Moving a jumper between each two pins will change the drive from master drive, slave drive, or cable select.

Not for sata drives

what are they even used for?

Changing the speed to a lower speed normally. Look at the drive manual or datasheet.

There is no master/slave on SATA. That's not what the pins are for.
