yes that has been covered numerous times. Bootcamped Windows seems to report sata 3.0, but somehow benchmarks under it still show speeds running at sata 1.5.

I´m from Brazil.. I don't have much time to wait :p

Um, that's for the iMac.

Edit: There is an EFI update (v 1.7) in software update for me. Looks like you just posted the wrong page.

"MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.7 addresses an issue using drives based on the SATA 3Gbps specification with the MacBook Pro introduced in June 2009. This update allows drives to use transfer rates greater than 1.5Gbps, however Apple has not qualified or offered these drives for Mac portable computers, and their use remains unsupported. All previous and current Apple portables with a SATA drive interface include a SATA 1.5Gbps hard drive."


Can anyone explain this? I don't think I'm being an idiot but I can't make sense of it. Especially the bolded part. Thanks
 
GREAT! I just called apple support this morning and they told me that should be a hardware replacement to fix....WTH.
And when i'm back it's fixed. thanks every one for the efforts to make this happen.

Right page - just a "misprint" on the page :) - but hey, I'm on 3Gb here. Now - time to test an install on my Vertex SSD..

A big THANKS to everybody who voiced their concern to Apple!

I'll but i have to finish my work first.
The baby is sitting at home.

From the tone of that 1.7 efi update page. Apple sounds like they don't have any responsibility if this doesn't work. I hope this could fix the freeze issue and let my SSD free fly.
