Hi guys. I was cleaning up my PC and found a jumper on my HDD that limits it to 1.5gp/s transfer rate. Without it, it would work on its full speed of 3gb/s. Its a Seagate Barracuda 160gb HDD 7200rpm, SATA2. Is it safe to remove the jumper and allow it to have a transfer rate of 3gb/s instead of 1.5gb/s like with the jumper?
