Will this MB support a SSD Hard drive?

Yes. It has 7 SATA ports for HDDs. For SSDs I recommend the Samsung 850 EVO.

Thank you very much for that quick, helpful reply. I will look at the Samsung drive you suggested.
I'm new to this site ... it looks very interesting. Hope my response is done correctly.

Well, I've really done it now. Snagged a new Samsung 850 Pro 500 GB drive on ebay. Can't wait to get my hands on it to see if I can make it work. I've read that SSDs can sometimes be cantankerous. Any suggestions or advice on the install. I will be installing Win 7 Ultimate SP1 from DVD. There will be no migration from my old drive since it went belly-up. Important documents can be retrieved, however.
