My motherboard is DG41WV. How much HDD storage can i install in this. now I have 500 GB hard disk. can I install another! TB HDD on it? I mean total !.G TB is supported?
 
Solution
Hey Monish. HDD size is indeed restricted by some of the operating systems, but in this case the motherboard itself doesn't support larger HDDs than 2TB. So you should be OK with a hard drive which is 2TB or less, as long as the OS supports that capacity as well.

Hope that helps.

As I mentioned in my previous post - you shouldn't go for drive which has larger capacity than 2TB. This answer comes straight from the Intel customer support when asked about what's the maximum size of HDDs supported by this motherboard.
You'll have no problem with drives which are 2TB or less.
 



500gb for operating system and 2tb for secondary for files is it ok? Equal to 2.5tb Or hdd<=2tb?
