Which hard drive are you talking about? I've heard about spread spectrum, I've heard about clocking and I've heard of hard drives.. but never in relation to each other.. :)
Western Digital Wd2500KS SATAII hard drives have a set of pins you can put a jumper on that will enable spread spectrum clocking, but what does it actually do and does it effect performance?

In other words, it's used for reducing interference, not overclocking (I've heard that it has a bad impact on performance).Quote:
