I think the cable thing is only the 17" models. As for why? i honestly don't know...probably OS X features like SMS, Drive Sleep, SMART etc interfering with SSD controllers.
 
In the other thread it was said that models from April and later don't have these problems. Is this true?

Mine is from March.
 
mine is a week 22 2.3 CTO and its crap its my third and its going back
going to try one more then its pc time. ive hadit with this been on mac for last 10 years since switching but i think apple now just a phone company

mac 2 17th april 6/3
mac 3 3rd june 6/6

none work with vertex 3 various levels of problem but in a £2300 + vertex3
its not good

i think apple beta testers for intel good work if you can get it

lol

thats the envy speakin - wish i went for high end 15"
the 17" has not lived upto what i expected it to be
since i have a redundant expresscard slot - as all usb3 cards i tried have failed!
and this pissin sata-3 inconsistencies with sata 6 drives :mad:


in hindsight - wish saved my £200 and the £150 on owc SSD and got a vertex 3 then an 27" ACD later in the year
