Can I put Apple spec ATA HDD in PC?

I have acquired an IBM hard drive model DTTA-350640 (6GB ATA) which was
built in 1998.

It was 'designed and manufactured to Apple specifications'.
The IBM HDD site says its a Deskstar 16GP.

The power and ribbon cable connections are physically the same as PC
compatible ATA hard drives.

Can it be safely used in a PC?

about the reverse using ata hd in apple g3 power mac ??
