Does the 2010 MBP support 6GB/s SSDs (Sata 3 in HD bay?)

[Hydrocity]

I have a 2010 MBP and got an intel 510 series which supports both 6GB and 3 GB. Im planning to do an optibay so if I put the intel SSD in the Hd bay and the HD in the optibay, will my SSD be able to take advantage of full 6 GB/s or Will it be limited to 3 GB/s?

I'm pretty sure the 2010 MBP do not do SATA 3 (6gb)

Thats what I thought to, but somebody told me the Optibay only has Sata 2, but the actual HD bay has Sata 3

this is true for the initial batch of the 2011 mbps.

It doesn't, but here's a way you can check on your own computer. Open up system profiler and click on serial-ata on the left hand side. Check the "Link Speed:" for both the controllers.

can i ask a potentially stupid question here?

does this mean that SATA 3 drives WILL work in my 09 13" but only at the speed of SATA 2? the connection is the same physically so i can use it and make the SATA 3 an investment for my future purchases?

Thanks
