=the question ur asking is so open and only a long winded answer would answer it for u lol

if u look in some of the tutorials which are all over the gaff you'll see lists of cards that are good with different drives

all drives can be flashed apart from the 79 drive so without even knowing what drive u have, it could be possible that u get one of them!!

get the 360, open it and then search for the tutorials in the pinned, will take 2 mins to find them, they're at the top of forums

go buy urself a via 6421 sata card and u should be good to go

they're only about £20 max brand new

but im saying why would i buy that if its already good to do with my 8 on board sata connections. for the sake of argument... cold i do it on my board with a ms25...there is that easier to tell me yes or no it will work or it wont

wouldnt it simply make more sense to wait and see which drive you get then come back and ask questions if you need to

You have a NF4 chipset in that motherboard.... it should work for flashing both types of drives.. You may have more trouble flashing the samsung.
