Another use for my Envy is to play HD/3D0 series/films and mirroring them to my Smart TV (using Miracast) I don't use the Envy for i.e gaming or editing video but I work with VMWare Workstation and most of the times I need to use about 2 or 3 VM at the same time (sometimes when resuming a VM from Suspension it take some time, Virtual Disks sizes about 40 GB).

I have looked for several SSD mSATA drives in the Web and I've chosen a Samsung P830 Series128GB SSD mSATA miniPCI-E drive (SATA III 6Gbps, Read 500 MB/s, Write 400 MB/s).īut I'm questioning myself about what could be the best option for using the SSD mSATA drive, if fits better as a primary drive (installing OS and leaving 1 TB HDD for apps and storage) or using it as a cache memory for improving general performance. I'm planning to purchase a SSD mSATA drive to my Envy, because I want to improve response time when opening some programs, improve general performance of the Operating System and accessing faster to big files (read and write). Product: HP Envy 15t Sleekbook (15t-j100)
