Was going through the manual and it lists an OPT1 that will enable 150mb/s. The default is off from the factory but what would happen if i turned it on? It says to only enable if the hard drive is used in a enterprise storage environment.

As I can see it is a network communication port...
Strange that no other answer or ask this question.

Not much info, but isn't this just an option between 1.5Gbps and 3.0Gbps mode for Serial ATA disks? If both support 3.0Gbps (300MB/s) you don't need to set it to 1.5Gbps.
