HP Envy 17-J000eb: update of HP Envy 17-J000eb SSD

Hello

my HP laptop is about 1.5 years now, and I would like to replace my old 1 TB HDD with a SSD (to start windows) while keeping the old HDD in my laptop as a secondary drive. However, I read that for some laptops, it is not possible to change the primary HDD with a SSD, which means that the SSD can be used only as a secondary.

Is someone can you please tell me if this is correct? And if it is possible to change for one SSD HARD drive, which should I use? I guess that around 256 GB should be sufficient for the SSD, something like the MX100 Crucial 256 GB SDD for example. Or suggestions for a better alternative?

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards

Data sheet: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-ENVY-17-Notebook-PC-series/5354973/model/5390390/document/c03821679/

It is better to SSDS as boot drive primary Bay itself to get the best performance out of it.

Buy a brand 2.5 inch SATA 7 mm internal thickness for laptop SSD. I don't know about the reliability of the Crucial SSD. But the Evo of 840 Samsung SSD in my Pavilion 15A did an outstanding job for me.

You can clone HARD drive SSD (only USED total capacity if, if the HARD disk is less than the total capacity of the HARD drive). You can spend all your videos, images etc to another external drive temporarily and start cloning before replacement.
Later, move them back to the HARD disk, put in the secondary data storage Bay.

You can buy the kit of additional hard drive to HARD drive in secondary Bay, HP 720237-001 (Page 27 of the manual) part number

  • HP Envy 17-j053 SSD update

    Hi all

    As I bought a HP Envy 17-j053 laptop from Currys/PC World (UK) and I know that my laptop has a second hard drive Bay. I think that the performance of my laptop are strongly a bottleneck of slow hard disk 5400 RPM HP put in it, so I looked in the addition of an SSD.

    I found the cable and box rubber on Amazon for a total tear of £60 and I found the SSD that I want to install (840 Pro 256 GB Samsung).

    Question is the laptop won't work with the SSD in HDD1 (as the boot drive (windows 8.1 & programs)) and the 1 TB in HDD2 as a data disc?

    I'm sorry I missed it. It won't cause any problems. I have a very similar model... 17 t-j029nr envy and have used it with a SSD in primary and secondary and no problem at all. In my humble opinion, it's how it should be implemented... SSD in the main housing and the big slow spinner only for storage.

  • 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.

The transfer will be quick and painless. Let the original SSD in place during execution of the migration and Exchange later in the new Samsung EVO 850.

    1. What are the dimenstions of the hard drive in my laptop, because I can't find no internet. or how to test compatibility.

    I decided to purchase this ssd Sandisk (link below)

    2. other information that must be considered before purchising article, so I don't want to throw away money.

    Thanks for the attention

    Access to the hard drive on your model is very difficult and potentially void the warranty. See page 62 of the manual here:

    Repair manuals

    The SSD that you selected is the correct size and form factor and would work, but there is the problem of installation and software migration and security. Post back if you need help most.

  • Envy 15 j000eb: ssd upgrade

    Hello

    I was thinking about upgrading my laptop with an ssd, I looked, and I could (normally) place an msata ssd into the open slot msata.

    I want to put the boot (8.1 64-bit windows) on the ssd (250 GB) and use the standard HARD (1 TB) of storage disc

    My question is: should I have to just the system reeboot and select the ssd as boot station? and use the rebootsoftware of the standard hard drive part? or is it not that simple?

    I have read that you need to do an installation of the software intel? I don't know what to do

    all normal hard disk files are already saved on an external HARD drive, so I can just format the hard drive...

    also I have read that some people have problems with the installation, so before you start any work on my laptop, I want to be sure that it is posible, and I have all what I need to do before you start.

    BTW; is it posible to have my things to the user hard disk and portions of software on the ssd?

    with that I mean, ratings docs, images, downloads, muzik,...?

    welcome them

    The system is not designed to be started from the drive of the WSSD. It is possible, but requires a very advanced configuration by using a bootloader so the laptop starts to boot from the SATA hard drive and then the boot is hands the mSATA. I strongly suggest you just get a regular 2.5 inch SATA SSD and use it for the startup disk.

    You can repair:

  • 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.

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

    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!

    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 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.
