They will all work with it.

My friend is looking for new motherboard that will be paired with i5 6500 CPU.

One of the requirements is that hhe will be using 6TB WD Red hard disk drive. Do all motherboard support that capacity?

Okay great :)

I don't know from where I remember that there weere some limitations for max hard disk size. It was with my older motherboard I think, but that was like 5 years ago, so wasn't sure if that's still the case.

 

Thanks for fast answer mate!
