Hello Sluggers,

Just bought me a new 250G sata hard drive. Already running two older IDE
drives.

Going to use it for backups, put SUSE 10.2 on it and some data storage.
Have a question about the drive though. Has a jumper on it. Got no
documentation, warranty, etc about the drive (Seagate) from NewEgg.

I googled a bunch about this jumper and only served to confuse me. ie:
only remove/change for "enterprise", "changing jumper increase
throughput" etc.

So what say the Sluggers. Educate the old guy.

Bob S.
