Peaches Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Apple hikes MacBook SATA speed3gig is the magic numberRemember the MacBook SATA degrade, meaning affected MacBooks could only operate SATA at 1.5Gbit/s, potentially slowing down SSD MacBook Pros? It's been fixed in a somewhat grudging manner by Apple.The MacBook Pro EFI firmware update 1.7: "allows drives to use transfer rates greater than 1.5Gbps, Apple has not qualified or offered these drives for Mac notebooks and their use is unsupported."Apple goes on to say: "All previous and current Apple portables with a SATA drive interface include a SATA 1.5Gbps hard drive," and doesn't mention SSD use.More detail the register - http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2009/06/2...macbook_3gbits/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
