I stand corrected, though in a weird way:
Version 5.0 of the manual for this disk does not mention any jumper.
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.
So it is probably a difference related to the date/version of the
disk. Mine one has the jumper. Probably some newer ones need it to be
software-configured.
I think I can find a nVidia chipsed SATA2 controller to find out if
this is a problem related to this disk + ICH controller combo.
