SSD for Gigabyte GA-H81M-S LGA 1150 Ultra Durable Motherboard

[vindance1]

Hi Friends,

Please help me out with 1 more thing. I am using following motherboard "GA-H81M-S (rev. 1.0) | Motherboard - GIGABYTE Global"

Storage Interface
Chipset:

1. 2 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors (SATA3 0~SATA3 1)
2. 2 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors (SATA2 2~SATA2 3)

Currently I have connected 1 SSD and 1 HDD (WD Green 1 TB) in it.

I need 1 more HDD (4 TB) to add in this. Will the MB support it? If yes which one should I buy?

Thank you.

after using many brands, i am of the opinion that at present no hdd is most durable. if you are lucky, it may last for 5-6 years or more.

HDDs are fine for SATA 2 ports, only good SSDs can utilize SATA 3 bandwidth to the fullest.
