svl7 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Normally I'd say it will work without issues, but HP seems to have fun to whitelist anything that is not soldered on... so I can't tell. Got a 8570W standing here at the moment, but no mSata for testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Inferno Fan Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I've seen reports on other forums that 8470/8570 doesn't have mSATA boot support but does work as a RAID-0 'caching' volume. One user reportedly did a Win7/8 installation onto the mSATA volume but the boot process used the bootmgr/BCD installed on his primary drive. Would love to give you a link but don't have it at hand. It was either hpfocus.com or 51nb.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baii Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 People have been putting 680m in 8760w/8770w,so it should not be a problem. Ivy bridge hp (i. E 8770w) dropped wifi whitelist even afaik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDboy Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 People have been putting 680m in 8760w/8770w,so it should not be a problem. Ivy bridge hp (i. E 8770w) dropped wifi whitelist even afaik.The WiFi whitelist is removed in this generation comercial notebook like 8770w, but the WWAN card whitelist is still existing.For msata storage, it is not suppoted yet for booting. But i do know if anybody can try if it will work for UEFI booting/installation.Thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valuxin Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 People have been putting 680m in 8760w/8770w,so it should not be a problem. GPU might be the most free-of-choice part of 8*60/8*70w series. mSATA is worst part - who knows which non-HP model would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
