Question about WD blue mobile

Hello, is this HDD compatible with my HP ProBook 470 G3 (an SSD 256 gb is already present on the M2 interface). And what about the mounting? Is there mounting material/slide included or what can I order separately for a suitable screw mounting? Thanks for your answer!

Also hello
According to the service manual, a 2.5" cover is required for mounting an HDD/SSD. If a second HDD is not already installed ex works, this mounting and the screws will be missing.
There are the following options: 1.) order this mount on the bay or via Swissparts (according to HP Partsurfer: 827027-001 around 20 Swiss francs); 2.) "glue" the disc in place with double-sided (removable) adhesive tape - with an SSD it needs at most 1x1cm; 3.) "clamp" the HDD in place with cut-to-size cork plates.
To the second question: any commercially available SATA 2.5" SSD with a maximum height of 9.5mm will fit in it.
Have a look at your tube, there are countless videos there.
There is also the possibility of replacing the existing M.2 SDD with a larger SSD via "cloning".
Let us know how it was solved.

Sorry, follow-up question: ..or which SSD is compatible on the still free 2.5 inch interface and how is it attached?

Greetings and thanks!
