• should be. Make sure drive is formatted as GPT, or you'll only be able to access 2 terabytes.

• This HDD is fully supported by any SATA III connected motherboard. If you're having issues, it could be driver on the board, mechanical failure of the hard drive, or a separate issue with your system.

• Yes. Your Motherboard will support up to six of them. Perhaps it is the HD but, i would bet it is the motherboard.

• OzMoses, according to a bit of info I've read up on and from past experiences with older generation Gigabyte boards you actually need a program from Gigabyte that would allow you to utilize larger drives, this should address your problem. Ironically they don't show it on the driver or utility pages for your motherboard, but this is for all boards that would require it to recognize all the un-allocated space giving you the 3TB or roughly 2.92TB after formatting, give or take a couple gigabytes. http://www.gigabyte.com/microsite/276/3tb.html
