How much maximum capacity of hard disk i can use?

Your motherboard does not limit the maximum amount of hard disk you can see / utilize. There is no theoretical limit to the size of the hard drive you can have (although the largest hard disk available on the market right now is 1.5 terabytes.) When shopping for a hard drive, make sure you find out what interface your motherboard uses for hard disks (IDE, SATA, SATA 2, etc.

The most important limitation on the capacity of a disk drive is the type of file structure that it uses. The motherboard is not normally a factor. Drive volumes structured with FAT16 (like old MS-DOS machines and old Windows versions up through Windows 95, ME, SE, etc.) can contain up to 2 gigabytes. FAT32 can support volumes of up to 2 terabytes. NTFS (Windows NT and XP and beyond) can support up to 1.8 million terabytes. HFS (Mac) can go up to 2 TB. UFS (UNIX) can support up to 10 billion terabytes.

The motherboard DOES NOT limit the capacity of your hard drive, what might play a factor is whether or not the motherboard or MOBO support the type that your putting in and if u have enough power to make it run. A Hard drive generally won’t use much power like a video card. So for your question, as much as you want as long as your MOBO supports the type that you’re putting in. Generally, most MOBO support SATA. Read up on the specs of your motherboard and see what kind it supports.

The only thing thing the motherboard needs is for the drive to match the type of interface you’re using. So, if the motherboard only supports EIDE (PATA), then you should be able to use the largest PATA drive you can find. Same thing with SATA. By the way, that motherboard part number doesn’t tell anyone anything. You would need to add the manufacturer’s name, too. Either way, it shouldn’t matter.
