Can I Install an msata SSD in Envy 14-2010TX (QB422PA)

I have an Envy 14-2010TX Beats Edition (Model QB422PA#AB5).
As the current WD 750GB HDD is quite slow, I was planning on installing a msata (say 80GB) and using Intel Smart Response Technology to provide SSD caching on the larger HDD.
I need the capacity so can't really just swap out the HDD for a SDD (even a 512GB SSD is not enough)
Having taken the HDD out and looked, it appears the system has an msata port under the existing 750GB HDD, but I cannot tell if it's electrically active (I can see the female socket and screw holes as if it's ready for an msata card to plug in).
First, I need to know if this is possible from a hardware perspective (e.g.. is the msata port active, will it be recognised if ssd installed), and secondly, I do not see any related (e.g.. RAID, etc.) entries in the BIOS so how would this be set up?
Could anyone please help with this, possibly through your own experience, of from a HP technicians perspective?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

No SSD for Envy 14 anymore?

Hi everyone,
I was going to buy Envy 14 with the most hardcore hardware available, but right now there is no SSD option. Should I wait a bit or there will be no SSD anymore?
Thanks!
A.J.

There is an SSD option. All you have to do is configure it the way you want it. See the following image.

Hi,
I don't think there is any limit on that. I believe that anything up to 500GB will definitely work and most likely even drives up to a 1TB. Samsung is a very popular brand with Evo and Pro series drives. I'd go for one of them.

Msata SSD in Envy laptop

Hi,
I'd like to install an msata SDD in my laptop, I know I have an empty msata slot, but it is meant to be used for fastboot files (according to my manual). If I put my own 256GB SSD there, will it only be usable for boot?, or can I also store user files on it???
Thanks so much in advance!

Dear Customer,
Welcome and Thank You for posting your query on HP Support Forum
The mSATA port on the motherboard can be used as a cache drive to a Hard Disk Drive with an Operating System installed on it to give it a performance boost.
Cache drives are used primarily by people who can't afford a large SSD to install their O/S and most frequently used programs on.
I’m sure that the mSATA port is used strictly to cache a HDD with an O/S installed on it and we cannot use mSATA as Primary SSD to store files on it
Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

HP ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Ed. Upgrades/Modifications

Hello All,
My next laptop will most likly be the ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition with Windows 8 Professional. However I have several questions before I purchase this machine. I hope the knowledge base here can help.
1) Is it possible to reconfigure the laptop to use the mSATA SSD hard drive acceleration cache as the primary boot drive?
2) The ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition can be optioned with a 24GB mSATA SSD. What is the maximum memory capacity this laptop will recognize? ie, 64Gb, 128Gb, 256GB....
3) When customizing the ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition through HP's Customize and Buy, why am I limited to 8Gb of memory when selecting 24Gb mSATA Acceleration Cache?
4) Is there a limit to the memory capacity of HHDs and SSDs the ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition is capable of recognizing?
5) The ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition comes with two drive bays. What are the physical limits for hard drives in the bays? Specifically, will 15mm 2.5" HDDs fit?
6) If I purchase the ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition with an empty 2nd HDD bay, will I need to purchase additional adaptors and/or cables in the future to attach a second HDD?
I do apologize for so many questions however if I'm going to pay more than $1200 for a laptop I need to ask a few. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.
For those interested this possible future buy is replacing an 8 year old HP Pavilion ZV-6130us Windows XP Pro SP3 with 2Gb RAM, a 256Gb primary HDD and a 2nd 1Tb HDD in the optical drive bay. The only failures in 8 years was one cooling fan 2-3 years ago and the optical drive 4 years ago. This HP has been good to me.
Again, Thanks.

Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blueray and SSD drive?

HI all,
Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blue ray and SSD drive?
cheers

You can upgrade from HDD to SSD drive, but will not recommend it as it will void the warranty on the unit.
Pertaining to bluray drive, you might have some compatibility issues unless you find the right model.

SSD Cache in HP ENVY Phoenix 800-445qe doesn't seem to be installed right

I have a newly purchased HP ENVY Phoenix 800-445qe which includes what's supposed to be a 16gb ssd cache. Running WIndows 7 Pro 64.
The ssd drive was factory installed so it shows in Windows as with the name DATADRIVE1 (doesn't sound like it was intended as a cache, does it?) and it shows as drive E:. My understanding is that if it were really installed as a cache, it wouldn't be showing as a drive in Windows Explorer.
The HDD was set as ACHI in BIOS, not RAID. The Intel RST screen in firmware (accessable through Ctrl-I) shows both drives as non-RAID Disks. The HP support assistant shows the Intel RST x 64 driver v 13.2.0.1016 installed.
Elsewhere on the HP site is a support article with the title: A Seondary 16 GB Drive Shows up in Windows 8 File Explorer, which is the problem I'm having except, I have Win 7, not 8; it says to download a softpaq with release notes that say it only applies to HP ENVY HP-8 systems and requires Win 8; it's fix is to install Condusiv ExpressCache, which I'm under the impression is an alternative to Intel's RST, not something that works with it. So that doesn't seem to be the fix I'm looking for. HP Tech Support's helpful suggestion was to find a local computer dealer an pay them to fix it. (Yeah, right.)
Does anybody here know how to get this thing working?

There ain't no such thing in the Control Panel. *sigh*
Let me jump off in a very different direction, because as this point I've probably wasted more time on this than the cache can ever save me over the life of the system....
I have a 128GB SSD on order that I was going to install as my data drive, and then keep it backed up on a partition on the HDD. That's almost twice as large as my OS+Programs partition on my current XP machine. I'm thinking maybe I should bail on the whole cache thing, install the 128GB drive as my OS+Programs drive, and set up the 16 GBs as a data drive (since it seems to be set up that way already anyway. That's a little small, but I can make it work if I move older data files to the HDD as a kind of near line storage.
Unless you know of a reason I can't do that--like the mSATA SSD won't work as a drive--the question then becomes, how do I set up the 128GB SSD as the OS drive? I see two possibilities:
The first would be to use the HP restore image function to initialize the SSD, so it has the EFI partition with the Boot information, and then use Norton Ghost to restore the Ghost image I've created from my now customized Drive C (removing bloatware etc) to the new SSD.
The second--which could be a lot easier-- would be to make a ghost image of the entire drive of the current HDD and then use Ghost to restore the image to the 128GB SSD.
Do you know if either or both of these approaches will work?

Adding SSD cache to Envy 4t-1000

Hello, a couple months ago I purchased an Envy 4t-1000 laptop, I have since then installed an additional 4GB of RAM and have began to wonder wether it would be possible to add an SSD (in addition to my current Hard drive). I know Envy laptops can be configured to include such an SSD cache when purchased directly from HP but would it be possible for me to add it myself? Also, does anyone know the specifics (i.e. size) of the SSDs used on 4t-1000s? Thank you for any help.

See the solution here for some help and yes you may do it your self.

Laptop hard drivers are pretty much a standard size of 2.5 inches. Some of the larger ones are thicker because they contain more platters, but when dealing with and SSD that doesn't really apply here any way.
Post in this thread if you have any questions.
The SSD is put in place of the standard drive and your old one can be then used a storage in the secondary bay.
If you buy the drive from HP chances are that it will come with the caddy and cable.
If you purchase a retail one you will then have to buy a caddy and cable. If you need help with this I will need your full model number.

That is interesting. Normally a bootmgr error message means that the boot loader is corrupt and hard disk not "dead".. Replacing the hard drive is a quickie shotgun method of resolving the issue.
Did you give up on the SSD?
The desktop ( w/ASUS Crossfire V Formula-Z mobo) I am using to type this, has the same SSD that you asked about. I used the method I described in the earlier post to clone the OS to the SSD. The SSD is the boot drive.

I have an HP ENVY TS 17 Notebook PC that I'm trying to install an ssd

I recently bought an HP ENVY TS 17 Notebook PC, nice laptop. Anyway, I bought a samsung evo ssd, I bought the drive caddy for it online, but I can not get the laptop to see the drive. I pulled it apart 5 different times thinking that I messed up. But after all that I still can't get it to work. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GIGJYBG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. This is the drive caddy that I bought. I thought this was the right one, but I don't know. If anyone can help me, please respond to this post. Thanks

Hello wily51501,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your notebook will not recognize a newly installed solid state drive (SSD).
Are you checking in the system BIOS to determine if the drive is detected, or with the HP Recovery / Windows software? Sometimes it's as easy as enabling the drive in the BIOS. You can find information on this here, covered on step 7: Installing or Replacing a Hard Drive
Here is a great guide that walks you through upgrading to an SSD: HP SSD Upgrade Kit Installation Guide. Furthermore this Maintenance and Service Guide has some more specific information for your exact notebook. It could be that the caddy you purchased is defective if the BIOS does not recognize the drive.
Here is a document published by Seagate that talks about drives that are not detected: The BIOS does not detect or recognize the ATA / SATA hard drive.
Hopefully this information helps!

Can I install a SSD on an optical drive in a HP Envy Phoenix

I just purchased a customized HP ENVY Phoenix Desktop - 810-350se CTO with a Raid 5 configuration (3 x 2 TB), but I noticed and researched that it seems that is better to have a SSD installed to have your computer access data faster, of course, I want to use it for the OS installed on it. So I have two questions?
1.) Can I change the configuration so I can add an SSD on a optical drive? (This will be the 4th drive). Since I am already using 3 HDD on a Raid 5 configuration and there wouldn't be any more space left, I am assuming that I can only use an empty optical drive space and install an SSD?
2.) Is there a limitation of how many drives and capacity HDD can be installed on the motherboard?
My proposed solution is to keep the 3 HDD and install a 4th drive (SSD) on the optical drive and use it for the OS (Windows 8.1).
Any suggestions and/or recommendations is highly appreciated it.
Thank you.

Hi,
Your PC is already using a Windows 8 boot loader and if you load the SSD in UEFI mode then you will add another Windows 8 boot loader to the eligible boot device menu. This will lead to confusion. I would suggest that you avoid this situation by trying the following procedure:
Be sure to create the external HP recovery media
Install the SSD on port 1 or 2
Disable secure boot in the BIOS and switch to legacy mode
Boot into the Intel OPROM and rebuild the RAID 5 array
Boot back into the BIOS and enable UEFI mode
Boot the external HP recover media and load the SSD (SSD recommended size is 240 GB or larger)
Once you are up and running then go into Disk Management and format the RAID array as GPT
The above procedure may or may not work but it's what I would first try.

Can I use a recovery disc on a new 120 GB SSD for HP Envy 17 that previously had 2 500GB RAID 0?

I currently have a HP Envy 17-2070NR. I would like to install a new SSD (120 GB) to replace one of the 500 GB HD that are currently in the laptop (the 2 drives are set up RAID 0).
If I install the new drive and remove the two old ones can I use the recovery discs to reinstall windows/drivers/default programs?

The 500GB MyBook Pro should work fine. Just be sure to use a Firewire connection (not USB) to your Mac and format the drive as Mac OS Extended - Journaled. It will come from the factory as FAT32, so you'll need to reformat it. But wait - don't reformat it until you offload the ButtonManager, FW Driver and Retrospect software. You will need the first two to install your drive.
And that's one of the reasons I stay away from the MyBook drives - they were really designed for Windows systems, not Macs. For one, they have their own FireWire drivers and I see no reason to be required to install device-specific drivers on my Mac in order to use a consumer-grade hard drive. As far as I'm concerned, that's just bad design (or, perhaps design for systems other than Macs ...).
The 500GB Lacie Big Disk did get a bunch of bad reviews. However, the 500GB Lacie d2 Extreme is the same price and has much better reviews. The Lacie d2 Extreme drives are quite reliable; I have many and not one of them has failed me over the years. The 320GB d2 Extreme is currently $140 at newegg.com. See how that compares to the price of the MyBook.
