A:Answer Most likely, when I checked for your computer online the specs show HDD (Hard Disc Drive) for the hard drive, which would indicate that it is not a SSD (Solid State Drive) the best thing to do is remove the hard drive and take it with you to the Best Buy and have them confirm it is compatible before you purchase it, Since the standard hard drive connector is SATA your drive and this drive are the same format and will interchange, as will many larger 1TB etc. A solid state drive is less storage, but is considerably faster and for all intents and purposes permanent. Solid state drives have no moving parts, they are exactly like SD cards, but much larger.
