In summary, the compatibility of an internal HDD storage device with a PC depends on various factors such as the operating system, connector type, and hardware specifications. It is important to check the requirements and specifications of both the device and the PC before purchasing to ensure compatibility. Additionally, some software may need to be installed for the device to function properly on the PC. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer or do thorough research before making a purchase to avoid any compatibility issues.

I am asking if a SATA -II TOSHIBA HDWD110 Internal HDD Storage Device software is compatible with a FOXCONN H61 MX Motherboard with Celeron 6 1610 2.6 GHz Processor PC ? or if a SATA -II TOSHIBA HDWD110 Internal HDD Storage Device software is compatible with a HP COMPAQ ELITE 8200 SFF PC Motherboard with intel core i5 2400 Processor PC ?

What have you discovered about the HDD storage device?

I would suspect the manufacturer's website would describe its capabilities and supported OS platforms that they have written device drivers for.

It seems there is filesystem support for:

• Windows: Typically NTFS, FAT32, or exFAT.
• Linux: ext4, ext3, XFS, Btrfs, etc.
• macOS: APFS, HFS+.

Will a ten year old drive work in a ten year old motherboard? Probably. Will someone guarantee that it will? Probably not.

To add: if your drive hasn't been in use for years, it might not work when plugged in, even if "compatible". These do not last forever.

The theory is 'yes'.
Now, you should start experimenting.
