Hi everyone, i'm really newb to this computer stuff so i just want to ask some questions. i bought this laptop like 3 years ago but now i need more storage for items like movies, music, photos...etc. So i was wondering if there is any ways that i can replace or upgrade the Hard drive myself or i guess its called HDD to 2-3 TB storage. if possible please recommend the HDD and 8+ GB RAM that are compatiable with this slow laptop. All i know is that i got to back up my files on the old hard drive and somehow transfer to the new one once it detected in my laptop.

here is the link the information of my laptop:

any help are appriciated.

have a nice day!

P.S External HD doesn't help, already bought a Seagate 500GB for $119 and it failed on the 2nd time i use it.

I dont beleive that laptop supports 15mm drives but I'm not positive.
If it doesnt then drives larger then 1tb are not going to fit as they are 15mm thick.

aside from an ssd, this is probably the fastest drive available. notice its 750gb.

This 1tb is also 7200 rpm but lacks the hybrid ssd portion
