Swapping HDD to mSata SSD boosting HP Elitedesk USDT bootup from 6mins to 14secs

- My Apologies, it is an ancient Desktop running 4th Gen i5-4590 with 8GB RAM, but after swapping to SSD, it is running like Tesla Model S Performance.
Slow HP EliteDesk 800 G1 USDT with 320GB HDD swapped with 250GB mSata SSD boosting performance, especially bootup time from 6mins reduced to 14secs. running on Win10 Pro.
Before you start cloning, please go to CMD and do chkdsk /f - this will save you a lot of trouble and failed cloning process.
1:17 Cloning tools- use Samsung Data Migration as I'm cloning to Samsung 250GB mSata SSD. But you can used Macrium Reflect for other mSata SSD or any SSD.
5:16 Video also show disassembling the Drives bracket, to install mSata SSD and also mPCIE wlan board. flat head screwdriver for drive bracket and small philip head or hex head for mSata screws (depending on what m1.6x3 screws you bought/have)
6:54 mSata and mPCIE slot - If you using mSata or mPCIE board, you need to buy m1.6x3 screws first from your hardware store, eBay or Aliexpress. I got 50 pieces for $1(minimum order)
If you are using Samsung Data Migration, it is a 100% clone, and your Disk Manager will put one of your device off line, so you cant use both device hook on to the Elitedesk, I took out the HDD, and the 250GB mSata SSD is running superbly. I plug a 2.5" 500GB SSD into the HDD drive bracket to use as a data drive.
If you are using other cloning tool, HP Bios or Win 10 might not boot up, or will pop out that your Win 10 is not Activated, so you need to key in the product key.
8:53 First time on booting up after swapping, press the ESC key to go BIOS Menu and select the boot up Priority, or press F9 to select boot Priority, make sure UEFI device is at the top.
If you are installing mPCIE WLAN board, make sure you connect the 2 antenna wires. Read the HP Manual below.

thank you so much for identifying the screw size for the mSATA drive!!!
You are most welcome🤓 Thanks for watching this old poor quality video, (first few experiment) with no audio.
Hola John, muy ilustrativo tu vídeo. Pero no me quedó claro si el sistema inicia desde el mSata o desde el SSD normal.
Hola Eduardo, thanks for viewing my video. I boot up my system from the mSata SSD, but can also boot up from the normal SSD, using the BIOS setup (at 8:53 mark). I clone the mSata SSD first. If you want to start from normal SSD, select the boot device at the BIOS setup. Muchas Gracias.
Great Video. Excuse me, May I upgrade a PC like this to 1 TB mSATA SSD? Thank You. Have a Great Day.
Yes, you can upgrade using 1TB mSATA SSD, what's the size of your original HDD?
Ok, Thanks. I think it's 320GB, I don't be sure. Another question: the 1 TB mSATA SSD can run the S.O. ? Thank You.
After you clone your 320GB HDD to the 1TB SSD, you can use Disk manager to partition the unused 680GB in the SSD. sorry what is S.O.?
I'm sorry, I mean O.S. (Windows Operating System). Thanks a lot. Good Night.
Yes, after cloning, it will boot up on your installed OS. I used Macrium cloning tool, but if you use Samsung SSD, you can use the Samsung cloning tool, which is hassle free.
Don't know if you're aware of it but the mSATA slot isn't SATAIII 6Gb/s it's only SATAII 3Gb/s the HDD drive slot is however SATAIII 6Gb/s going by crystal disk info & the optical SATA connector is SATAI 1.5Gb/s.
Greg, thanks for your info,
It is not easy to follow the instruction, like where the hell he puts the cloning partition at?
Sorry, for the late reply, it is an old video. This video assume you are cloning from your HDD to a SSD. The SSD should have a bigger capacity than your HDD system and program files data . ie if your HDD data is 800GB please get a 1TB SSD. In my video, the HDD capacity is 320GB but it only contains 109GB of data, so I used a 120GB SSD. The cloning App (Macrium reflect or Samsung Data Migration) will do the partitioning, if you follow the Instruction, at 2:25 mark, like pulling down the partition 1, 2, 3 from the HDD to the SSD. I followed the Macrium RUclips video, and don't find any difficulty. Unless your HDD data is bigger than the SSD capacity, then you have to transfer the Data to another storage, to make it smaller than your SSD, If you transfer program files, to other storage, then after cloning your SDD may boot up, but your programs wont work. For a novice, it is better to use SSD with at least the same capacity as the HDD data and System file. Just click on properties of your C: drive to see the usage, and if your program files are in the D:, then check also the D: usage. The SSD size should then be C: + D:, if you are not a novice, of course, you can do other ways, which is beyond my scope. I just want to show that my machine is running super fast boot up of less than 20 secs, when I replace the HDD with a SSD.
