[Davisteve1]

My 1T Deskstar seem to be failing. can I use HGST Deskstar NAS H3IKNAS40003272SN (0S03664) 4TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" High-Performance Hard Drive for Desktop NAS Systems Retail Kit with a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P MB with an Intel® (LGA775) Core™2 Duo Processor E8400
(6M Cache, 3.00 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB with 8 GB DDR2 1366. This is SATA II and USB 2.0 hardware so wonder if I could get this and run my rig for a while before upgrading the MB and then use in a newer system in a few years. I want reliability and this is a 1 million hr MTF.

Yes the drive will work. It will connect to SATA II just fine.
