2012 hdd jumper

[potatis]

Are there not jumpers on sata disks? I took out the Hitachi 1 TB hdd from the 2012 mini to use for something else, but there's no jumper/pins.

Sata drives don't need to jumpers to set which drive is the master and which drive is the slave

this.


your question relates to much older gear ide hdds and sata I circa 2006 or so.

usually no jumpers are needed, some drives have a jumper to select slower SATA mode, mostly needed for older USB cases.
Master/Slave jumpers where needed using parallel IDE which had the possibility to connect two drives to a single cable.
