The only jumper's that *maybe* on a sata drive are to force sata 1.5
'recertified' sounds to me like the drive has been returned under warranty &
no fault was found, I've never seen that from the actuall HD manufacturer,
more likely a suppliers designation.

Ok thanks.

For the large RAID configs what are we talking about there,
specifically? How many drives?

My RAID card can support 4, 1.5 TB drives at SATA 1.5gb/s. I have 3
hdd's attached already for RAID config. 2 160gb's and 1 450gb, all SATA
1.5's.

I think its the "recertified" also, but that wouldn't solve the fact
that it runs fine on an eSata to Sata cable and enclosure. Unless the
drive is underpowered from the mother board, and plugging it into the
externally powered enclosure gives it more juice?
