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.

    Hi all

    I bought the HP Envy 15-k153nr. I read somewhere that he had free internal interface of m2, I want to install the SSD in this interface. But I do not know the length of the card SSD, it can adapt. Can I install 80 mm long SSD? I can't find this information on the HP site. I hope someone knows the answer.

    With respect,

    It has a slot for 2280 m2 SSD, which means you can use 80 mm long.

    Hello

    I want to upgrade my hard drive to new ssd and I have several questions

    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)

    http://www.Amazon.com/GP/product/B00S9Q9VS4?PSC=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&Smid=ATVPDKIK...

    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 17 3D to SSD update

    I have an Envy 17 3D, and I wanted to upgrade to an SSD Boot drive to speed up things and eek out a little more autonomy. I got a 3 OCZ Agility 120 GB SSD, I was able to run through the recovery DVDs, I created to install Windows 7, but on reboot I now get a "PXE - E61 media test failure" and it does not start. When it is installed as the 2nd player, I see the player very well, including the Windows files.

    I've updated to the latest Firmware, 2.15, same problem. Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

    For memory, the start of the recovery of the DVD I had created to enter recovery mode, I was able to run the Boot recovery tools (BootSect.exe) to resolve the startup problem, I am now running on my SSD.

    Unfortunately, I didn't connect with care what finally fixed command flag, but I don't know that it took more than just fix the MBR.

  • 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.

  • 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,

    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.

  • Envy 17 3D primary HDD to SSD update

    I was wondering the steps I need to take in order to upgrade my current 640GO 7200 HARD for one SSD drive. I read this thread on compatibility, so I'm aware of some issues, I might.
    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/hardware-upgrades-replacements/envy-17-SSD-compatibility/TD-p/1251555

    I have a 3D Envy 17, I bought around this time last year so its probably an Envy 17-1000 - series 17-1099.  It came with w7 home preinstalled on a 640GO HDD 7200.  I want to put a SSD in the main location and use the 640 current in the secondary location.  I caddy HARD drive for secondary housing already I just need to know what are the steps I have to take for the SSD installs successfully.

    Here are some questions I have:

    1. I know that envy is sata2 but most SSDS are sata3, sata3 SSD would be compatible with my desire?
    2. Use you the backup disc made from the 640 GB HARD drive and install it on the SSD or I'd get a new copy of w7 to install?
    3. If using a new copy of w7 pro would be the system, the video card drivers and 3d pose a problem since it is is not version of w7 HP?
    4. When the SSD is finally installed I can just pop my 640 in the secondary drive slot and pull the personal folders, and then format it or I don't get the personal files of beforhand?

    Hello

    Q1: Yes it is compatible.

    Q2: I suggest to create a reduced recovery dvd in the HP Recovery Manager. Solid discs are not as large as the original hard drive and it can lead to problems during the restoration of the system on an ssd.

    Q3: An OEM of Windows disk can be used to perform a new installation and download the necessary drivers from HP.

    Q4: Yes, just install the hard drive in the Bay secondary and working as a slave drive so save all the data you need and then reformat...

    Standard Portable SSD will perfectly fit the standard of the computer laptop HARD drive. Many SDS are now thinner, but sellers will provide a piece of plastic to make them thicker.

    Yes, you can move on to larger capacity. 500 GB is a sweet spot. Now, they are much cheaper. Many vendors autour but only use popular suppliers. I have no luck with few suppliers, their products work by some reasons. I know that Samsung, Sandisk, SSD Crucial work on my machines.

  • HP Envy 15-j002eg mSATA SSD update

    Hello people I'm planing to buy this beautiful model, it has a nice card but lacks in the part of the HARD drive.
    It comes with 12 GB of RAM. Now, I am planning to buy an mSATA SSD of 24 GB or more and put it in the slot mSATA for thing Intel Rapid Storage for max etc. I saw him really increase the speed of the HARD drive performance upward loading times, etc. But I saw somewhere that it cannot work with 12 GB of RAM on this model? Is it true or not? Thanks for helping me!

    You don't find it in the BIOS, but if you use Magic Jelly Bean you can extract a validated/activated copy running on the computer. You must never post again. If you install from a Windows OEM 8 DVD the key Code will be just placed in the operating system and magically valid and active automatically. You will also need a USB Intel Rapid Storage driver to power the operating system during installation as storage is defined as a matrix RAID if a normal hard drive and a GSU are both present.

  • 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.
