Hi,

 

Firstly the following article may help:

 

    http://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c04100684

 

and secondly you need a normal HDD for desktop. You current HDD is 1.5TB 7200RPM, you can get a similar 1.5TB RPM or even 2TB 7200RPM more cache is better (more expensive). Please check

You can also use 2.5" HDD but you need to buy brackets

 

Regards.
