Looking to build a storage PC.
Guys, there is a bigger issue here - when you have absolutely basic knowledge about PC hardware and you are not sure if physical sizes on the drives dictate capacity or how many drives you can connect to a motherboard, there is a bigger fish to fry. As i said earlier, OP needs to read a bit. Not to learn everything like he is gonna earn a phd in computer science, but enough to understand the basics like different types of RAID and which one he needs as well as raid cards, because chances are the SATA ports on the motherboard, especially if it's cheap board, won't be enough to support all the desired drives. I am not trying to discourage the guy, i 'm just trying to help him understand what he is getting into. None of us was born with that knowledge installed in our heads, we all had to learn. It's not something to be ashamed of. It's exactly what forums like this one are for - help people learn new stuff they are passionate about. We are more than happy to help, but certain basics are a must. You can't change the brakes on your car if you don't know already how to remove the wheels, right? It's basically the same thing.
