I want to upgrade my storage using a 4 terrabyte hard disk drive, but i don't know how. I heard a few times something about a mount for the hard drive or something like that but i don't know if i need one. I also heard about using an adapter to connect my hdd using a sata connector. Honestly im just confused about what I need to buy and what is compatible. For the HDD i found on amazon "Seagate BarraCuda Mobile Hard Drive 4TB SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 14mm (ST4000LM024)" and i wanted to know if this one specifically was compatible with my device. I have attached a picture of what i assume to be the connector, but not quite sure. If you need any more information let me know. Thank you to anyone who responds.

Firstly notebook 4TB HDD's are too thick, won't physically fit. Normally you  can use 2TB (thinner) or use 2.5" SATA SSD's for example

Now, back to your main question. What is your  HP 14 inch Laptop PC 14-f1000 (2L1B0AV) machine ? It could be one of the following machines

For example               HP Laptop 14-fq1021nr.

 

Please use System Info to work out its System SKU then post back. For example
