Looking at the fine print with a 20 power glass would seem to indicate that it is the 1.5Gbs limit jumper. NDI how one would go about removing it, its so shrouded and buried that no pair of tweezers I own could extract it. Whatever, the platters I would expect to see visibly scratched it I was to open it. By now, I'm sure seacrate would find an excuse not to warranty it. Shrug. Besides, the difference in machine speed is a lot more than 2/1.
