And I am getting a 3TB drive at a very cheap price. But I want to confirm before that will this drive work on my board or not. I had checked the specification but there is nothing listed. It only gives
detail about different connectors on the board.
Most of the new board supports around 2TB of drive. You have to change the partition type to get extra 1TB on it. There are are few applications available that can help you to get the entire 3tB space. But not as one. In different partition. You can use 3TBUnlock utility.
