yes,.. it should work, Its an SATA300 HD tough, and the motherboard is SATA, so the harddisk could run faster.. nevertheless it should run great

the hdd you have bought is sata 2 and your mobo supports sata 1 they are backward compatable but if you have problems seeing the hdd in bios you will have to move the jumper on the back of the hdd to sata 1

Thanks for the replies.
Awesome I'm glad I don't have to exchange it. I am however going to get a little more noob on you.  I'm still having trouble figuring out how to plug it into my comp. I have a power terminal cord (terminology?) set aside for it but this HD does not have the same ribbon plug in slot as my current drive. Last edited by RedStal95; 10-18-2006 at 06:54 PM. |
