HP OMEN 15 (new style): I want to buy an OMEN of HP, but HP makes it difficult to understand this situation of HARD drive.
I spent the last hour trying to understand it and I hope someone here can answer my question.
If I configure and buy a harbinger of 15 HP with 16 GB of RAM and 512 m 2 GB PCIe SSD NVMe fully spec'd with the best i7 and 965 m 4 GB, I'll be able to add on an extra HDD as a secondary drive? I don't care if it's mechanics or SSD for high school, but if I buy an omen of HP configured with just the m2 PCIe NVMe SSD can later, I add to the system or will I be returned on a single hard drive internally for ever?
I found a lot of configurations all over the internet, but no details, so I decided to say F #@! He and just build a machine from HP directly and know exactly what is inside, information is not really available anywhere and I get why, it cancels a guarantee to change a system, but the information readers still my decision to buy a machine that I can update or not.
I know I can buy their free model labelled 'value' with the 1 TB or 2 TB + m2 SATA SSD but that term kind of scares me in a computer in this price range and SATA has been pretty slow for standards with the 128 GB SSD SATA SSD drives. HP also seem to leave no mention that it is SATA on the page of product information, that I found convenient.
So is there someone who has successfully added a secondary drive to the only version m2 512 GB PCIe SSD NVMe? Or someone who has added a M.2 SSD PCIe to one of these models 'value' that pair the 5400 or 7200 RPM with a SATA SSD of m2? This stuff m2 is kind of a blur without real reason.
The real sales staff seemed confused that I even asked on a hard drive...
Have you ever seen the Manual:
A couple of things stand out. The slot for the WSSD m2 drive can take a SATA or a PCi-e version. There is only one slot m2 and you have the opportunity to each of the types of player, so that they are interchangeable.
See page 33. The m2 slot is just to the left of the battery. The drive Bay is above the right side of the laptop battery can physically handle both types of readers at the same time.
The big problem is that the hard drive rails (in brackets) are "not spared." Page 18. This means that you can not order from HP. You might find a third-party provider who has but, seriously good luck with that.
So I think you'd better get one of these:
1 TB hard drive (7200 RPM) 9.5 mm + 256 GB SSD PCIe NVMe TLC M.2
OR
1 TB hard drive (7200 RPM) 9.5 mm + 128 m 2 GB SATA - 3 SSD (value)
If you do not order it with a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive, it is not possible to get the parts to add one in. If you are happy with a 256 GB PCIe, then the first configuration will be fine. I have a G3 15 Zbook which has a similar setup, and I got a 2.5-inch SATA SSD 512 gig in the hard drive Bay and then a m2 of Samsung PM951 NVME (pci-e), which is the boot drive.
I have the 256 GB version, but most high is 512. The combination gives me lots of storage (for me)... 3/4 gig and the drive of NVME m2 is quickly sick. For you, a 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM and then a NVME m2 could be just the ticket. If you get the second configuration, you can run the 128 gig SATA m2 (of a perhaps $ 50 retail value) and replace it with a model IS 512.
Although technically only an authorized technician is supposed to remove the back cover, it is not hard to do and you can probably (no guarantee) do it without voiding the warranty.

You can not buy CS5. Adobe sells only current products, i.e. CS6 or creative cloud. Creative cloud is a subscription model, which means that you rent the software as long as you want to use.

I have an OEM of Windows 7 version, so when I buy a new motherboard I intend to buy another copy of Windows 7. What will happen if I use the same hard drive?
Depending on the options you choose during installation. If you start from the installation DVD, you can only do an install custom, which means that your applications and hardware drivers will have to be resettled.

How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?
Hello
I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.
So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)
But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.
I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)
Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!
It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).
So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?
Thank you
Stéphane.> It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)
To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:
(* 1) * recovery of factory default software
(a) recovery to out of box state
(b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
(c) recovery of a custom size partition(* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.
I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition
What do you think?

Recovery is possible on the new hard drive?
Hello
I think about buying a new hard drive to improve the performance of my laptop Satellite.
I was wondering if it would be possible to restore my system using the recovery on the new hard drive disks.Thank you!
As far as I know you can do it. What you need is to buy hard drive compatible and functional.
By curiosity, but what model of laptop do you have and what hard drive you want to buy?
