Hey John, It?s even slicker than that! There are no jumpers to set as well.

You have one jumper to set to tell the drive it is a slave, and that is it! Two wires to plug in, a tab to rotate downward to hold the drive in place, close the door and start. The Operating system opens a dialogue saying that a new drive has been installed and how do you want it formatted. Done. The entire process didn't take five min., this was so much easier than what I remember from before. Apple continues to make things simpler, I grin at learning the simplicity of the newer computers.
