Hi Jerin,
Should be no problem for a modern board but best to check with the manufacturer ....
GIGABYTE - Product - Motherboard - Overview - GA-8I865GM-775
Should be mentioned there ;)
It should be fine.
EDIT :
Swish to the Barman ;)
Thank you for your information it is mentioned that the Motherboard has 2 sata connectors but how to check weather it will support 500GB Hard Drive.
Is there a way for it.
Hello Jerin,
That motherboard will support any size SATA hard drive currently made. :)
Thx Shawn - If you say so I can Believe it .
Thanks again.
So are you sure a 1TB HDD will also work in this motherboard: GA:8I865GM:775?Quote:

It should, but if for some reason it does not, then a newer BIOS update for that motherboard may allow it to. If still not, then you can also always split the drive into two partitions as well for it work. :)
You're welcome Jerin. :)Quote:
