My file server uses an old Socket 754 motherboard: ECS nForce3-A
I'd like to buy a 1.5TB or 2TB hard drive, but how can I tell if it's compatible? I had previously bought two 1TB hard drives:
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB - NOT COMPATIBLE
and
HITACHI 0A38016 1TB - compatible
With the Seagate drive installed, the motherboard would not POST. With the Hitachi drive installed, there were no issues.
I'd like to buy this hard drive:
HITACHI Deskstar HD32000 IDK/7K 2TB
But how can I tell if it will be compatible?
Thanks!
2TB compatible with ECS nForce3-A Socket 754 motherboard?

The jumper might not solve your problem, but you can read more on it in Seagate's datasheet for the 7200.12 (PDF) drives - see page 22.
