@Jasonvr 

The HP specs for your model laptop say it came with a 500GB SATA laptop drive -- but if this was mine, I would spend the extra money and get a 500GB SATA SSD.  The laptop will boot much faster and run faster, as well.

 

Any of the standard brands will do -- Kingston, Crucial, SanDisk, Samsung.

I have this model SSD in several of my HP and Dell desktop and notebook PC's.
