    This thread is for discussions specifically about upgrading the hard drive to SSD.
    It seems there are so many discussion just about upgrading to SSD I thought perhaps it'd be more organized if there's a thread just for it?


    What drives are you guys looking at for Envy 15? Also what do you guys plan on doing? SSD + HDD? just SSD?

    I see this which seems superb but a little on expensive side:
    240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive

    Here are some on the cheaper side:
    SanDisk Extreme SSD 120gb at $74.99 and 240gb at $149.99 on Staples AC PM to Amazon - Slickdeals.net

    Links:
    -Mini details about swapping HDD to optical and SSD to main slot
    -Installing windows after switching (Envy out of the box guide)
    -post showing an ssd being installed into the optical drive bay.
    -Envy 15/17 Drivers

    I'm kinda a noob myself when but plan on switching to SSD when I get my hands on the ivy Envy 15 I just ordered, anyone willing to do a full guide with pictures would be great!, I've search around this forum and have yet to seen one.
