  Page 33, the book will tell you the right part number and how to replace M.2 SSD

  Few people said they could use more big (capacity up to 1 TB) but to be sure only uses one on the manual or use Device Manager to find the right brand and buy the same (largest 512GB). I think it is SanDisk (my loan machine is) but please check before you buy.

• 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.

• HP envy 17-1011nr ssd upgrade broke boot

  Has problems from the heat with my HP Envy 17-1011NR.  I replaced the thermal paste to the heatsink with Arctic Silver 5 and I got a relief of the stops that I had to follow closely to cook them.  I slowed down the clock and I was now running quite hot and rather very hot.  I was also running quite slow.  I tried a can of air compressed on the fins of the heat (sprayed into the vents) and that helped a lot (fast, cheap and efficient).  I can now run quite hot full clock speed with an occasional burst of tablets to empty the dust (it wasn't clear the dust bunnies inside but it makes a big difference).  Finally, I decided to see if I could still lower power and temperature while increasing speeds and prolongs the useful life using SSDS.

  I bought two Samsung 840 Pro 512 GB drives.  Given that HP has a distribution not supported by Samsung disk copy, I used Clonezilla instead.  I chose the advanced option to extend partitions proportionally so that the disc can be consumed without creating more partitions. The SSD was mounted via a USB adapter. With projects out me to work, I returned home tired to run the next steps in cloning and go to bed. Wake up and do a little more and finish in the next few days.  Serious mistake.

  When hard drives were copied, I shutdown and replace them with the SSD and started.  No operating system found.  Then I handed the hard drives and booted.  No operating system is found.  Never had a problem with Clonezilla before (but I was generally cool when you use).  Using the USB adapter I checked the hard drives and SSD on another system and they were very good, then the copied data and the partition table is good; I can't just start readers.  I suspect that Windows 7 is good, except to get started.  I have this whole system label and Clonezilla gave me the serial numbers that I wrote it down at the time when the readers would not mix between primary (boot) and secondary (not bootable). But of course something is not so everything is suspect until proven otherwise.

  So now I want to know what is the recommended method for moving forward, risking the least amount of content in the car.  What is the recommended sequence of tools to try and damage each will make to the contents of the disc?  I would actually get running on the SSD, but it is usually easier to solve a problem at a time.

  All HDD and SSD problems solved.  (1) removed SSD drives and reinstalled two HARD disk drives.  (2) started repair disc (DVD), I've created many many moons ago.  Removed the ERD and restarted.  HARD drive works.  (3) judgment, secondary secondary HDD and SSD.  Started and the driver has been installed automatically.  (4) stop, primary primary HDD and SSD.  Started from the new ERD.  Removed the ERD and restarted.  Œuvres of the SDS.  Now running on the the two SSD drives.

  The heat is lower, the speed is faster (boot is incredibly fast), more disk space and wait this will prolong the life of this computer by years.  Also, will not have to buy new software for a new computer for a while so the upgrade is very useful.  To give you an idea of the speed, I run treesize on drive C (151 GB used) which took about 2 minutes, but on the SSD with the same data, it took 14 seconds.  TreeSize is a tool to question the use of the disc by tree and is recommended if you want to know quickly where your disk space has gone.

• HP ENVY 15-j102np SSD upgrade

  Hello everyone

  I am a question far from buy this mobile

  It fits all my needs, except that I'm not sure that a

  This model has a 1 TB HARD drive. Would I be able to upgrade to a 256 or 512 GB SSD?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  The 24GO is for mSATA SSD card.

  Please read the Page 5 of the manual, your model is tested for 256GB & 512 GB so that came out.

  But, there is no problem if you opt for a higher capacity too, system can adapt to it.

  Just get the 2.5 form factor ", 7mm or 9.5 mm thick SSD SATA (6 GB/s or 3 Gbps).

• 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:

• HP Envy 1540T H8: SSD upgrade hard drive

  I have a 256 GB SSD installed in my office that has run out of space (12 GB remainining).  The reader is my C: drive and contains my OS and program files.    I want to buy a SSD drive more and have the following questions:

  -All the SSD is compatible with my computer?

  -Once I have buy a new drive, can I use the backup of C: drive I have created with EaseUS Todo backup to the format of the player and keep all my OS and program files?

  I appreciate any advice you can offer and say thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Most of the newer SATA III SSDs should be compatible with your PC.  No matter what you tell a 2.5 SSD "?

  I don't know what you did with EaseUS Todo backup, so I can't say if it will work.  In addition, I do not know if EasyUS Todo can manage Secure Boot and migration of UEFI mode.

  Many SSD manufacturers have migration free software available for their products.  I use this type of the adapter SATA USB 3 , when I backup images of my starting of external storage devices (not tube) systems.

  You should be able to image your SSD existing to the new SSD and the migration software should be able to make adjustments to size during the migration process. Once it is complete then the swap on the SSD for the new SSDS of greater.  You can reformat the old biggest SSD using the adapter above and reuse the SSD for something else.

• SSD upgrade/migrate inside 23 tilt of HP Envy TouchSmart?

  (model: 23-k001hk all-in-One)

  Hello all - asking for suggestions advice from wise and kind people on the best way - and operating instructions - for upgrading the speed of my current hdisk 1 TB + SSD 16 GB cache scheme of HP storage by one of these itineraries:

  1) upgrade the disk installed cache 16 GB SSD mSATA disk (limit Intel RST) 64 GB mSATA

  Why: I update regularly a slap (10-15GB) of data from the Agency.

  so given that the daily volume of modified files is comparable to 16 GB,

  I'm assuming that a larger cache will actually add value

  (2) install an SSD 'broad' to serve the main startup disk by replacing

  the existing hdisk of 1 TB (I use a tiny fraction of it) with a 2.5 SSD "

  with a suitable support (and deleting or disabling the 16 GB SSD disk cache)

  Thanks in advance for any advice on this point, HP does not have any information on that, nor any obvious way to access or review the settings of the RST (firmware?) used in their SSDcache + hDisk arrangement (Yes, tried Ctrl-I, the boot, etc.-no joy).

  -Rob in Hong Kong

  Hi WAWood,

  A late thank you for your advice. Based on this feedback and having discovered just that software ExpressCache 'hidden' on my system quietly stopped working after the upgrade to Windows 10 (and HP support does not currently have updated software ExpressCache for Windows 10), I decided to install a large SSD drive and use it as a boot drive.

  In the this could help other all-in-One HP Envy owners tilt, here is a summary of the steps that worked with obvious disclaimers that even if it worked for me, it is not a 'universal' solution and also that if you mess with the hardware/software of your system, you are of course on your own, without guarantees or responsibility for this author) :

  (also, my apologies for the format - in a hurry)

  System:

  HP Envy tilt (23-k001h model) running Windows 10

  Basic purpose:

  Change the original storage configuration:

  Hdisk (boot drive) 1 TB + 16 GB mSATA SSD cache ("linked" to the hdisk via ExpressCache)

  TO:

  Hdisk (spare drive) 1 TB + new Samsung Evo 850 mSATA SSD 500 GB (as boot drive)

  Result

  Many, many "zippier" system: QuickStart, app launch, etc..

  Measures

  Disable ExpressCache

  (HP Envy models tilt seem to use this supplement Windows 3 rd-party, instead of Intel RST):

  In my case, as my recent visit to Windows 10 has taken care of this for me (haha), I don't have to do;  Otherwise, I guess we should stop the ExpressCache service, uninstall the software from ExpressCache and/or drivers, then reboot - suggest you only look it up in the forums, because I can't offer my own experience on this one.

  Clear/unloading as much unnecessary data from drive C: (1 TB hdisk) as possible.

  The goal would be to have used space on C: be greatly below your 500 GB (or other) new drive (in my case, I cut the used space on the C: 100 GB).

  Also a good idea to run the defrag Windows on C:, as may be useful (necessary?) for the reduction of this partition in the next step

  Disk management Windows allows you to shrink the Windows partition (mapped as C

  Goal: you want a net size of all partitions on hdisk (Windows + hidden/recovery/system partitions) to be a little less than the actual size of your new SSD (my "500 GB" SSD was actually more as 465 GB)

  Warning: disk management can claim "not enough space" to shrink Windows (C when it's clearly not partition so - in my case, the problem was due to my Windows partition is not the last partition on the disk before the unallocated space (if any) - obviously this disrupts the management of disks.)  If so, you need to move partitions using a 3rd party soft as AOMEI (free app - has worked well for me) all for the Windows partition is the last partition on the hdisk, with unallocated space located immediately after the Windows partition.

  Result: when the dust settles, the partitions allocated on your hdisk must have a net size which is comfortably at less than the actual capacity of your new SSD (in my case, the partitions was 440 GB on a capacity 465 GB SSD).

  Physics card mSATA SSD upgrade

  • Power PC, unplug from the mains and remove the rear plastic cover:
  • http://support.HP.com/in-en/document/c04100400
• Remove the metal shield covering the RAM:
  • http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04007922 (only the first 3 steps)
• Remove the metal shield covering the motherboard:
  • Locate/remove the 3 screws holding it down.
  • Lift on board as possible shielding at the booth of PC;
• Locate the SSD of origin (see tiny map labeled as SanDisk or some of these) and remove 2 tiny screws to attach to the motherboard.
• While keeping you constantly connected to the Earth (strap, touch metal chassis, etc.):
  • gently remove original SSD and save it in some static container (if upgrade fails and you want to restore the system to the original state of the material)
  • Gently insert the new card in lateral connector mSATA SSD,
  • and to the motherboard with the same 2 live
• Replace the motherboard of armour, armour of RAM and plastic cover

Check the new SSD 'visible' to the BIOS:

At first startup, use ESC to enter the BIOS settings, then check that BIOS 'sees' the new SSD as the original hdisk

Clone all partitions on hdisk--> new SSD

Start & connect to Windows and use Macrium Reflect (free) to clone all the partitions on hdisk for the new SSD - see large portico advice to:

http://www.howtogeek.com/199068/how-to-upgrade-your-existing-hard-drive-in-under-an-hour/

Do not forget:

• Suggestion from the link above, you must first a Macrium recovery disk
• You can clone * all * the partitions on the SSD's original hdisk

Result: cloned partitions now visible on new SSD. may have little extra/no allocated space on SSD (can deal with that later)

In the BIOS change the boot to new SSD drive

Reboot PC, press ESC to enter the BIOS to change the boot order:

• make the first boot drive in SSD
• also suggest to disable booting from originals hdisk (night before you really start SSD)
• Save the BIOS settings and exit the BIOS

Make sure that you have started of SSD and clean the unwanted drive mappings

Start & log Windows

(the fact that you can reach this point means that you have passed the first test)

Use Windows Disk Manager to

* ensure that C: is mapped to your new SSD.

* make sure that you can still see original hdisk, too

* suggest remove you mappings of unnecessary letters drive

(with the exception of the C: drive!) for all other partitions on hdisk or SSD

Test through full reboot

As a further test, do a reboot of Windows to make sure there are no problems with the start-up of SSD; again, once in Windows, use disk management to check again once your C: drive is the partition on the new SSD

Optimizing Windows SSD

There are several Windows setting changes that you should do when your primary/boot disk is an SSD, either:

• If you have purchased a Samsung SSD, you can download/use their app "Samsung magician" to do so (see "Optimization of OS" section), or
• Google "Optimizing windows 10 ssd" to find any number of guides to achieve this, such as:
  • http://www.disk-partition.com/Windows-10/SSD-optimization-Windows-10-4348.html
• Note: one of the most important changes are those related to mode AHCI (ability to GARNISH)
• Note: some suggested parameters cannot be 100% essential, for example:
  • pagefile on SSD: some authors suggest no page on the DSS file, others say "keep" small'(?) "; most compelling advice I've seen are to retain the page file on the SSD, but let Windows manage the size; in all cases, should make sure that your system has * sufficient * RAM (8 GB and more) for your usage requirements.
  • 'leave free space' (aka overprovisioning): SSD experts suggest that current-technology SSDS, it is not necessary
  • "do not defrag": 10 Windows recognizes SSD and disable defrag automatically

All the problems?

Note that at this point, you still have your original hdisk with windows/data for a few days, so if this migration does not work, you can always go back by turning off the SSD and change the startup disk (in BIOS) originally hdisk

After a few days: some cleaning

When you are reasonably comfortable that your system is booting from SSD and Windows/apps work correctly, you can perform the following operations:

• Use Macrium Reflect (free) or similar to save a snapshot of your current partition SSD
• After the backup, delete old/unnecessary partitions on original hdisk. For some, drive management works; others may need to resort to using the command line program Admin "diskpart" (read the instructions carefully!) and use "Delete Partition Override" (be very sure that you have selected a partition on the * original hdisk * (IE, 'old'))
• Disk management allows you to create a new simple volume on hdisk original now empty, as a reader of alternative utility
• Regular backup of SSD Annex: SSDS, as with mechanical parts, will fail - it's only a matter of time. It 's going to happen. Thus, strongly suggest that you configure regular (daily) snapshots of your SSD partitions. Again, I use Macrium Reflect to do this with a full backup weekly + differential daily backups and save the images in the now empty original hdisk in the PC
• If your SSD has any sense space not allocated, you may want to expand the Windows partition on the SSD drive use disk management to make use of this space

• SSD upgrade for Satellite Pro P200 (PSPB7A-01000J) - possible?

  Hello world

  I had a Satellite Pro P200 for 3 years and more. It came with Vista Business pre-installed, but I have successfully installed Windows 7 a few months ago.

  A few months ago, I replaced the C drive in my office with a Solid State Drive and now he sings - program start and loading of the system is much faster than before.

  Now I'm wondering if the SSD upgrade even could be done to my trusty P200 and if yes, what brand/model of SSD could be better. It should be 128 GB or 256 GB maybe.

  Anyone else been in this way? The results? Pitfalls?

  All responses appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Greg.

  Hello

  I think that it should be possible.
  You must use a SATA SSD drive since the laptop supports the SATA controller.
  To be honest, I never tried to upgrade the laptop with a SSD but SSD is not very different from the HARD drive and normally should not be a problem.
  In some cases, an update of the firmware of SSD may be necessary but usually these firmware updates should be available on the SSD drive manufacturer support page.

• 17 - k204tx: SSD upgrade.

  Hi, I have an SSD upgrade on my laptop. I was wondering if my model, a 17-k204tx has a slot m2 on the motherboard and if so, what size m2 cards it will accept? Or do I have to buy a standard 2.5 "disk instead?

  Yes, there a m2 slot. Here is the Service Manual:

  It is not easy to access. We had some users to post photos and if I remember correctly it is not necessary to remove and return on the motherboard, but that's what shows the manual. The m2 he uses is the size of SATA 2280 variety.

• W530 - choose what size SSD upgrade strategy?

  I still hesitate between two strategies of size SSD upgrade for my brand new W530.

  1. an (internal) SSD + a HARD drive (internal)

  • Put the original of the ultrabay DVD burner in an external enclosure (connected to the laptop with a USB cable SATA) and use when necessary
  • Put the original Toshiba HDD 500 GB of the main Bay in a shopping cart, then in housing as a backup drive-ultrabay
  • Buy a Crucial SSD m4 (512GB) for the main Bay and use it to drive to OS/programs and road data

  2. two SSDs (internal) + a HARD drive (external)

  • Put the original of the ultrabay DVD burner in an external enclosure (connected to the laptop with a USB cable SATA) and use when necessary
  • Put the original Toshiba HDD 500 GB in an external case (connected to the laptop with a USB cable SATA) and use it as a backup drive
  • Buy 2 m4 Crucial SSD (128 + 256 GB):

  -one in the main Bay as player of OS/programs (128 GB)

  -one in a basket, then in housing ultrabay as data drive (256 GB)

  I also want to let you know that a 512 GB SSD is a little more expensive than a 128 GB SSD + a 256 GB SSD. Also, I like to choose the best strategy of resistance, reliability and durabilty.

  Could you share with me the benefits & disadvantages for both strategies and tell me which is the best strategy for your point of view?

  Thanks for your help,

  @p1

  I agree with the approach of @eos. I have configured my W520 on the same track. I have an mSATA SSD 256GB (a - Data), with a 750 GB HARD drive in the Bay of primary and a 500GB HDD in the Ultrabay slot.

  The mSATA SSD is my boot device, even if I sometimes start from one of the other disks when testing new configurations.

  The mSATA slot is SATA 2 don't bother me a bit. It's very fast. Sometimes, I put an mSATA SSD in an mSATA to the 2.5 enclosure and run in the Ultrabay SATA 3-speed housing. I'm hard pressed to notice the difference.

  You're better off using a partition of HARD drive for data for various reasons. On the one hand, at least write cycles committed SSDS, longer it will last. Second, if your system partition is lost, your data is still intact. Third, you can save a small partition of data rather than a larger combo partion.

  I love having the flexibility of two open bays using the mSATA offer slot - i.e. I sometimes swap in my optical drive in the Ultrabay slot, etc.

  Is my mid-2012 13 "MacBook Pro compatible with PCIe SSD upgrade? I want to remove the internal optical disk and edit it in the PCIe SSD, so that I have 2 internal storage. Going to do?

  Your mention of an optical drive tells me you have a MBP non-retine.  PCI and PCIe SSDS are NOT compatible with your MBP.  You can install a card standard 2.5 "SSD in your MBP and still experience a significant increase in performance.  I suggest OWC SSD and Crucial.
