Your machine supports 6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard drives in 9.5 mm (.37 in) and 7.0 mm (.28 in) thicknesses (all hard drives use the same bracket) therefore all standard 2.5" SSD with 7mm thichness will fit.
The http://www.samsung.com/au/memory-storage/850-evo-sata-3-2-5-inch-ssd/MZ-75E250BW/ series is a hot cake today interms of price / performance.
My suggestion:
(a) Buy a 2.5 " HDD external enclosure for under $20,
(b) Put the SSD in,
(c) Connect to you laptop and clone existing HDD to SSD,
(d) Swap them
Now you have SSD on your machine and an external HDD
