Welcome to our HP User Forum!
It should be plug & play, as I assume your motherboard will likely support this SATA extension card.
However, if I may, I would rather recommend the PCIe slot SATA extension option, such as this example:
Reason being that introducing a separate power supply connected directly into your desktop's motherboard, well, doesn't seem like the best idea ever. -Just a User's perspective, do with it however you please.
Hope this was helpful.
Kind Regards,
