Hard drive/ motherboard

Is this hard drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822116032

Compatible with this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813121059
Thanks

No

No - for SCSI drives you need a SCSI controller, few motherboards have them as standard, and there are several different "flavours" of SCSI which are not interchangeable.

Thanks thats what I thought
Can anyone tell me if SAS needs an adapter card, or if it can just plug into a serial port on your mobo?

SAS drives still need a suitable host adapter.

For those who are interested a host adapter for SAS drives should also handle SATA drives. Comparison here - P40.

One other thing to watch out for - ordinary PCI cards are simply not fast enough for SAS (or even SATA II), so you will only find PCI-X and PCI-E (usually x4) cards. PCI-X is not supported on the mobo you indicated, but a PCI-E x4 card would fit into any of the physically larger x16 slots, one of which is x4 electrically anyway.

sorry to seem so noobish but could you point me in the direction of one that is not to expensive and would suffice my needs?

That's about the lowest priced I've seen which I know is compatible.

This one is priced cheaper (only SATA I) but I don't know whether that comes with cables (I've seen them sold separately so I suspect not) or Windows drivers. It also needs a PCI-E x8 slot.

em maybe I should just skip the 15,000 rpm and get another 7,200
