• mSATA SSD installed in Inspiron 15r SE 7520

  Hello

  I just finished the task of replacing marathon 32 GB SSD with a 240 GB mSATA we.

  I cloned my existing hard drive with Macrium reflect, and his beautiful fixed so far.

  I have a few questions tho.

  (1) the original 1 TB HARD drive and the new mSATA SSD have additional partitions hidden. There is a 500 MB EFI system partition, a 40 MB OEM partition, a recovery 490 MB, drive C partition (on the SSD and renamed E disk the disk of 1 TB) and a final recovery 12.16 GB partition.

  Can I remove the additional partitions since the original 1 TB drive? Do I need them on the new SSD more?

  (2) Intel rpaid start continuous technology to Flash a warning that he is not running. I've turned off to allow the DSS work. Then I uninstalled it. I get the warning tho. Any way I can get rid of him?

  Thank you!

  Ok thank you.

  If the million dollar question: how to do a fresh install of windows 8, or even windows 7 if it is easier, on the mSATA SSD?

  I tried from the DELL restore USB I did. No luck. Put the original image on 931 GB HARD drive.

  If all goes well a new facility can sort, which brings back me to the issue of the $ 1 million!

  EDIT:

  Think I've sorted it. I used macrium reflect to remove all hidden from the original HARD disk partitions. I changed the BIOS to boot from the mSATA SSD first, using UEFI and start-up.

  I uninstalled quick start windows 8 search engine. Everything looks good today.

• Inspiron 17R N7110 mSATA Mini (half size) SSD

  Hello

  I want to upgrade my laptop Inspiron 17R N7110 with a SSD for Windows boot. I have only one place where the HARD drive is already integrated and I want to keep the HARD drive.

  When I remove the dust inside the laptop the fan I saw the "mini card" (half) - Slot Machines. In one, I have WIFI, but the otherone is empty. So my idea was to add a Mini mSATA (half size) SSD.

  I saw this on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/MyDigitalSSD-Super-Cache-HybriDisk-Software/dp/B00JF4CUBO/ref=pd_cp_pc_0

  But I don't know if that would work (such as boot drive for Win8). Make this shape as a (half) "mini card"? Is SATA III to this slot machine supported? What I have to change in the BIOS?

  Thanks to all who responded.

  The hybrid propulsion system is the best option for this (short to get a full SSD) system - there is no way to put an mSATA SSD in this system.

  The system supports standard, 2.5 "hard drives up to 9.5 mm height.

• 2720 XPS does not start after replacing mSATA SSD 32 GB

  Hello

  I replaced the mSATA SSD 32 GB on my 2720 XPS with a Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD.

  When I go into the BIOS, I see the new drive mSATA.

  But when I try to start, I get the error "no boot device."

  I have not changed the settings in my BIOS after permutation of the SSD but I noticed that my first boot device is now internal hard drive instead of Windows boot device, or something in front.

  Any ideas? I tried not to put the 32 GB SSD back in again to see if it boots always.

  Thanks in advance.

  So, I called Microsoft and basically got told that, because I did a clean install on a separate disk that Windows was originally installed, they are unable to help me. I'll have to do a fresh install of Windows 8.1 on my SSD and then upgrade to Windows 10 from there.

  He mentions this particular fact nowhere on their website that provides the media tool!

  And the fact that the Dell rep, I spoke of na not know that particular nugget and asked me to do a clean install on the new disk did not help at all.

  Now I have to wait for Dell to send me a CD of Windows 8 so that I can install on my SSD and update from there.

  Beware if you are already on Windows 10 and planning to install it on a new drive!

• I have to remove mSata SSD on Inspiron 15R - SE (7520) during the SSD upgrade?

  I noticed that my laptop has a job 32 GB SSD mSata as cache for 1 TB HARD drive. However I intend to abandon this 1 TB HARD drive in DVD - Rom tray and slap in a SSD 128 GB... now the problem returns to the mSata SSD.

  the mSata ssd presents itself as 'LITEONIT LMT-32', its also show as SATA_array_0001 under the technology Intel Rapid Storage, with 8 GB data and 22 gb Cache volume.

  base on this site, to remove this mSata SSD seems to be a pain in the ass who require a full strip down.

  

  now I'm just amazing, what happens IF I let this mSata SSD in there, he will try to act as a cache for my SSD which is already much faster than it or the system is going to be smart enough to put my HARD drive cache. I will win ANY performance gain / lost in leaving the mSata SSD in? If not, is it possible to disable it?

  Hello again,

  If the installation is very easy. I made sure that the 32 GB msata, was disabled before I installed the new 240 GB SSD.

  After you disable acceleration - MAKE sure THAT YOU RESET to DISP - really important... Make sure the msata drive is empty, no partition.

  I removed the 1 TB drive, after I deleted the partition do not reformat... that I placed in a basket and I replaced the BD player...

  Let Intel rapid storage enabled in the Bios

  I installed the SSD and put the Dell OEM Windows 7 USB in and then I went... Because the other 2 drives had no any partition, left of Windows system reserves on the SSD> Windows will throw the reserve system on any other installed drive which has partitions, installing (reason msata and 1 TB of disk are not formatted)

  Once Windows 7 has been made and installed, I have download driver Intel Rapid Storage from Dell... and went in the administrative options... I formatted the 1 TB drive and initialized only msata 'no format.

  Returned to Intel Rapid Storage, and it was there, activate the acceleration. So I used only 22 GB for acceleration, on the storage of 1 TB drive 'former reader'... leaving me flying over 8 GB... Re-entered administrative options... and I formatted (NTFS) 8gbs... I used the 8 GB for my swap file, freeing up the 8 gb of OS "ssd s. - great idea, using a separate drive for the paging file.

  I'm sure that you can also use the 8 GB for your quick start too, but I do not use the quick start...

  Now, I have a 240 gb C500 and a Cached 1 TB 5400 RPM disk storage... I never really use the BD player... But I kept it just wrap... Reading and writing is great on this thing and if I decided to load my 425 GB of steam games, now I can load them on my storage drive, and it will always be super fast!

  Thanks for reading and I hope you find this useful!

• mSATA SSD as drive Bootable - Inspiron 17R 5720

  Thus,.

  I desperately need the SSD speed.

  I know that I can use caching to intesl commands, but I can't!

  • Intel® Smart Response Technology: This technology takes advantage of the speed of the SSD in caching where frequently used information is stored on the SSD instead of hard drive.
  • Intel® QuickStart technology: this technology allows the system to boot with - in seconds after the hibernation.
  This is what I want to do, put a 128 GB SSD drive mSATA in the slot, windows in the fire and use it as my OS & APPS, (c drive) drive, and then use the existing drive, the 1 TB of mechanical drive as the drive for storage (drive d).
  The dell site, say I can't use an MSATA SSD started with--I see no why!
  Can someone advise?
  Also, I can't find the mSATA specification... dunno if its 3 SATA or SATA 2.
  Thank you

  Yes it worked perfectly.

  Mine has been running for more than a year.

  Install mSATA

  Disconnect the HARD drive temporarily

  Set as Bootable mSATA in bios.

  Install windows on USB msata,

  Connect the HARD return drive.

  You now have mSATA as drive C: and the old 1 GB HARD drive as d: or e: drive. But you can change to the d: drive if it goes as a e reader, as mine did.

  IM opting out this thread now. It works and has been confirmed repeatedly. Buy the disc and crack on with it.

• Inspiron 17R 7720 mSATA question

  My Inspiron 17R 7720 has an mSATA SSD 32 GB. I thought, apparently incorrectly, that this disc was a startup disk that contains the operating system and has been used to provide a faster start of the OS. In response to another thread I posted an answering machine said my mSATA drive was a cache and did not contain any programs. Does that mean that there is no data stored permanently on the drive from mSATA? When the system is turned off, all data on the mSATA is lost? If so, what is the purpose of bigger disks mSATA? I see them more than 128 GB, a disc more capacious mSATA, how that my 32 GB disk does not want?

  32G disc puts cached the main reader - there IS data stored on it and more frequently data are accessible, more it is stored on the disk of 32G.  It is a COPY of the data from the hard drive, though - this is NOT a RAID 0 array.

  An mSATA cache (or a hybrid disc) will speed up playback from the HDD a little, but it is a pale imitation of the performance you get when you actually install and run the operating system completely of a native SSD.  This will improve the overall combined system vs. running a caching, hybrid or a conventional hard drive.

• 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!

• 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

  Alejandro

  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.

• Hard drive not detected after adding 2nd mSATA SSD for HP Envy 14 1002tx

  Hello

  I'm having a problem when adding an extra mSATA SSD for my HP Envy 1002tx model.

  The laptop comes with a 500 GB HARD drive and I see that there is a 2.5 "mSATA SSD slot under the HARD drive, so I bought the same type of SSD and installed it but when I turn on the laptop, it does not introduce yourself. I don't know why?

  I want to have an SSD for boot up the laptop and HARD drive to store animals.

  If anyone knows if there is any software I have to install in order for the laptop to recognize the SSD?

  OR

  Is - this material is defective?

  Thank you in advance!

  Remove the hard drive and try to start only with the mSATA SSD.

  Did this and it showed "No. Bootable Device Insert boot disk and press any key"

  I'm really sorry, I could not find this before, but the slot under the hard drive is not compatible with the mSATA disks. It's for WWAN modules! Your laptop is not like 4 I thought, but Envy 14 equipped with the first generation of Intel processors. Envy 14-Sandy Bridge 2000 series could be BIOS modded to make the miniPCI-e interface works with the mSATA disks but Envy 14-1000 series is not possible to change.

  Edit: 2.5 "drive 256GB solid state drive is listed as compatible.

• 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.

• HP Envy 15 J 048 tx: mSATA SSD for HP Envy 15 J 048 tx

  Hello!

  I have a HP Envy 15 J048-tx. I want to add an mSATA SSD on my PC and be able to boot from it all by using the HARD drive as internal storage device only. The goal is to make the system run faster (overall and games).

  I don't want to change the HARD drive as more large SSD storage capacity are quite expensive and adding an mSATA as disk startup seems to be a cheaper alternative. Current storage capacity of the PC is 1 TB and a 1 TB SSD will fix me by about 34 000 INR (which is a lot), while adding a 250 GB mSATA is about 7-8 000 INR and 500 GB is 12-13 000 INR. Already, I have a lot of external hard drives and do not want to reduce the storage capacity of integrated system, because that would be to buy more external hard drives.

  The PC came with Windows 8. Other details are

  1. Motherboard: Intel HM87 (revision of Southbridge - C2), 1963 HP (U3E1)
  2. BIOS: F.65
  3. Intel Core i7 4700MQ
  4. Storage: SATA-II 3.0 Gb/s
  5. RAM: 16 GB DDR3

  The product manual indicates this (pg 5 or pdf pg 13): Support for SSD drive 24-GB mSATA (not available on computer models with memory system 16834 - or 12288 MB)

  Contact HP support on twitter and got this response from there : supports 24GO mSATA (not available on models with 16834-MB system memory or 12288 MB) this should work, but the HP recovery media may not work to install, it may fail, the portion of due to the small size of disk partitioning.

  There seems to be an empty slot for the mSATA, but I can't remove the lid more as I don't have the tools for the same. (pictures attached)

  This post on the HP Support says that - the mSATA cannot be used for the operating system and that it is for the acceleration of a regular mechanical hard drive.

  Then there was this post for HP envy 15-j003tx touchsmart which mentions that it is possible to do it with a link on Laptopmag article for the same thing that got me a little confused.

  I also checked with my digital discount and the PC is not listed in the list of compatible devices. However, after going through the comments, I found there were people with any queries similar to me (but for different computers HP) and found this disc , which seems to be compatible. I thought I'd go with 128 GB one but don't know not then sought more. Then I scanned the PC using crucial.com and found these discs to be compatible too (250 GB & 500 GB).

  My questions:

  1. My PC is compatible with most mSATA SSD storage size?
  2. If so, that we go? 500 GB we have any extra advantage or a 256 GB disc will solve the purpose?
  3. The steps mentioned in the article of laptopmag need any changes?

  Images of the system after the opening of the back cover (1 & 2):

  

  

  You can add something big, but for 24 concerts for acceleration purposes are sufficient. If you can't find a 24 concert, you can use a 32. Any more than that would be wasted for pure acceleration. The accelerator contains the contents of the memory for a quick recovery from his sleep and also holds start-up files and then the .exe files for the programs that you frequently open like saying the browser or email.

  You can use a larger disk, repeat a 64 or 128 and let the Intel Rapid Storage create say a 30 GB partition for acceleration. The partition of the accelerator is not ntfs, or anything else Windows can be used as a storage device. You can then use the rest of the disc as a storage called disk formatted FAT32 or ntfs. If you do something like Photoshop or video editing it would give you a place to put work files that could be accessed and processed very quickly. But you can not use this partition as a startup or a Windows partition and it would take much diligence to prevent fill.

  If you decide to take the post of reader of acceleration from the establishment requires a configuration that is not totally intuitive.

  Thank you.

  Yes you can.

  After you have installed the mSata, clone your HARD drive for it. Remove the HARD drive, go to the Bios and make the mSata the first boot device, save the settings, close the Bios and start. After it is good boot, reinstall the HARD drive and format it for whatever your remove windows out of it.

• HP ENVY 15 notebook PC TS: mSATA SSD compatibility

  Hello!  I was wondering if my laptop is mSATA compatible III for my mSATA SSD slot

  I am installing a new mSATA and the manual says (page5) laptop computer supports up to 24 G only, so does this mean I can't add more than 24 G?

  is there any recommendation for what mSATA module which can I buy?

  My product name: laptop HP ENVY 15 TS

  My product number: J1Y24EA #ABU

  Any help will be very appreciated!  Thank you!

  Hello! Well here's how it goes

  The mSATA Slot is only used for as acceleration for A HDD Cache for better system Performance for anything else however you could reformat it for storage if you want, but 24GO is not that much

  If you want to upgrade to an SSD to replace your HARD drive you buy a SSD SATA 2.5 inch

  Who will go in place of your HARD drive in the Bay to start the computer and plug in the SATA cable

  Now to start until the new drive, you must reformat so you have to make or buy a HP recovery for your computer media

  Here is a link on how to do recovery HP Media
