13″, 15″ MacBook Pro Owners Still Plagued with SATA II Issues
It’s been nearly three months since Apple released its 1.7 firmware update to address performance limiting issues with the initial 1.6 firmware that shipped with the latest 13″ and 15″ MacBook Pro notebooks. The 1.6 firmware limited interface speeds of SATA II drive to just 1.5 Gbps instead of the full spec speed of 3.0 Gbps.
The documentation provided with the 1.7 firmware update notes that:
MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.7 addresses an issue reported by a small number of customers using drives based on the SATA 3Gbps specification with the June 2009 MacBook Pro. While this update allows drives to use transfer rates greater than 1.5Gbps, Apple has not qualified or offered these drives for Mac notebooks and their use is unsupported.

The Custom Stealth uses the company’s own Sof*Touch coating to black out the aluminum in favor of a soft “zero gloss” finish from heel to toe. Even the screen has been modded for covert computing with a matte screen to produce less glare.

Apple hasn’t rested on its laurels, though, and less than a year later, the Cupertino outfit has outed yet another batch of even better 13.3-inch and 15-inch MacBooks.
