Can you direct me to someone who can help me order a new hard drive for an HP Pavilion Notebook Model:17-g121wm

Serial: [personal info removed]. My laptop was corrupted some time ago. I had someone work on it that made it worse. I would just like to order a new drive. The tag on the drive says Replace with HP Spare 778192-005

You can order any brand or model 2.5" drive you want.

 

Instead of replacing the 2.5" 5,400 RPM 1 TB mechanical hard drive, you will get better performance from a 2.5" solid state drive (SSD).

 

This would be a suggested 1 TB replacement:

 

Amazon.com: Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s,...

 

If you don't need 1 TB of storage, you can get a 500 GB model:

 

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

 

If you want to order the same type of drive, this one would be a good choice:

 

Amazon.com: Western Digital 1TB WD Blue Mobile Hard Drive HDD - 5400 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 128 MB Cache,...
