Instead, Samsung insists you "use software to ensure SATA150". From the 5.0 manual: Note: In some rare cases SATA 1.5Gb/s hosts can not establish SATA interface connection with SATA 3.0Gb/s devices due to interface protocol issues. In this case you should switch your drive to SATA 1.5Gb/s speed with a software which we are providing via www.samsunghdd.com. The amusing part is that Version 3.0 and 4.0 of the manual mention the drive having a SATA150-limit jumper. P.S. -- I'm pulling freebsd-questions off the To list, because I'm getting mails stating moderators need to approve my posts due to too many recipients (I assume due to list cross-posting). -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
