  665930-001 300 - GB SSD drive
  Disc SSD of 256 GB 689223-001

  I have a 80 GB SSD, which I think is an MSATA.  There are two updates listed on the HP site, but the prices are prohibitive.  How to find a compatible player to a third party?

  Please see the HP ENVY 17 - Maintenance and Service of Guide for all the different hard drive / SSD / mSata drive configurations that were available on these models. Almost any drive vendors will work on your computer and HP sources these parts from many manufacturers.

  Hard drive (does not support hard disk, cables or screw):
  1 TB 5400 RPM, 12.7 mm 638974-001
  750 GB, 7200 RPM, 9.5 mm 633252-001
  750 GB, 7200 RPM, 9.5 mm hybrid 684506-001
  500 GB, 7200 RPM, 9.5 mm 634925-001
  320 GB, 7200 RPM, 9.5 mm 641672-001

  SSD drive (does not support, cable or screw):

  Disc SSD of 256 GB 689223-001
  Disc SSD of 160 GB 665929-001

  mSATA by car:
  128 GB mSATA drive 665931-001
  Drive 80 GB mSATA 665932-001

  A player mSata SSD are not the same. SSD is the same as a hard drive form factor. An SSD is going to be cheaper then a mSata disc. Your choice will depend on what you are trying to do with his computer.

• 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 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

• Tecra S5 PTS53E - mSata SSD compatibility

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Tecra s5 PTS53E
  I want to know if the motherboard on my map of msata suport laptop inside the laptop, on the motherboard about HDD is a slot like a mSata slot but I don't know.

  is write anything there that can guide me.
  How. identifies it? (Excuse my English)

  Tecra S5 is an old series laptop and I don t think that this series is supported by the mSATA interface.
  I guess you mixed up of this interface with the PCI mini (for BT, WLan or Modem module) slot which can be available on the motherboard.

• 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 j-126tx: How can I add an mSata SSD while maintaining my original windows

  Hi, I want to replace my hard drive with an SSD, but I don't want to lose my original windows and the recovery partition. How can I do so? And another thing I am doing is adding an mSata so that I'll have my hard drives SSD available for use. In this case, how can I transfer my OS to SSD partition?

  Hello:

  Data sheet: http://support.hp.com/in-en/product/HP-ENVY-15-Notebook-PC-series/5401187/model/6732613/document/c04031360/

  First, create USB recovery.
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03481733

  Buy SSD with at least the same capacity (750 GB) from the HARD disk for recovery media to work.

  Use recovery media already created to restore factory OS on the SSD after replacement.

  Manual - page 45,46 for the replacement procedure:
  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091768

  Transfer OS to mSATA to make boot drive is a bit complicated and not recommended by HP as the mSATA acts as a cache on the HDD in consumer laptops. Nevertheless, it is a useful sticky in this forum showing some members do with success. You can check:
  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/hardware-upgrades-replacements/HP-envy-17-j017sg-mSATA-amp-2xHDD/TD-p/3517215

  You can certainly replace the HDD with SATA SSD. See the manual.

• HP Envy 14 A9P67UA spectrum #ABA: Add (or replace) mSATA SSD to the HP Envy 14 spectrum w/windows 10... possible? Worth the risk?

  Hi all!

  So, I read in this forum on this subject and have seen mixed results.  I bought this computer a few years ago, generally pretty happy with it but I ran out of space and the battery is dying.  I am trying to decide whether to revise it or buy new.   That's what I want to do:

  Add 2nd mSATA SSD in the second slot.  I saw a post like this HD is compatible but that's a post.  Around, I've read that others have had problems by adding a second SSD.  Some people can not access, some people, it shows only a 128 GB extra, in fact, some have a BSOD.   The post I saw replaced the original disc to help one of them and adding a second drive so the two HDs were of the same brand.  Is it a better idea?  Also, all the posts I've seen on this topic were two years old and dealt with Windows 7.  Windows 10 it will make it harder to do?

  http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-850-mSATA-2-inch-MZ-M5E1T0BW/DP/B00TGIVRYU?ie=UTF8&PSC=1&redirect=true...

  If not I can try and use the same car with the model came in the second slot to help in possible compatibility issues, but I would be limited to a 128 GB extra (or possibly 256?).

  I have also upgraded the memory of 8 GB and add a new battery.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820220618&ignorebbr=1

  Reflections on what is successful? I wouldn't waste money on these parts if this is going to work.  Thank you!

• 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.

  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.

• Hard drive not detected after adding 2nd mSATA SSD for HP Envy 14 1002tx

  Hello

  I'm having a problem when adding an extra mSATA SSD for my HP Envy 1002tx model.

  The laptop comes with a 500 GB HARD drive and I see that there is a 2.5 "mSATA SSD slot under the HARD drive, so I bought the same type of SSD and installed it but when I turn on the laptop, it does not introduce yourself. I don't know why?

  I want to have an SSD for boot up the laptop and HARD drive to store animals.

  If anyone knows if there is any software I have to install in order for the laptop to recognize the SSD?

  OR

  Is - this material is defective?

  Thank you in advance!

  I'm really sorry, I could not find this before, but the slot under the hard drive is not compatible with the mSATA disks. It's for WWAN modules! Your laptop is not like 4 I thought, but Envy 14 equipped with the first generation of Intel processors. Envy 14-Sandy Bridge 2000 series could be BIOS modded to make the miniPCI-e interface works with the mSATA disks but Envy 14-1000 series is not possible to change.

  Edit: 2.5 "drive 256GB solid state drive is listed as compatible.
