It will, but you have to deal with 3rd party drivers which is a bit of a hassle. You are much better off going with a SATA drive and not an IDE drive.

Samsung drives (hard drives and optical drives) don't have the best reputation for reliability and performance. Short life spans and high DOA rates. Best not to use this brand if you want a stable reliable computer you can count on.
Samsung does make great LCD monitors though. Cricket
