can I install this in a desktop? null

Yes (I use a 2.5" SSD in my desktop as well). It's a standard SATA connector and power connection. However, you'll need to use an adapter kit (probably) to mount the 2.5" disk in a 3.5" HDD bay in your desktop. Some desktops do come with a bay for a 2.5" drive, though, so you'll need to check if you need the adapter or not.

Rough answer is yes. Most custom desktop cases come with a 2.5 inch drive bay. If yours is a pre-built pc like hp/dell/asus/etc., they usually don't but I used double sided tape and stuck it in a safe area of the case. This drive is sealed so no worries of causing a short circuit unless you put it too close to a circuit board like the motherboard or graphics card.
