No reason it shouldn't. That was one of the choices I was given when I
bought my current desktop. I chose a Seagate instead, for no particular
reason, so I can't speak from experience.

Can anyone tell me in Ubuntu Linux will run on a WD SATA 160Mb drive?

Thank You,

I've installed the 64-bit version on a Seagate SATA 250GB drive. Just
installed Mepis on a WD SATAII 320GB drive.

The latest Ubuntu should install fine using an SATA HD interface. I
just built a dual boot PC using an Intel 915 GEV motherboard -

and the HD you mentioned. the standard install, however, sets the
default video refresh rate at 85 Hz which will toast some LCD monitors
such as the Viewsonic VP171b. I never have gotten the audio to work
even though Intel -

has drivers for the Debian 'Sarge" release. I have yet to get ANY
Linux distro to fully work with a late model motherboard. I would be
interested in hearing the details from any and all who have.
