On the back of all seagate drives there is a very small white jumper on pins on the right of the SATA port. This limits the hard drives transfer to 1.5gb/s to improve compatability with older raid controlers.

Just for refrence the new 1.5tb does not come with them because they feell its beyond the limit of SATA 1 so compatibility will be less of an issue as noone with a sata1 limited board will look to a 1.5tb drive.

Yes, that is where you will find it, and it will be VERY SMALL!!!

Thanks for the information. I thought maybe I had overlooked a jumper on the mb. I just built this new system and have been chasing my tail for the last three days, trying to get my "Acronis 8.0" or "G4U-2.3" backup programs to clone my drives in less than 20 hours (1.8KB/sec), thinking I had missed something in bios or jumper on mb. Turns out both programs will not work properly with new system. I downloaded free "Glonzilla 1.2.1-23" which works very well and very fast clone (1.8 gigs/min). Now I can sleep like a baby!
This is my first Gigabyte MB. Needless to say it is very impressive.
Thanks.

Thanks for posting back!

So this "Glonzilla 1.2.1-23" works with SATA and or RAID or no? Please do link me up if you can, I will find it but just wanted a link posted for others later if they find this thread

And I take it you meant Clonezilla right?
