It needs just a standard laptop hard drive which are commonly referred to as '2.5 inch drives'. They come in all different brands and models, but anything which has a SATA connector (99% of them sold today are) should be compatible. If you have a spare slot for an extra drive then I would suggest something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136692&cm_re=500gb_2.5_internal-_-22-136-692-_-Product

The main issue will be that you may not have space for two hard drives to fit into the system. If this is the case and all you want is more storage space you have two options: buy an external hard drive, or buy a larger hard drive than the one which came with it (500gb) and replace it. Something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136545&cm_re=1tb_2.5-_-22-136-545-_-Product

As for where you can buy it from, that depends on where you are. Are you in the US? If so the link above (newegg) is a pretty good place to purchase from.
