Thanks for that, but I did figure it out. Well, I went and read a bit more on the sata specs and you're correct. The SATA is backwards compatible so I figured there was no need to use a jumper. I also emailed Hitachi about it, but won't get an answer until next week I'm sure. So I just went ahead and put the drive in the NV plus, but it didn't take it after doing a hot swap. I just got the dead drive and nothing happened. So I just turned it off, pull it out and tried again. The good news is that it worked right after that, it started doing it's thing and it finally finished tonight but it did take most of the day, so everything looks good using these drives with the latest firmware at the moment. I didn't need to hack anything which is good news. Here's the picture, hope this helps others. I'll put the other one in a day or two and let this one run for a bit. I only have 500gb drives in there so these new ones should give me plenty of room to clean up my desktop and organize things a bit more assuming I don't get any problems later.
