13" Mbp Only 1.5gb Sata ? - SOLVED!!!!!!!!!

[OllyW]

This what it should show for all you guys with the new MacBook Pros. This screenshot of my Al MacBook 2.4GHz shows 3Gb/s SATA connection. If your Mac doesn't show this, I've got bad news for you...

Edit - Edited pic to eliminate my names

You don't actually show the SATA speed in that picture.

i have a customer BTO 13" 2.53 coming in with a SSD in about 2 hours for a screen replacement.

i will let you know the bus speed.

You don't actually show the SATA speed in that picture.

Want me to enlarge it for you?

 

[JamesGorman]

Maybe if you have a bto, with ssd, they put a 3.0 gigabit connection in it?

2.26 13", 1.5 speed. Going back tomorrow for instant refund.

Voting with your wallet is the best way to send a clear message to Apple about this. I was about to order one but will no longer be doing so. In fact I don't think I will be buying any further Apple products until they address this issue and this is coming from someone who just paid the "early upgrade" price for iPhone 3G S with no complaints. It would be one thing if they were actually using a lower-cost controller chip to save money/differentiate the models but to use the same one and intentionally slow it down in software? That's truly beyond the pale as you said.

i would want to think so...or mabye its the reason why apple is still using the toshiba ssd which wont saturate a sata 1 bus

 

[mac jones]

Shame on you Apple!
But what does this mean in the real world?
Who besides ssd users would this affect?
Are we talking a 5-10 per cent speed decrease?

For instance, when I bought an Intel X25 when the first came out the guy who sold it said on the listing. "Please SATA 3.0 only".

I max's out even the 3.0 bandwidth let alone the 1.5.

you need to scroll up a bit me thinks

 

[jav6454]

Alright here it actually is, sorry about the previous mis taken picture.

 

[OllyW]

Want me to enlarge it for you?

Yes please. I really can't see it?

Edit:

I might be old, but my eyes still work!

I've also got a 2.53 Ghz MBP running Seagate 500GB 7200 rpm.

System Profiler reporting 1.5 Gigabit. Hopefuly this is some kind of fiaxable issue.

Funny funny!

To make some people see it better (no pun on old people pls) I have, squared shall I say? The important part.

Apple downgrades MBP SATA to 1.5Gb! Tell them how much this sucks

Apparently, Apple has downgraded the new 13" MBP SATA to 1.5Gb from the previous 3.0Gb.

Wow thats pretty disappointing. I was about the pull the trigger and get one with an Intel SSD. I guess there had to be a catch in the price drop. Dirty dirty Apple. I guess I have to wait until the next refresh.

 

[klover]

Running at 1.5 on my new MBP 13"...

 

[marioman38]

This is not confirmed. Ugh, these threads need merged.

 

[emt1]

Confirmed.

 

[woodrowh]

!3" Mbp 1.5

Running at 1.5 on my new MBP 13"... Same here

 

[AdamLikesMusic]

i really wish apple doesn't release the new umbp at all!
my previous umb is totally fine, it runs cool and have the 3.0gbit speed.
now i have to exchange it to the new one(since it's free to exchange) and capped by this 1.5gbit

So you're happy with your "totally fine" UMB, that runs cool and has the 3.0gbit speed, but you feel as if you have to exchange for the new one (since it's free, apparently), even though you're not happy with the 1.5gbit speed?

I hope I misunderstood your post...

 

[wingnut8]

My late 07 MBP is 1.5.

 

[Stinkfist69]

What is the speed on the new 15 inch Macbook Pros?

 

[jav6454]

What is the speed on the new 15 inch Macbook Pros?

We don't know thus far. We can confirm on the 2.26 GHz 13" MacBook Pro, but we need more people to look up the info found in the picture above to confirm.

 

[kinkster]

My late 07 MBP is 1.5.

thats understandable as ssds weren't really used then or were really expensive.

though some people have said only the random read/write is what matters so I'm not going to blame apple until someone clears that up.

 

[jimthegreek]

I just picked up a 17" today and its 3.0
