Any new hard drive should work just fine. Look at pcpartpicker.com for a good resource to piece together compatible parts. Its an excellent site that allows you to choose your parts one by one, only showing other compatible parts.

You will need a SATA cable to connect the motherboard to the drive. Most motherboards come with cables. Whether or not that motherboard comes with cables should be listed. The only other cable you need is power but that is attached to your power supply, so you should have one already, unless your power supply is from the 90s

This external hard drive contains a SATA-2 5400 rpm hard drive with a 8mb buffer.I would tell you the model number but it gets deleted when I post it.I would tell you how I know for sure but that gets deleted also.So in other words you just need to use your noodle and seek out the info you need; there are ways but this will probably get deleted to so what's the point in all of this?PS I Bought this thing and I have hands on experience with it!

Yes, any SATA drive will work. If you want a detailed list of the tested drives go to the MSI website and look for the MoBo model. You can check at tested compatible CPUs, Memory, HDD, etc

If you have a PCI-E x16 slot on your mobo, you should be okay. However, I don't think this will fix a hard drive error. Can you describe your problem in a little more detail?

If you're talking about the seller that says 1GB, it is most likely 1GB. When these first came out, they had only 1GB to start with, and you are able to upgrade to a maximum of 2GB (That's what the motherboard supports; Any more than 2GB and it won't be used - With that said, I wouldn't trust the sellers with 4GB ones.) Even if you did buy a 1GB one, upgrading that to 2GB is VERY cheap nowadays, so you don't have to worry.

I have 3TB and 4TB drives in there. They are just straight pass throughs for the most part, depends more on the BIOS of your motherboard.

A Sata Hard drive are very easy to come by in many sizes. Just seach amazon for a SATA hard drive and pick your size. Be sure to check what type of sata drive you need. I think this unit needs a SATA 2 or 3. I purchased a 400GB hard drive and it works great.Something like this ... WD Black 320 GB Mobile Hard Drive, 2.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA II, 16 MB Cache (WD3200BEKT) (Old Model)

The 9850 Phenom x4 are a little slow now. It is an AM2+ socket, 2.5 GHz which can be OC to 2.7 GHz but locks up at 3 GHz. There are approx 463 Motherboards that are compatible with this chipset. Here is the link below that you can check out for mobos. Yes, it does support a 3tb hard drive.http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/AMD/Phenom_X4/9850_%2895W%29_motherboards.html

You have picked a very nice motherboard. I will post the ram I have in mine, it cost, but it really depends on how much you want to spend. Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 2133 MHz (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory (CMD32GX3M4A2133C9). You can get cheaper ram, but make sure it is DDR3 ram for this board. I think Corsair is the best, but Kingston is good also. Yes, you can put both an SSD and HDD on that board. You should load your OS on the SSD drive since it is much faster than the HDD. I would recommend the Samsung 500GB SSD drive 840 Series, and the Velociraptor 1TB HDD. I have built lot's of computers, and these motherboards are really the top. If I can help you with any other questions you have just let me know.

The Asus web site provides no answer to either hard drive format compatibility or networking compatibility with ANY type of computer. That's what's holding me back. A couple of 1 TB drives formatted HFS+ and networked iMac and Macbook Pro laptop, and I refuse to take the plunge unless there's documentation somewhere. If you find it, please post!

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards.Hope this helps

Any SATA 6GB/S is compatible with it, this Motherboard contains 6 6gb/s connectors.

David, go to Tiger Direct and look up the motherboard in question. That info as you scroll down will tell you clearly what other computer parts will work with it. I selected $2,800 worth of parts to go with that exact motherboard three years ago. Turns out I had everything I needed for someone else to put that computer together. Go slow and read the specificationsfor that motherboard. Danny Standridge

Not being a real computer geek, I can't give a 100% positive answer, but I think most hard drives are compatible with just about anything. Of all the hard drives I've installed or have had fail and replaced, I've never had a compatibility problem with anything.

It's desktop memory. Check your motherboard's compatibility list to make sure that it'll work in your machine. Typically, the list will be in the manual that came with the motherboard, or barring that, you should be able to download it as a PDF from the manufacturer's website.
