    leave them alone. Generally speaking, SSC addresses possible EMI issues, generally only for very sensitive work areas, RPS is for external drives.

    Just leave them be, if everything is working fine, there is no need to go fiddling around.

    Changing the jumpers could effect the performance of the drive also... The way you have it is the correct way.
