Yes. Intel D946GZIS motherboard supports 2 Terabytes of hard disk capacity or even more. The most important factor that you have to consider is the interface of the hard disk. According to Cnet, this motherboard has SATA interface (Intel ICH7 : Serial ATA-300 - connector(s): 4 x 7pin Serial ATA - 4 device(s)). You can read more information about this motherboard here.
