Yes, this is compatible with that brand of desktop PC.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, if you have a serial ATA interface.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes should be compatible if you have space on your motherboard for the Sata Plug. If the power supply doesn't have enough connectors inside you can purchase a splitter. The Sata adapter is included with the drives if you need it. Open up the case and make sure you have space for it, then you are all set. Otherwise if you clone the drive and use it as the master you should be fine also. You will need to partition the drive with software in order to utilize all the space if the replaced drive is smaller. Plenty of free programs out there to be able to help you out with that.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If said PC is less than 7-10 years old, you should be able to use this drive with no problem, unless you have unusual requirements, such as setting up a RAID array.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, that's exactly what I had and it worked fine for me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As long as you've got an extra serial ATA open and power supply connection with left over juice. Slimline towers aren't known for being spacious so it might be a tight squeeze.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it is. It can be used to upgrade the original hard drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. The HP Pavilion s5212y Slimline Desktop PC does not have additional 3.5" hard drive bays for expansion. You would need to use external USB hard drives. This PC does not use EIDE connectors, instead it uses Serial-ATA (SATA) hard drive and optical drive connectors. It will also work if replacing the original drive in the computer's single hard drive bay.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it should be compatible. It is the same type of hard drive that your PC came with: SATA or Serial ATA. The connections will work with this hard drive. If you are making this one the master, and not a slave drive, the True Image software that you can download makes it easy to transfer everything to the new one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it should work just fine. If you are replacing your existing hard drive you may want to look at Acronis True Image (or other hard drive ghosting software) to make an exact copy of the existing (smaller) hard drive. This will insure that you don't lose your (hidden) recovery partition on your existing drive.
