Hi:

 

I installed an Intel 535 120 GB SSD  SATA III (6.0 GB/s) in a HP 6910p with the same chipset as yours and it worked fine.

 

So a SSD should work.  Whether or not only certain brands work, that I do not know.

 

Did you install an operating system on it? 

 

That is usually the error notice you get when the operating system is missing.
