Hi [MENTION=2446]savithk[/MENTION]

If you are planning for high storage like up to 3TB, you have to set the BIOS to UEFI and the drive in GPT format. Normally, the MBR format supports up to 2.2 TB so your MOBO is fine for that. If you need a 3TB, so I advise to update the BIOS.

For specific model for the HDD, its depend on your requirement. If you are planning for storage, so I’d suggest you to go with the WD Green.

For more information about WD Green, you may refer the below link
