• 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!

• Add hp Zbook G3 studio additional ssd - drive surgestions

  Dear community,

  I would add an additional SSD to my Hp Zbook g3 studio. I found that the following SSD is compatible with my laptop but unfortunately it was sold for the last 2 months.

  Essential MX200 m2 Type 2280 (Single Sided) 500 GB internal SSD

  Therefore, I have a few questions about an additional SSD:

  -Is it better to add an SSD of 500 GB and the use of external storage or a 1 terabyte SSD?

  -Each SSD 2280 m2 (single Sided) is compatible with my laptop?

  - And what is someone knows an SSD alternative to the above which is compatible with my laptop?

  Thank you very much in advance,

  Greetings,

  Rick,

  The complexity of all this is the way out of hand. What you are, it is a SATA m2. I just put a disc of NVME m2 (aka PCI-e) of 512 gigabytes in my G3 Zbook (no studio). I know that your laptop is a little different, but I'm pretty sure that it's the same kind of m2 of housing and I don't know that a SATA would work. I know that it doesn't work the other way around. If the laptop is made for the m2 SATA drives only, you cannot use a PCI-e. In fact, I installed an official part of HP. The ordering process is another question, but let's say I got it, and it turns out to be a Samsung SM951:

  https://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-SM951-512GB-NVMe-MZVPV512HDGL-00000/DP/B015CWR4M2/ref=pd_lpo_147_tr_t_3?ie=UTF8 & PSC = 1 & refRID = YA2TAQZPDE3NNQCWCNSH

  I used it to replace a Samsung PM951 256 concert which is like the PCI-e m2 budget model, so I know that two of them are working.

  Look at the pictures and you can see a difference. The SATA drive has 3 pins that plug in and the PCI-e has only 2.

  The manual on page 2:

  Manual

  Specifies EITHER a SATA m2 or a PCI-e, so you can be OK, but I'll tell you a PCI - e has double or triple the speed of read/write.

  Mine supports 2 x m2 and a 2.5 inch SATA. Your accepts 2 x m2 I read the manual and what appears to be a 2.5 inch non-standard SD

  I actually still the 256 PM951 concert. We can help you find something compatible and I can tell you that the HP part was estimated at a very favourable point (about the same as the Crucial which is out of stock) If you can't stand waiting rather difficult and slow checkout process.

• I can add install additional SSD on the S230U Twist HHD version?

  The price is very close to 128gSSD / 4 g/i5 and i7 / 8 g/320gHHD?
  Can I buy the latest version and install additional SSD by myself to get the best flexibility to upgrade?

  Hi, Woodennail

  Unfortunately this isn't possible without voiding the warranty. As evidenced by this page, the only parts that can be replaced by a user are the hard drive and the hard drive cover. Any other room, for example an mSATA SSD, must be installed or replaced by the staff of Lenovo.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,

• Pavilion dv6: install a bisides additional ssd HARD drive

  My PC is slow to start especially, but also in other situations. Is it possible and wil it help with an additional SSD. A hybrid disc would be a possibility?

  DV6-6b20eo is the model.

  It is an AMD processor and these models do not have a slot for card WSSD mSATA, then your only option for one SSD is to replace the internal hard drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD.

• Adding additional SSD for dell xps 15 with 256 GB SSD

  Hi, I just bought a dell xps 15 9550 with 6th gen i7, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB ssd. Is it possible to add an additional SSD for the location of hard disk 2.5 inches remaining. If possible do I need to buy the cable for SSD too or is that what cable already included here?

  Thanks in advance,

  There is a support and a set of rubber bumper needed to connect a disk 2.5 "hard.  In general, these are not delivered with the system unless it is controlled with a hard drive - you must remove the base of the cover to check if - some reports are that some versions can be delivered with the necessary equipment.  If not, they are likely available from spare parts from Dell and from other sources such as EBay and third Dell parts suppliers such as share - People.com.

• Laptop HP ENVY 15 t-k000 CTO: add additional SSD for HP ENVY 15 t-k000 CTO Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)

  Hello.

  I have my laptop new HP ENVY 15 t-k000 CTO Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) yesterday itself. He already have writer BRD. Can I replace my BRD burner with extra HD SSD? If yes what is the procedure for that?

  You can, but you shouldn't. The port for the optical drive is a SATA-I have the interface. Slower than the port for HDD/SSD. So if you want to just add storage put a regular mechanical training in an optical drive adapter. Also any drive in the optical drive adapter will not be bootable. This will help you:

• 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,

• HP Envy 13-d001no: upgrade SSD on a new HP Envy 13 m2

  Hello!

  I just got my HP Envy 13-d001no. As I expected I really enjoy them until now, but I am interested the upgrade to a faster SSD with more storage on this subject. I'm looking at two different drives, namely the Samsung 850 EVO m2 and the Samsung PRO 950 m2. Both drives are m2 (2280) form factor, but they differ in that the EVO 850 uses a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s-interface while the PRO 950 has a PCIe interface.

  I am not fully aware of the differences between these interfaces. I know that PCIe allows faster speeds, but they are both compatible with the new HP Envy 13? I find anywhere which interface is the exact shape of the SSD factor currently installed and I don't want to take the risk of buying a new drive only for him is not to adapt or not to work on the laptop.

  According to the HP ENVY laptop (model numbers used: 13-d000 through 13-d099)-Maintenance and Service Guide of, this model supports the following:

  SSD drive
  Serial ATA M2 storage
  Support for the following SSD drive configurations:
  512 MB M2, SATA-3, support triple cell level (TLC)
  256 MB M2, SATA-3, support the TLC
  128 MB, M2, SATA-3, support the TLC
  128 MB, M2.2280, SATA-3

  On this basis, it would seem that the Samsung 850 EVO m2 is the correct upgrade for your computer.

• HP ENVY 15 - ae: second SSD on HDD1 slot in HP ENVY 15 - ae?

  Hello

  I'm looking for a way to upgrade the SSD in a HP Envy 15 - ae. I opened it upward and the configuration is the following:

  -main 256Gb SSD PCIE Samsung

  -area empty HDD1 next to player of DVD, but no ferry and only a HDD1 connector empty on the main map

  Does anyone know if it's just a case of getting a larger SSD, IE 2.5 "SSD 512 GB, a flat flex cable SATA and a pan support and its connection to the connector on the main Board HDD1 sata? Or is there a problem that the equipment is not designed to deal with two disks or the HDD1 is not provided for this purpose at all?

  Pointers are appreciated.

  Thank you very much

• HP ENVY 15 t-K100 CTO: HP ENVY 15 t-K100 SSD upgrade

  Hello everyone!

  I want to upgrade to an SSD. I'm looking for other topics on the forum. I confuse myself now. A topic say my laptop have a port for ssd Sata m2 and another say not. Can someone give me the right information and tips.

  My laptop touch screen, use 4th gen Intel Core i7-4510u, GTX 850 M, my motherboard is Hewlett-Packard 228D

  Thank you!

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  I'm sorry to say that this thing is clear as mud. Your sharing his manual model with envy 17-inch and if you look at the hard drive options it says that only 17 inches can be configured with a normal hard drive and a drive of m2. However, if you enter the actual instructions there is no distinction other than to say the m2 is on some models. I am sure that we have the owners of the post 15-inch model here and even attach photos and even if the instructions you do switch the card system for access to the m2 slot, it's actually just above the hard drive Bay. What is clear is that you are trying to add that a reader m2 is not authorized end-user and is somewhat of a technical challenge.

  So I'm afraid all I can tell based on the manual is there is probably a slot m2 in there, but it will mean almost complete disassembly of understand with certainty. I'm sorry.

• HP ENVY M7: M.2 SSD use with HP Envy M7-n011dx

  I recently bought the HP Envy M7-n011dx, with the hope of being able to install an ssd inside M.2 to start from but also run my programs.

  After reviewing the manual for it, I found it was in fact the port for the SSD, however, looking through the forums I am now more confused then ever know if this laptop has the active port m.2.

  Before I go and order any material or try to take the computer hand after the purchase, I was hoping someone could let me know if this particular model allows the use of the DSS m2.

  My research seems to show that n0xx models have active port where n1xx models do not have.

  Does anyone have any ideas or comments?

  Not exactly. The manual says this about it:

  SSD conƭgurations (for i7 + GTX PCA) ● 512 GB m2 SATA SSD (TLC) ● 128 M2 of GB SATA-3 (TLC) ● 128 M2 of GB SATA-3 (TLC) value

  While the models with an i7 + graphic GTX, that is to say the 950M has a port of m2 and I think yours is 940 M.

  I followed this M.2 debacle here since the beginning, and here's what we saw. models with a port of m2 which is dead, disabled. Models that have a port M.2 clearly described in the manual, but when you open the case, you will only find traces for a m2 but no real port welded to the.

  So I strongly hesitate to give advice on adding a player of m2 to any HP laptop which didn't plant it. It's the only way you can be sure that it will work 100%. If you're brave, at the very least, open it first and check if the mounting material is really there. Do not order the m2 before the laptop drive even comes to your door, as many people did, to their disappointment and expenses.

  The only way that a m2 is a "gotta have" If you can use a version of NVME PCI - e, not SATA. SATA based M.2s are not significantly faster than a good old 2.5-inch SSD SATA-III we can say absolutely not work. And that's another story altogether: what models can accept a M.2 NVME?

• activate the AHCI mode on Envy Dv7 - 7398ca with SSD

  Year old i7 envy Dv7 - 7398ca notebook with SSD Samsung 840 Pro x 256.  Windows 8.1

  I've updated to the SSD shortly after I purchsed the laptop.

  No problem except the Samsung SSD Wizard software keeps tagging me as AHCI mode is disabled and must be enabled and I do not see it in the BIOS.

  Or I see anything that relates in the device as IDE Manager or other.

  It seems that the SSD is optimizing not itself based on the fact that it considers that AHCI is disabled.

  I apologize for the issue being this topic seems to be beaten to death over time, but I do not see what relates to this model or similar.

  Thanks for all the ideas.

  The system is set to ahci or RAID mode. You can tell that by opening the Device Manager and look at the storage controllers. Anyway it is optimized for SSDS and TRIM is activated. You can simply remove the program from Samsung and rest assured that your SSD is optimized.

• Envy 15-j051sa mSata SSD Cache TS

  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.
