferable to install again via Tools > Modules search box or AMO.
