My mobo is a MSI K8N Neo4-F, and I'm looking at upgrading the HDD to the Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 Are they compatable?

Thanks!

Yeah, they will be. That hard drive is SATA, and your mobo supports SATA. Just make sure you have the right SATA power cable for it, or a molex to SATA convertor.

I just wondered because my mobo has 1.5Gbs and the HDD is 3.0Gbs.

sata2 drives have a jumper for backward compatbility so it should work fine , but it seems some of em have issues with nforce4 have a look at this thread
