[Mantas]

Aye did now know what would be a proper title for this tread so there it goes . I have a question what will happen if i put something like this ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236625 ) into old motherboard like this (http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2N68AM_PLUS/ ) will HDD work ?  Or maybe should i change my Motherboard and rams first before changing my HDD ? 

 

P.S My HDD is almost dead.

What? not sure I follow

 

Can you use that hard drive? yes its sata. all sata hard drives will work with all motherboards that have sata connections

 

Ram has no effect on your hard drive

[alpenwasser]

Since SATA is backwards compatible and the M/B has SATA ports

according to its spec sheet it should work.

Note that some older SATA controllers might have issues with

drives > 2 TB, just as a side note.

EDIT:

Even the original SATA has 150 MB/s bandwidth, which even

modern HDDs rarely push up against, in practice the difference

will be negligible.

Well, it surely would work, but if you have a mobo this old I would rather spend money on building yourself a new rig. I mean...DDR2?

That is the only thing I would be concerned about OP, perhaps get a smaller drive just in case
