[QUOTE="alfalfa, post: 1363731, member: 236340"] Thanks. I'll definitely return the hard drive. The fellow in the forum you linked said, "Unfortunately the [U]Scorpio drives do not have a reduction option[/U] to sata 1..." and "...Western Digital has produced drives with Sata 1 speed but the [U]maximal size is 250 GB[/U]" Is that true? Does that mean this drive wouldn't work either? [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Western%20Digital/WD3200BEVE/]Western Digital WD3200BEVE 320.0GB "Scorpio"... in stock at OWC[/url] I was hoping to find something larger than 250GB, too. Forgive my ignorance. I'm not really familiar with the 'jumper' thing. I did some quick research online but I'm not sure how to tell which drives are adjustable. I can't seem to find the information online...or maybe I just don't know exactly what information I'm looking for. If WD doesn't have the drive I need, what brand HDD would you recommend? Thanks for your time! -Seth [/QUOTE]
