If I remove the jumpers from my hard drive, will my motherboard automatically switch from 1.5gb/s to 3.0?

Question

Or will I have to go into the BIOS and fix it?

Thanks...I installed this hard drive recently and forgot that I left the jumpers in, so just want to know if I removed it if it will auto set it to 3.0 or I have to manually do it.

Answer 1

Taking the jumper off won't hurt anything, and assuming your motherboard supports SATA 3.0, then it will automatically go to 3.0 when you take the jumpers off.  I checked your board and it has 6 SATA 3.0 ports, so your set.  

Answer 2

Only if your board supports 3.0.
