Are you sure your machine has 8GB for hard drive ? What is it ?  I believe you are looking for more RAM (also called memory). Please use the following way to find out the model/product of your machine

Please do NOT post its Serial number (s/n).

LoL! Noob it's not harddisk it's RAM and if u need speed change your harddisk to ssd it'll be awesome ram helps to run more applications at a time by loading into its memory but speed differs mostly by harddisk and cpu so change harddisk from hdd to ssd even if it's the same change pc but dnt waste money on ram I think 8 gb is more than enough until you run Virtual machines in your pc. DON'T get fooled by people to upgrade ram for speed ram .Get ssd and your speed depends on write speed and read speed of harddisk not ram I'll guarantee you take ssd and Enjoy!
