My HP Envy 14, dismantled and ripped apart

March 7 2011, 7:37 AM  by Sathya

I had received a Kingston V100 SSD, and have been meaning to install it. Today, I finally set about doing it.

 

Unfortunately, there's no space add a secondary HDD/SSD. Ended ripping apart ( whatever was possible from my end anyway) to find out if there's any way to fit this. Next step would be to convert the existing 500GB internal HDD into a eSata drive, perhaps so that I can install the SSD

    It was easy and went without any hitches using the software that came with the drive to image my HDD to the SSD from Kingston. They also sent a USB enclosure for the HDD when imaging the drive. That worked just fine for me as well.

    Good luck!

    7200rpm 2.5" HDD with a USB 2.0 enclosure = CRIME.
