Samsung Spinpoint F3 setup

[dc4517]

I was reading somewhere a few days ago (can't remember where specifically) that the Samsung Spinpoint F3 has a jumper configuration that you need to set in order to run at 3.0 Gbps SATA. I didn't check the jumper configuration before installing the HD into my case. Is there a way to confirm that the HD is running at 3.0 Gbps rather than 1.5 Gbps?

I've already installed everything, laid out the cabling, and buttoned up my case, not to mention placing my case in a specific spot under my desk that's a PITA to deal with. I'm hoping someone can either confirm it's already pre-configured to run at 3.0 Gbps or there is a way to verify the setup through Win7.

You have to put a jumper on it to make it run at 1.5 Gbps, not the other way around.

That's good to hear. I didn't want to have to pull it out.

there is likely a utility from Samsung that will check the settings. Go to their site and DL it if you are curious...but as the previous poster said, it's on by default.
