I want to insert 2 cautionary notes:

1) make sure you have physical space inside your case for mounting the drive.

2) check your HD cable to see if you have a "cable-select" cable, or a regular cable. Usually, cable-select cables have each connector labled for where it's to be plugged in, and will also have a very high density of wires (if it's ribbon).

I've installed hundreds (literally) over the years. It's a piece of cake.

One last thing to look for is power. Make sure you have a free power connector as well. If not, you can get a Y splitter for about 2-3 bucks when you get the drive.
