As long as your motherboard has an open SATA port, should be no problem.   You'd mount it, connect a Sata power connector from the psu wiring harness, connect a Sata data cable to the ssd and the other end to the motherboard. You might have an extra sata cable in your accessory box.

You'll probably have to go into disk management and initialze and format it.    That's it.

If you have the Samsung EVO and get either the EVO or PRO you should have a disc and/or get one with the new drive that has a program called "Samsung Magician". This program will set up your computer (drivers, etc), the drives (format, partition, raid) and get ya going fairly easily.

would a Samsung 850 pro 250GB work?
the mother board is a ASUS SABER TOOTH Z77.I have a120GB Corsair that is all most full which has the OS on it+a 1 TB western Digital.
Thanks very much for the information.

Excellent drive.   That'll work just fine.
