If you have a spare USB port I would suggest an external hard drive, if you really wanna go down the route of internal, you need to determine whether your laptop takes SATA or IDE before you spend a penny

External is such an easier way to get memory.

Yeah. The big glowing problem is that you need to open your laptop up in order to detemine what type works with your laptop. And then, you'll have to hope that there's enough room for a second drive, or even if it's able to fit inside the case (I am pretty confident that the hard drive you've selected would be too big for the space in your hard drive). It will probably be far less hassle just getting an external hard drive (or a hard drive enclosure e.g. this one [http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/components/harddrives-external/harddriveenclosures/EXT3-SU-HL.html] and that internal hard drive).
