Go here for the settings for sata 3 & sata 6. WD SATA hard drives are factory set for workstation/desktop use. For enterprise storage requirements, the jumpers can be set to enable spread spectrum clocking or power-up in standby modes. WD SATA drives are shipped from the factory eitherwith or without a jumper shunt in the spread spectrum clocking (SSC) enable/disable position (on pins 1 and 2). It is not necessary to add or remove the jumper shunt on the drive for workstation/desktop use.
I hope this is helpful to you!
