Compatibility of Z61m with Samsung Spinpoint M80 HM160JI

#1 Post by z/svc » Fri Jun 22, 2007 8:37 am

Hi all,

I am planning to fit Samsung Spinpoint M80 HM160JI (160 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA) into my Z61m as a primary disk. Does any one have any experiences with this config or similar? Will it work or can I expect any issues, like the BIOS incompatibility, errors, etc?

THanks!

I haven't seen this drive, but as long as the connector is the right type which this one is, I see no problems for you.
