Looks like this board:

So, it Has SATA ports. That means ANY modern hard drive will be compatible with it. (3Gb/s or 6Gb/s does not matter)

I'd get the Western Digital 500Gb Blue outta this lot.... (I'm not a fan of Seagate drive for a couple pound less....)

ALL DISK DRIVES are usually compatible with every mobo. Get whatever is cheapest; I picked up a LG DVDRW drive for $20.
