All that is technically necessary is a chipset that supports native SATA (AHCI) which the chipset on your laptop does. It is I believe the earliest SATA version, SATA-I 150 mbps. Current SATA is 600 mbps. So your top transfer speed for sustained read and write operations will be limited but you will see a significant performance increase from the reduced latency of an SSD over a mechanical disk. That is a tremendous price on a 1 TB SSD, but the SSD is likely worth at least as much as the laptop. So it will "work", but be sure to put the SSD in the main drive bay and load Windows onto it. Windows 7 and higher natively supports TRIM and NCQ for an SSD so no BIOS tweaks or anything else is needed just put it in the slot and treat it like a hard drive. 

 

Post back with any further questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Thanks for help!! one more question.

Can i use in both places this ssd disc? i mean two of theme discs at the same time.  (just because i am a little maniac)

HP Recommended

You can but on this model the second hard drive bay is not fully functional. Not bootable and runs slower so really a hard drive in that bay will be perfectly adequate and cheaper.

THANKS AGAIN.

AND... ANOTHER ONE QUESTION.
