Limit to 1.5Gb/s Operation vs. 3 Gb/s Operation
I just noticed on the top of the drives that there's a jumper setting for either 1.5 or 3 Gb/s operation. The setting is the way it came, 1.5. Is there any reason why I shouldn't remove the jumper so it will operate faster? I am just about to setup RAID0 using two 500GB Barracuda 7200.11 drives (ST3500320AS). The final 1TB will be used for editing HD video. The OS I will be using is Win XP Pro SP2 X64 edition with 4GB RAM on an ASUS P5K Premium motherboard and Q6600 quad processor.
Any help is truly appreciated. Thanks |

Seagate made sure the jumper sits inside forever or something... |
I wonder if pulling this jumper out on a drive that has data on it and operated in 1.5Gb mode for couple of years will corrupt the data in it. I am hooking this drive to Asus P5K Premium motherboard which does support 3Gb SATA.
Can anyone advice anything? Thanks so much! |
Hi Renat..............
The drive will either work or it won't, pulling the jumper won't affect anything on the disc itself.
All it's changeing is the interface speed - go for it! CS |
