I used to have one of this model series as my HP "Expert loaner", used it for a year, conducted all kinds of experiments on drive configurations then donated it to charity so I have likely learned as much as there is to know about what you are trying to do. First thing is do you have a caddy and cable for both drive bays?
There is a link there with instructions.
Yes it will run a 2.5 inch SATA SSD. Brand is not that important but if you are looking for a recommendation this model series has generated virtually zero problem reports here and is the one I use if I need a 2.5 inch SSD:
In the secondary bay, you can use again any 2.5 inch wide SATA hard drive and you are smart to pick a 7200 rpm model.
You can safely buy on price. Here is a sale on a very good mechanical drive, about as fast as they come:
Post back if you need to discuss hardware setup or software installation. You are definitely on the right track with your plans and an SSD/HDD combination will keep that machine "relevant" as long as possible.
