Yes, it will work with ANY SATA interface.

Skyy · Answer

It will. I don't remember the exact specs, but the difference is with the read speed (if i'm not mistaken). I know i just purchased this and used it in my 9-year-old desktop (running SATAII connections)

Yes, but it will not be as fast if you use it with the SATA 3 interface. It would still be a lot faster than the hdd, though. If you have extra cash, just add an add-on SATA 3 interface controller card if you have an empty pci-e slot and make sure it's at least a pci-e 2.0. You can see those on the motherboard of your pc or your dell documentation. You can check Amazon for the controller card for SATA3 so that you can take full advantage of the ssd's speed. Remember, make sure you check your motherboard and see if you have an empty pci-e slot and make sure it is at LEAST pci-e 2.0. 
Hope this helps.
