Hard Drive Compatible

I’m reinstating a very old computer I once used back in the days as use for a spare computer and I’m in need of a new hard drive.

I was wondering if all SATA hard drives are compatible with my computer since I consider myself barely computer savvy.

MB: GIGABYTE GA-M61PME-S2P AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

PSU: APEVIA WIN-500XSPX 500W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply

I’m also wondering if my Nvidia Geforce GT 220 would work on this too since I just upgrade to another GPU on my main computer.

I don’t need those 250+ GB hard drives, just wondering if I can just go around and buy a cheap one just to make this computer functional.

I also have the OS CD available,both xp,visa and 7.(not pirated,they’re legal versions)

If I get a answer soon, I’m looking to buy this:

NIB HP 80GB SATA HDD Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm
Brand new in factory wrap HP Seagate Barracuda 80GB SATA HDD. These drives are compatible with many HP servers including the Proliant ML110. This item is guaranteed not DOA and has never been installed in a server. These were spare drives and would be perfect for increasing the storage capacity in your HP server.

Any advice, or recommendations are welcomed. Have a nice day.

Your motherboard has SATA 3GB and PCIe X16 slot so any SATA HDD should work and your GT220 should work just as well. Your PSU although not the best will drive this fine.
