Instead, Samsung insists you "use software to ensure SATA150". From the 5.0 manual: Note: In some rare cases SATA 1.5Gb/s hosts can not establish SATA interface connection with SATA 3.0Gb/s devices due to interface protocol issues. In this case you should switch your drive to SATA 1.5Gb/s speed with a software which we are providing via www.samsunghdd.com. The amusing part is that Version 3.0 and 4.0 of the manual mention the drive having a SATA150-limit jumper.
