I'm having a hard time with the compatibility. So is this compatible with this? If not can someone find me another hard drive, on newegg that's compatible with my motherboard.


edit:reading the reviews I dont think I like this one much a please suggest another.

Yes... it is compatible. However, it will only run at SATA 2.0 speeds(3gb/s). Your motherboard is capable of using SATA 3.0 interface(6gb/s). I don't know of a DATA 3.o harddrive. But then, I don't know everything.
