Yes! To hook it up to your PC, you need a source of power and a Serial ATA cable. You should have a source of power already if you look at the cable that is connected to your hard drive from your power supply. The Serial ATA cable connects from the SSD to an available port on your motherboard

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes this is "compatible" it's a standard 2.5 SSD. If you are asking this question then that probably doesn't mean anything to you though. So to use this storage you're going to need to check if you have any extra bay drives inside of your computer and check for a sata power cable and a sata 3 connector (Google these for what they look like) then you will need to plug them into the drive and format it (Google "how to format new drive"). If your computer doesn't have any capabilities for a new drive you will have to get an external case for this drive so it can plug into a USB port. Then if you want to get rid of your old drive you need to clone the old one to the new one and install the drive inside the computer (after taking it out of the external case). If all of this doesn't sound like something you are comfortable with please take it to someone, I'm sure there are multiple people who you know that will be more than happy to help.
