Samsung HD160JJ/P Problem
I recently purchased a Dell 5150C with a Samsung HD160JJ/P hard drive. When running the diagnostic program Sandrasoft a message comes up saying that the optimum speed is not being used. It shows UDMA 5 instead of UDMA7. The drive is supposed to be SATA and I beleive therefore should be using UDMA7. I have check... 27 Jun 2006 13:03
