Yes, of course that will work. It is a bare drive though so you'd need to buy a sata cable, I'm going to assume your psu has an extra hdd plug from the ribbon but I'm not sure.

Also you said Alienware, is it a laptop? If so then no, that won't fit.

It is not a laptop I am not that dumb =/ I believe i have the cable to hook it up, where my hard drive is now there are three other slots and they each have two cords for a hard drive.

okay, well to be safe, I suggest you pick up a sata cable. I can make a video showing how to replace your hdd if you want.
