• 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.

• Ultrabook Envy6-1100sl: install a 2nd OS on the msata SSD - Envy6-1100sl

  Hi, I upgraded my envy6 with 16 GB Crucial RAM and 500 GB samsung SSD evo. After upgrade, I did a clean install of windows 10 and stopped to use the itegrated msata ssd. My question is:
  Can I install a second operating system on the msata ssd? Can this bios read the second OS on the msata? Is there a procedure to follow?
  Thank you

  Thanks for suggesting it, but I've created a simple way... I just installed the second OS on the msata. At startup the sistem starts automatically on my main drive (500 GB win10), but if I press F9 when starting, I can see my linux on second drive (32 GB msata) and just choose to start when I need.
  Don't need to grub or similar just manual choice, and that's what I wanted!

• Any suggestion about the msata SSD?

• E530 Lenovo. The graphics-upgradeoption GT635M use the mSATA slot?

  Hello community,

  When I chose the upgradeoptions for the E530 I'll buy something confuses me. The graphics card has been described as WWAN and capable mSATA. The question is, the graphics card uses the slot mSATA? It would be a shame, because I wanted to build in an ssd. I contacted my local support and they told me, he would. On the other hand... they were absolutely sure that the Intel HD IGP use the mSATA-slot, that would be... strange...

  So.Has anyone of you you have experience with the GT635M in the E530?

  Oh, and in the store there are two different E530. One with a resolution of 1366 x 768 and the other with the HD screen + with a resolution of 1600 x 900. Why Lenovo does not heat wave-red and blue Artic cover version of 1366 x 768 and more importantly for me, why it does not allow coverage of midnight-black on the version 1600 x 900? They're both the same size! And I think that its importance for the cover of the laptop what resolution got the screen. Is it possible to change the lid without breach of the warranty or changing the order?

  (It has not been sent or built still)

  Thanks for your replies in advance.

  (ps: in English is not my native language, I want to apologize a writing /-spelling in the text )

  about the cover of the screen, I'm not too sure. But I had asked this question for some clients Australian just now, the response I got from Lenovo was that it was the configuration of configuration that they possessed, that they could not change their system.

  My theory is that Lenovo has limited display 1600 x 900 coverage option in order to simplify the system of inventory they had. As the upper display resolution would be selected only by a small group of customers.

• The Msata SSD on HP Pavilion 14-n033TX update

  Hi, I bought my new laptop HP Pavilion 14-n033TX with SSD specified 24 GB cache. I want to upgrade the SSD in drive for windows startup and have more storage for SSDS? The specifications of the SSD I need? m sata, half size or size and what is the maximum size for this? Thank you.

  There are several ways to do so. Several SSD (Samsung for example) is issued with migration software (CD), but you'll need an adapter usb to SATA like that.

  http://www.Amazon.com/Patuoxun-converter-adapter-cable-drive/DP/B008ASF5MC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1407765939&SR=8-1&keywords=USB+to+SATA

  Just connect the external SSD drive with this device and the boot of cloning a disk and follow the prompts to copy. Make sure the SSD you buy is greater than the data currently installed on the old drive. The clone will smoother copies two disks of the same size, but you can resize. Just be careful actual scores of Windows 8 that in some cases if you make them too small, you can't start or system of things like the Windows backup will not work.

  If you have another external drive, you can also do a full Windows system backup and then restore the backup by using a Windows repair disk or OS installation disc.

  Personally, I use Acronis True Image 2014 (older versions will not work with Windows 8).

  http://www.acronis.com/en-us/personal/pc-backup/?adpos=1t1&device=c&network=g&matchtype=b&creative=44836518617&gclid=Cj0KEQjw06GfBRCR9tDI4t6n5_MBEiQAFo6kuKlWUPWzHg3ZofpygwRHifSLDq0VVFocq9wW9ZF1gqMaAttq8P8HAQ

  The trial version used to work for cloning, but they removed this feature. It costs $50 now; for me is worth I clone a lot of readers, but you probably want something for free.

  When you cloned the old disk to the disk SSD just Exchange the SSD in laptop hard drive Bay.

• Portege R930 - upgrade the mSATA SSD succssfull

  Just briefly, I wanted to report an SSD upgrade.

  When I got my Portege R930 (PT331E, i7) two years ago, I changed the HD to a PRO 840 Samsung SSD 512 GB (big improvement). Now, this SSD is too small (photos!) and I wanted to increase the capacity up to 1 TB.

  But instead of a new SATA, I decided to go for an mSATA + adapter SATA I felt an mSATA unit would be more "evolutionary" - next update of the laptop for me would be a Portege Z, who use mSATA.

  So I bought a Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB with a Delock adapter/converter mSATA SSD, made a clone of the Apricorn cable and the software switched the SSD and everything works fine (actually a little faster )! At first I tried to use the clone with software from Samsungs migration but this didn t work, maybe I didn t the right version.

  -Now I have a lager SSD that will live longer than my R930. Please note that I'm not an expert with computers - just a happy user Toshiba! Thanks for a good forum with my good ideas!

  Concerning
  / Anders

  So, I bought a Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA 1 TB whole with a converter/adapter Delock...
  .. .and everything works fine

  Good news Lao!
  Thanks a lot for the comments...

  I also upgraded my laptop with a 250 GB SSD drive and now I think of a larger SSD... I should consider your solution now...

• Can I use any mSata SSD with ExpressCache?

  Hello

  I'm buying a X230i and I want to increase the performance with a SSD cache drive, as I have on my desk.

  I've been watching this disc; Kingston SSDNow v + 30 GB mS200 (http://www.kingston.com/en/ssd/s#sms200s3), that seems advantageous, that need to be or I might as well buy an SSD 'normal '...

  But it'll work in a X230i and I can use the ExpressCache software with it?

  Best regards

  Morten

  Hello

  I do not have a X230i, but I have a 220 X, and I successfully running Windows 7 and Windows an mSATA 120 GB SSD and Windows 8.0 8.0 and 8.1 of a 240 GB inside mSATA.  So I think that these drives would work in the most recent series of X230i thus, as long as it wasn't anything physically blocking a mSATA card installation.

  Kind regards

• Tecra Z50-A-180 does not start using the new SSD OCZ Vertex 460

  Hello

  I bought an SSD OCZ Vertex 460 for Tecra Z50-A-180 but the system only started only not with this device.

  BIOS detect SSD but not find any system start-up.

  I cloned the old SSD HARD drive, but the system does not boot with SSD.

  I installed the firmware 1.03 on OCZ.

  I await response.

  Thank you to

  What program did you use to clone?
  Maybe it's not compatible with the version of Windows.

  If you load a new copy of Windows or Ubuntu on the SSD can it start?

• Pavilion 2000: Using the system restore

  I used the system restore in the past and I know it took a few hours to complete with good results, as it eliminated the problem. Last week, I used the restoration of the system, the screen turned blue and the restoration began however this continued for more than 3 days!  I was unable to use my laptop for so long. I saw a blue screen with an icon swirling in the Center. Miraculously, the day 4, he came back to life, but immediately began to update the apps I had checked to only not to do. It took an extra day. Actually, now it's back to normal. I am now afraid to use the restoration of the system again. What I've done wrong?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum.

  Could you provide your full computer model - information can be seen from the service tag sticker > > http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Miscellaneous-Topics-Read-Only/Advice-for-asking-the-quot-Very-Best-Question-quot/td-p/83280 ?

  Could you confirm your OS - is this Windows 8/8.1 now?

  I see your previous thread in the attempt to upgrade to W10...

  I'm not sure about what you were wrong (if anything), but

  System Restore is a feature of Windows that usually takes minutes (30 minutes max) in full, not hours, not days. It restores the Windows registry, files/settings of the system to a previous state and is generally quick.

  Do you mean the system recovery or system reset/refresh?

  These are different things. These restore original Windows or format partitions on HARD drive - it can take an hour or 2-3 max but not days.

  If these (especially system restore) lasts days, there is indeed something wrong with the operating system.

  Looking forward to your confirmations.

• P6 - 2316 s: to use the new SSD Seagate

  Bought a new Seagate 240 GB SSD.  Like to use as my drive in my p6 - 2316 s (and use my old primary school for data storage).

  PC supplied with Windows 8 (later updated 8.1), but not to reinstall DVD was included.  Prefer to use Win7 Pro, I have a disk and key for.

  Hung of SSDS in place of the old HD, put the DVD of installation in the drive and rebooted.  As the computer woke up, doesn't seem to be DVD playback.  A few minutes later, I got and error message saying no detected bootable media.

  The p6 does not from CD/DVD rom first?  Is there another step I need to perform to install the OS?  Not sure what the startup BIOS, or setting.

  Thank you.

  Thank you Frank and Dean.  It seems that I am running, with all my devices running.  Installed Windows 7 Pro SP1 without any problem.  Thank you very much!

• Tecra R840 mSata SSD installation in module 3G position

  Hello
  I have a Tecra R840-110 model, there is also a 3 G module inside, I would install the mSata SSD pcie slot.
  Is possible to use the mSata SSD instead of module 3 G pcie slot?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  I think that something like this is not possible. Card mother ports are not a kind of flexible ports.
  In the past, that Toshiba gave the second HARD drive, upgrade instead of the optical drive using special adapter.
