Raid array freaks out if I remove the limit to sata1/(150) jumpers?

I setup a raid array on my server with 8 seagate sata2 drives, but I didnt realize they came with jumpers that limit them to sata150 speeds. I removed them, and it causes my raid controller to freak out and drop drives and stuff. I put them back on and I get 0 errors now, but what would cause that?
 
The performance shouldn't matter, as hard disks can't go past SATA 1.5Gbps anyways. If it's causing issues, I'd say leave the jumpers on.
 
Not sure what would cause that...but just leave them on because the single drive cant reach those throughputs. Wont effect your performance.
 
yeah, that's pretty much what I figured, but I wasn't sure why that would make it go all haywire

Is your controller for sure SATA II compatible?

well, technically its an SAS raid card, but its listed at 3Gbps, so I would think sata II should work. Either way, I put it back to sata I and i'm leaving it there since it works
