Apple hikes MacBook SATA speed

3gig is the magic number

Remember 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.
