| 827173 | 2009-11-04 21:05:00 | Got my new WD 1TB green HDD yesterday afternoon and notice that the Jumper setting configuration is a littel different from Seagates'. Here are the options: 1 & 2 : Spread Spectrum Clocking -- what is this? 3 & 4 : Power-Up in Standby -- No idea what is this for, too. 5 & 6 : 1.5 GB -- This is obvious, limiting to SATA1 - at least I know something, ha ha Factory Default is NO jumpers. Also, when I was loading Win 7, I partitioned my C: to 200 GB and Win7 was setting up, it prompted that for Windows to operate properly, it created a 100 MB partition reserved for system files. Those are not the exact wordings but it's something to that effect! I don't remember there was such a prompt when setting up the Win 7 RC. Have I done something wrong? |
