Motherboard Question - Can I run SATA HDs?
Hey Guys,
Currently I have an older desktop running IDE HDs. I checked Frys.com, newegg, few other places and it seems the largest PATA (IDE) HD I can purchase today is only about 320 GB.
So I decided to think about it differently, and see if my Motherboard could accept SATA HDs....but got a bit confused. Here are the specs for my old MSI Mobo:
MSI P7N SLI NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI Socket 775 ATX MSI MS-7380 P7N SLI
It lists "4 Sata Ports," but I wasn't sure if that was for HD's or something else. If someone could let me know, if I can connect up a new 1TB Sata HD to my old computer, that would be greatly appreciated.
If you need any additional information, please let me know! Thanks in advance!
