are there any jumper pin settings on this drive?

No. There is no Master, Slave or Cable Select on SATA drives. Sata is a Point to Point. you only connect one drive per cable. Even if you are using a SAS card with a Sata drive there is no jumper settings like the old IDE. Some computers though cannot use a sata II or Sata III so there are jumpers to tell the drive to be slower. see this picture for a Segate image. http://support.seagate.com/kbimg/3178-1.gif There are jumpers that Western digigal has but i doubt in normal useage you will use them. http://www.techarp.com/review/Western_Digital/Scorpio_Black_320GB/jumpers.jpg No. There is no Master, Slave or Cable Select on SATA drives.

no I did not use any jumpers .I just took it the hard drive out of the box then I took the screws off of the old one and put them one the new one and used the sata cord that was already in the computer and hooked it all up and it worked . I would check the Bios to see if it will detect the drive.

No, there are no jumpers for usage with chipsets that do not properly perform speed auto-negotiation. This drive was not detected by an older motherboard with the VIA VT8237 chipset.It will work fine with SATA 1.0 chipsets that are forward compatible though.

No it does not include jumpers or any options other than 'direction' IDE to SATA or SATA to IDE. No documentation at all was included in the package. But the connections are pretty straight forward.

You shouldn't have to. Try a different port. And also wait up to 60 seconds for the drive to be recognized.

call the company....they are very helpful or email them. I own two of their drives and have been very happy

I just plugged 1ssd and one sata drive. I think two ports are hight speed but I dont remenber. whats the plan with that huge setup?

Apparently the answer is no. I was not interested in password protection so I did not look for that feature. There is nothing in the companion literature or on the drive itself that indicates my 16GB drives have this feature.

I've never heard of a limit on that hot swap. The hot swap bay has an interface card behind it. That card then plugs into your mobo with sata cables. I'd start there and check the cables, then check to see if the drive in the bay is properly inserted when you close the latch on the front.

There is a jumper on each drive (near the power & signal cables). Set one to MASTER the other to SLAVE. Usually the jumpers are labeled, but if not, need to confirm with the manufacturer or user guide.Also see: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-set-jumpers-for-your-computers-ide-drive.html, http://www.kitchentablecomputers.com/hdrive3.php, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Technology_Attachment#Master_and_slave_clarification.Hope this helps.

well you need to unscrew the case to get to the drive so no way i can think of. you could eject it, unplug it, open it up, and put in a new one. would take you a few minuets to do but its possible.

There are screw holes available on the normal HDD mounting brackets. There is also a place on the MB mounting tray to install a SDD.

There is no on/off switch on the drive. I'm guessing here, but the only way to shut it down is to disconnect the power cord. I use it as my Carbonite backup drive, so it's always on.

It shouldn't be a problem. The last four pins are for master/slave selection with a jumper.

There are no jumpers on the adapter itself. For Master/Slave configuration it would be on the drive. But I believe most often "Cable Select" is used on today's drives. You can use one adapter per SATA Drive. My guess is that you are using newer SATA DVD drives on an old IDE Motherboard? In that case check the drives themselves for the pin layout for Master/Slave when being put on the one IDE flat cable. I don't know if it will work.

Yes. But you have to actually swap it. You have to open the drive with out the system knowing. youtube has useful videos on this.

There are more port options HDs than there are branded HDs. You would first need to specify which port option you are seeking to connect to.
