Yes. The Manual explains as so:

 

The mounting brackets and the hard drive/solid-state drive cable are not included in the drive spare part kit. The hard drive/solid-state drive cable is available using spare part number 856011-001. The hard drive mounting bracket is available using spare part number 856012-001. The solid-state drive mounting bracket is available using spare part number 856013-001.

 

Service Manual 

 

The exact model you give us is not coming up but if you already have a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive you can replace it with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD and use the same mounting hardware. Alternately, an M.2 "gumstick" slot is present but you cannot use it and the 2.5 inch bay together. Use of one precludes the other if that makes any sense. 

 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

 for the Sata SSD 2.5 do you know if there is any limitation in storage size. Could a 500 gb work?

HP Recommended

No limit. 2 TBs are commonly available and would work. 500 gb would be no problem. Please accept as solution if this is the info you were looking to find.
