In my quest for a faster running system I found out that the OEM HDD I bought off a mate for storage is actually a WD2500KS SATA-II 16MB cache, bit of a bonus, I had no idea!
So anyway, I've checked the jumper and it's been removed, but HDTach shows a burst speed of only 168MB/s
I have a 965P-DS3 mobo, which I believe supports SATA-II, so I'm a bit stumped as to why it's basically running at normal SATA speed?!?
Would it make a difference that the drive has been partitioned?
Is there anything I might need to change in the BIOS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I know nuffink!!
