Compatible yes, as long as the computer you're installing it into has a SATA controller. If you are installing it into a desktop PC that is designed for 3.5" drives you will need a mounting bracket because all SSD drives are made with a 2.5" form factor which is typical of laptops. It will work fine as long as you have a bracket to mount it, or if the desktop already has a 2.5" bay. Unfortunately, Best Buy does not sell the 2.5" to 3.5" brackets at this time (big oversite on someone's part). Check online and you can find them for around $5 - $6.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, as long as your desktop has an available SATA port, it should work. Might need to update your BIOS and/or change the BIOS Storage controller mode between AHCI/SATA/RAID operation to get it to show up.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, SSDs use a sata connector which can be found on all modern desktop motherboards. Typically you'll want to find a drive mount though since most cases don't have only 3.5" drive bays.
