New MBP Use 6.0GB Sata Drives?

[Wicked1]

Wondering if they take agdvantage of the new 6.0 GB Sata drives, as most MBP only utilize the 3.0 GB Drives?

One of the two SATA ports (HD bay) in the new MBPs is 6Gb/s. The drives Apple use are SATA 3Gb/s though.

Yep, main bay supports Sata 3, and opti bay sata 2... which naturally means you wont be raiding sata 3 with fx 2 vertex 3 drives.

But a sata 3 in main bay and you'll be rocking. 🙂

Does the stock HDD have built in SMS? Is it safe to put the stock HDD in an optibay?

yes my ssd link speed is sata 3 6GB/s but negotiated speed is 3GB/s

i think the SMS is not inbuilt and does not apply in the optibay for the stock hdd

i have the CTO 500GB 7200 and it has not had any issues so far
