Assuming this is a SATA drive, no problem.

If it is an SAS drive, problem.

drive is SATA 3 but is only a 5400RPM so kinda slow, but i see no reason why it wouldnt work in your computer.

Yes, that says SATA.
I prefer to rely on the manufacturer rather than an ebay pic.

What warranty do you get from that ebay guy?

Looks like a factory warranty of 2 years, according to Newegg.

Looks like a vanilla OEM HDD. Nothing special about the HDD, beyond its capacity.
