I'm planning to build my own computer for the first time and I'm wondering if the space of the hard drive depends on what motherboard you use. I'm planning to use a 2 TB hard drive.
Provided you're using modern parts and not old, outdated bits and pieces, the only correlation between the motherboard and the hard drive would be read speed. Make sure both items support SATA3 for the best speed/performance.
Bear in mind though, that because of the way windows formats the drive it will only show up as 1.81 TB in my computer, don't go thinking there's something wrong with it, its normal.
