Hi.
I currently own a HP Envy 15-ae065sa laptop (http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-ENVY-15-ae000-Notebook-PC/7771345/model/8296158/document/c04759742/?sku=M3Z01EA).
The 5400rpm drive is too slow so I was thinking of replacing the main drive with an SSD (850 Evo) however I don't want to open up the laptop to replace it and I also want to retain the 1tb storage. I found out that I can remove the optical drive by simply removing one screw on the bottom of the laptop and use a caddy to insert an SSD.
I would like to know if the optical drive connector is capable of running the SSD at full speed and also will putting an SSD in the drive bay cause any problems?
Thanks for your time.
