Is this possible on all SATAII drives?

I have a similar issue with Western Digital drives and can't find this
information on their website.... actually check out the following link
and look at their graphic HOWTO:- 

http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=131&language=en

It appears that the one jumper setting (for SSC - is this what I'm
looking for?) they discuss is described as being enabled and disabled
with or without the jumper.
