Right now im using a Hitachi HDS721010CLA322 1TB drive and its starting to put more and more BSOD and im thinking thats the problem it has a problem with the Reallocated Sectors Count. My question is will the M4A78LTM run the Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM drive or i need a new motherboard because? Here is a picture of my drive test http://imgur.com/57Hbph8.

That motherobard has

AMD SB710 controller :
1 x UltraDMA 133/100/66 for up to 2 PATA devices , navy blue
6 x SATA 3Gb/s port(s), blue
Support Raid 0, 1, 10, JBOD

I don't see why it wouldn't support Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM

Download latest drivers and update to latest BIOS here.

There was an issue before BIOS 0508 where HDD size may be shown incorrectly when using HDDs bigger than 2.2TB but what the latest BIOS does is:

0802 BIOS
1.Improve system stability
2.Improve memory stability

so get that and update
