Question

[Wick3d]

Is this hard drive (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822148033) compatable with this motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813152049)?

I was pretty sure that they are, but the HD is Serial ATA150 and I wasn't sure if that would work with the mobo.

If you look under the MOBO's specs youll see:

Storage Devices
PATA 2 x ATA 133 up to 4 Devices
PATA RAID NV RAID 0/1/0+1 JBOD
SATA 4 x SATA2
SATA RAID NV RAID 0/1/0+1 JBOD

SATA refers to serial ata, which that hd is.

So yup, your good to go :)

yeah but the HD was SATA150 or whatever =P

thanks a million

[Neo]

SATA150 just refers to the speed (as opposed to ATA133) it just means that while ATA133 goes at 133mb/sec SATA has a transfer rate of 150mb/sec.

Err... hope that made sense.

EDIT: As a side note, thats a damned nice motherboard.

Yeah, but no IDE hard drive can saturate either of those busses.
