[SOLVED] Maximum data transfer rate 150 MB/s or 300 MB/s

Working on a Clients' CPu, replacing the HDD.

A new WD800JD. Specs on WD site claim 150 MB/s or 300 MB/s. There is no documentation in the .pdf file available at WD's site but the jumper settings indicate if #5&6 are jumpered this will activate 300 MB/s. Am I answering my own question? Is this correct that data transfer rates can be jumpered from factory (no jumpers) to jumpering pins 5&6 to allow 300 MB/s?

Thanks in advance

No if you jumper pins 5&6 it will only let the drive run at 150, leave the jumper of if the motherboard supports 300.

Everytime I have received a wd there were no jumpers included and I had to add one when the motherboard only supports 150
