• Y580 - do I have to install a 256GB SSD mSata instead of the 32 GB one?

  Hello

  I bought a Y580 with 750 + 32 GB SSD. I want to buy a Crucial M4 SSD mSATA and install it in place of the 32 GB one.

  Should what additional things I do this? Should I just covers or padding for her? Will it screw? In addition, it would be possible for my to install a new copy of Windows 7 on SSD?

  Would be really helpful if someone who's done this before post some links to the material I need.

  Thank you!

  For the size of the screws, refer to this topic

  I'm not sure but I think that all the msata ssd are not the same size.
  For the installation of OS on ssd there was no problem because the size of the ssd 256 GB, which should be more than enough.
  Just to make a note, I want you to know that you can make use of the 32 GB ssd so by merging both the ssd and HDD by using fast disk. For this, you need to install the os on the ssd and join the readers. Read this document for more information

• [Y580] SSD - mSATA vs SATA

  Hello

  I have a Y580 comes with the 7200 500 GB HDD. I think about adding 120GB SSD, but there are 2 solutions:

  1: buy a new mSATA SSD and add in the free space inside the laptop (from what I remember, there is enough room for it)

  2nd: buy a new SATA SSD and add it instead of the actual HARD disk (which I'll use an external enclosure to external hard drive).

  We suggest to you? Is significantly faster than the mSATA SATA? It is always worth to carry an external hard drive just to use the SATA SSD?

  What model\brand advise you?

  Hi you

  Today bought an ssd Crucial M4 256 GB SATA600 mSata for my HP Pavilion DV7-1090ed laptop.

  The Board is mounted correctly depending on the tv tuner card.

  The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP2.

  I completely understand fks.  Thank you so much for that clarification.

  This laptop has no document referring to an mSATA compatible player.  The section of the guide that you posted above is in reference to SSD 2.5 "normal readers.  Everything (not detected, no driver, no mention of the support mSATA in the guide and no BIOS option) pointing to him not be supported, unfortunately.  It does not appear that you will be able to get this working.  I wish I could be more useful.

• 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.

• 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.

• ADD/REPLACE SSD ON HP ENVY 15-j059nr

  Hello

  I have a HP ENVY 15-j059nr Quad Edition Notebook PC

  I want to upgrade the hard drive because I do a lot of video editing.

  with the 15-j059nr as I bought it I have a 750 GB drive at 5200 rpm and small 24 GB SSD for acceleration

  I want to replace either the 5200 disk 750 GB pm or 24 GB msata with an SSD or a msata SSD ssd

  If I remove the msata 24 GB ssd that is installed now what will happen? I understand it is used for acceleration and it also has the image of windows 8 on it for recovery purposes. Preferably, I would like to leave the 750 GB drive in place and put a 250 GB SSD msata in place of the stock 24 GB that came with my laptop.

  What do you recommend?

  Thank you

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  Page 44 shows how to access the drive of the WSSD. It is not too difficult. However, replace it with a bigger WSSD and using this drive as boot drive are a bit complex. In wholesale, if a regular reader is installed the system starts the mssd. You will need to load a bootstrapper on the main drive, pointing to the WSSD drive where the operating system.

  Now the MSSD and the primary drive are set up in a sort of RAID array where the WSSD holds files frequently consulted for quick access. In fact, she does not have the recovery partition; It is on the main drive. Usually this works quite well for faster boot times and lance program and gives the "feel" of a faster system. For you, doing video editing, it is not ideal at all. You access videos from the slow drive 5400 RPM and the WSSD help at all since you only go once image files, and they are too big to pass on the WSSD. You'd still have this problem of access slow disk as long as you try to work on large video files that are found on the disk 5400 RPM for the WSSD boot drive is also not an ideal solution.

  Your best solution is a full size 2.5-inch SSD. You can remove the MSSD completely and just replace the disk of concert by the glaciers slow 5400 RPM 750 with more great one SSD as the budget allows. Post back if you need any help to find one or any other form of assistance.

• 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

• Portege R930: replace card mSata with SSD

  Hello

  I wanted to replace the 128 GB hard drive in my laptop. I bought a 256 GB SSD and read the User Guide.
  I don't see anything about the replacement of disc inside.
  When I open the PC, I discovered that there was an mSata card.
  Is it possible to replace a card with an SSD mSata?
  There is a small connector but I don't know I'll have to buy a new one (what kind of connector?).
  More important still there no information in the Guide of the user on this whole process.
  Is there someone doing this?

  Kind regards.

  I think you need to get the drive replaced by a 2.5 cable cable ".
  If the player is not in good physical shape, you may need to get the other parts replaced as well.

  This may be a better idea to return the SSD and buy an mSATA SSD instead.
