About HP Envy 15 J037tx mSATA SSD

[Isuru_HeShanz]

have,

HP envy 15 j037tx laptop (not touch display model)

i7 

4GB

1TB

2GB sep. VGA

Also have mSATA slot in my laptop

Then, 

I have seen numbers of times this laptop can accelerate the HDD drive by using mSATA, so i have seen 24GB and 32GB capacity which can include for tha laptop,

 I have few questions 

* What is the correct mSATA capacity that should we include into mSATA SSD slot,

 24GB or 32GB mSATA SSD / both ?

* Can't we use high capacity mSATA SSD for as a primary boot drive? (i mean if i have a 128GB or more capacity msata ssd,       then i can install OS to the drive and set as a primary boot drive)

@Isuru_HeShanz 

mSATA on your machine is for cache. You can use mSATA slot for SSD, normally it is shorter therefore you won't get larger capacity SSD but 128GB or 240GB is ok. Please use the following tutorial

HP envy 15 J037tx laptop has msata slot for accelerate the HDD drive,

then as you tell, if I include 128GB mSATA SSD or  240GB mSATA SSD for msata slot, whether laptop can support these capacity mSATA SSD's for Primary OS boot

I also need to ask from you,

I searched mSATA SSD by e-commerce web sites, number of mSATA SSD's are there, but,

mSATA SSD 128GB and mSATA SSD 120GB are available, 

what is the different  between these capacities ?   

And what is the recommended mSATA SSD capacity as you tell for make windows OS bootable drive ?
