Hard Drive Compatability Question

[-TSF-Gen. Romano]

I just bought the Western Digital 250GB Internal Hard Drive for when I build my computer in the summer.

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10035171&catid=10484

I noticed that it is EIDE format so does that mean I can't hook it up to the motherboard im most likely going to get (Asus A8N-SLI Premium) or does it support it

Help is greatly appretiated!

Thanks

Re: Hard Drive Compatability Question

EIDE is the same thing as IDE. It will work just fine.

Thanks so much!

I was worried!!!

oh and it was unclear... this drive does work with the asus mobo?

Re: Hard Drive Compatability Question

As long as the mobo has IDE ports.
Why are you buying IDE instead of SATA when it looks like you are going for a pretty good gaming rig?

Re: Hard Drive Compatability Question

every mobo has IDE ports, every mobo will support this HD .

however , it is possible, depending on the age of your bios, that your mobo only sees 138Gb instead of 250Gb .
