Hi,

Your machine is an  HP 15-af148ca :

Would you like to use the same as the original HDD, which is a 1TB 5400RPM hard drive  ? 

You can use any standard 2.5" HDD for laptops on the market today. Please buy a faster HDD which has 7200RPM and big cache such as

or much smaller cache:

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Can I find that on Amazon.com?

Can I replace the hard drive with an SSD?

How do I re-install Windows after that?
