Hi everyone. I have an HP G61 notebook that I bought in Portugal. It has 4GB of DDR2 memory. To improve performance, can I replace the hard drive with an SSD? Which one should I use? I'd really appreciate your guidance. Thank you very much!

Hi:

 

You should be able to.

 

I'd go with this one:

 

This is the 500 GB model for example.  You can go up to 2 TB or smaller than 500 GB if you want.

 

Amazon.com: Western Digital 500GB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/...
