its a 2.5" 9.5mm and looks to be the same one as this but about $30 cheaper

i was wondering if they would work in my computer and if i have to buy another copy of OSX since its a blank HD. I know i have to make it the same format through disc utility, but i was wondering if i could just use the stock osx disc to install it. would i need a serial number or something?
thanks!
