No that's the manufactures fully tested one, that's why it's so expensive.

Mind you any other compatible one will do!

Someone else may be able to comment on the best priced HardDrive for your system.
By the way what is your system exactly?

From what ive read is that any Ata-100 or ata-6 will work for my gfs laptop as long as its the same form factor of 2.5 .

I really want to get a new computer

Likely yes, but I would really confirm by going to this thread: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic100655.html
And clicking on the orange "Interact Online with HP" button
This is a free service
I've used it without even having a HP!

Anyway after you load all the activeX; and I accepts; you'll be able to chat with HP and say "What HardDrive Can I put in this thing?" (or similar )
