I have recently built a system with a "GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L" motherboard. I am using a Western Digital WD800JD Serial-ATA Hard Drive. Currently I have it in SATAII0. In Bios it is reporting that it is an IDE drive. I have run benchmark tests and it seems as if my scores for HD are weaker then most SATA drives. Is this because of the 8mb cache or am I right to be suspicious of the IDE appearance in BIOS. The HD is supposed to remain jumper-less when using SATA - That is how I have it.
Also, the reason I am worried of this is because I chose this motherboard because its SATA is capable of 3.0gb/s as is the HD. I just dont think im getting that performance.
Thank you for your time.
