HP EliteBook Folio 9470m Ultrabook: RAM and mSATA?

Question

Solid State Drives

Hello. Due to the fact that HP, apparently, does not particularly want to know the owners of laptops with an expired warranty and does not give answers through technical support (only on the forum or through a virtual assistant pretending to be a felt boot), I ask you to help on the following questions.

1. The ultrabook has an Intel Core i5-3427U processor, an Intel Ivy Bridge-MB IMC northbridge, two RAM sticks (Transcend TS256MSK64V3N and Kingston ASU1333D3S9DR8/2G), each with 2 GB and 1.5V. Judging by the video and photo parsing of the ultrabook, "1.5V" is stamped on the RAM connectors, while in one video parsing on the ultrabook there was a memory of 1.5V, and in another video parsing, of 1.35V. The English-language manual about RAM says:
"Two customer-accessible/upgradable memory module slots DDR3 PC3-1600-MHz dual channel support.
Supports 16384-MB of system RAM in the following configurations:
● 16384-MB (8192-MB×2)
● 8192-MB (8192- MB×1 or 4096×2)
● 6144-MB (4096-MB+2048-MB)
● 4096-MB (4096-MB×1 or 2048-MB×2)
● 2048-MB (2048×1)"
What is the essence of the question: there is RAM at an interesting price, but it is 1.35V. Can it be installed in this ultrabook? In my somewhat layman's opinion, putting 1.35-volt components into a 1.5-volt port is somewhat controversial. The specification on the website of the manufacturer of these strips only indicates a voltage of 1.35V. I studied similar topics on this issue, but so far I have not come to a final conclusion. HP forum response (translated): "The memory that came with it was 1.5V and this type is listed as compatible in the Manual: Service Manual. However, all DDR3L-1600 1.35 will also work with 1.5, so you see vendors like Crucial offering low voltage modules. They will work but I wouldn't mix a 1.5" and a 1.35" module
(Kingston only offers 1.5V memory for this ultrabook, for example).

2. Installed HGST HTS725050A7E630 (500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA-III) and KINGSTON RBUSMS180DS364G (59 GB, IDE) (mSata SSD). I plan to replace the mSata SSD with a more capacious one, install an operating system on it, while leaving the HDD for file storage (as opposed to replacing the HDD with an SSD). Is it possible to determine (for example, by the settings in the BIOS) whether the system will boot normally from the mSata SSD or will it require shamanism in the form of editing the bootloader on the HDD? HP forum response (translation): "Yes, this model is configured to use the mSATA boot drive slot. Make sure you understand that the performance of a 2.5" SATA SSD in the HDD bay will actually be better than when using an mSATA module from an mSATA slot, but not by much."

PS For example, the same Asus did not disdain recently to give a detailed answer to my question about an ancient motherboard on the 775th socket. HP seems to be more "customer focused".

Answer 1

Due to the fact that HP, apparently, does not particularly want to know the owners of laptops with an expired warranty and does not give answers through technical support (only on the forum or through a virtual assistant pretending to be a felt boot)

yes, and with a valid guarantee, it usually sends a forest

Can it be installed in this ultrabook?

it's possible, ddr3l is backwards compatible with ddr3 slot
, but you can't usually put ddr3 in new ones because it's usually 1.35
and no one forbids mixing it. They will work fine

Is it possible to determine (for example, by the settings in the BIOS) whether the system will boot normally from the mSata SSD or will it require shamanism in the form of editing the bootloader on the HDD?

should load normally and shamanism is not required
, only the question arises why ide and not sata III
