Will this motherboard support this HDD

[IHatePC]

Hello guys, I want to ask you if this hard disk will support this motherboard.

Motherboard: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/A68HM-E33-V2.html#hero-specification

Hard Disk: Seagate Barracuda 64MB 1TB

Yes, rarely will a SATA hard drive be incompatible with a motherboard.

Hey there

 

As @evilarceus explained, pretty much all SATA drives should work fine on SATA ports on motherboards, especially if they are new. There may be some compatibility issues if a motherboard doesn't support UEFI/GPT and the drive is larger than 2TB or if the drive is using Advanced Format and the OS is older but n your case you shouldn't encounter such problems.

All SATAI, SATAII and SATAIII drives should be backward and forward compatible with all SATAI, SATAII and SATAIII ports.

 

Post back if you have any questions!
