How to find compatible Hard Drive for my motherboard?
How do I find compatible Hard Drive for my motherboard? I am assembling my own computer and in my initial stages of finding out and buying a used Hard Drive. Any suggestions on types of compatible Hard Drive specs (in details) and cheap options to buy in Canada would be very highly appreciated.
Motherboard spec:-
INTEL DQ45CB MOTHERBOARD W CORE 2 DUO E8400 3.0GHZ

Thanks guys. I understand the correct specs now. However, my pockets are bit tight and this is my first system in building, I am buying most of the USED parts. So any suggestion on a cheaper alternative will be greatly appreciated (say $30-$40) - just the moderate speed ones.

This is the best HDD I could find. Great speed, and available in laptop or desktop format, 500+ GB:

May I ask, why are you building a rig with such outdated hardware? Just for practice?

How cheap? What's the minimum capacity you want? Old hard drives are unreliable. I don't trust them. Storage is pretty cheap nowadays. Remember, any PC building you need help with just call me by saying @pccheese. Every PC in our house is home built!

$30 max for HDD (250GB or more), I'm in Vancouver Canada and don't find local hardware shops selling that cheap so I'm looking online (ebay and amazon). I got the motherboard, RAM and keyboard so far and looking for HDD, mouse, cables and everything else I need for a basic computer build. Any suggestion on other items would also be appreciated. Any opinion on this HDD:-

I suppose that's good as far as used HDDs go, but I still can't recommend pre-owned hard drives. Any SATA HDD will work.
