Hard Drive Jumpers

[dr_latino999]

I purchase all of my drives OEM so I am looking for a refutable place to purchase the jumpers for the pins on the back of the drives. Any ideas on where to pick them up?

You buying IDE drives?

 

[dr_latino999]

No, SATA. Disabling and enabling different settings can still be done through the jumper block.

I normally save the jumpers off IDE drives I throw away, and buy a pack of 10 or so off Ebay when i need some

I've ordered jumpers from cyberguys before, and I got what I expected, and the shipping was quick.

What do you need jumpers for? If SATA I rarely use them, only for IDE when I don't want to use cable select mode.

You can run reduced spinup, throttle a 3.0 sata down to a 1.5 sata configuration. etc..

2 months ago I would have been shocked to know this then I stuck a couple 1tb greens in my whs and it simply wouldn't boot. Needed to jump the drives down to 1.5 due to an older mobo and voila, they worked flawlessly.

Also, if you have an almighty Fry's next to you, $.99 for the convenient extended plastic jumpers.
