    Hello everyone,

    Now that SSD prices are down I would love your help and expertise on :

    1) SElecting an SSD drive that would be good for it. Newegg has some 512 gb SSD's for 340 ish. but not sure if they are good.

    2) What specs for an SSD do I have to worry about with my ENvy 14? (ex: motherboard doesn't support ... or only this size fits in the envy 14...etc.)

    3) Should I remove my CD drive (if possible) or existing HDD for the new SSD?

    4) Is there a guide to installing an SSD on 1st gen envy 14?

    Thanks so much!
