While it had been a long road with various frustrations in terms of using a 6Gb/s SSD in even the main bay of the previous 15” and 17” models – Apple’s EFI 2.2 update resolved most of those issues. This is the same as drive setup/configuration we saw in the the Early 2011 MacBook Pros. Although still unstable in the 15″ and 17″, the optical bay SATA signal has improved considerably and we are looking into possibilities that might make 6Gb/s in this bay reliable. Just like the Early 2011 models, while we continue to see reliability with 6Gb/s in the optical bay of the 13″ model – the optical bays of the 15″ and 17″ models remain too unstable for 6Gb/s drive use. Right out of the gate all of these models are proving 100% reliable for use of a SATA Revision 3.0 hard drive or OWC 6G SSD installed into the main drive bay. These units all show 6Gb/s link capability for both the main drive bay and the optical bay. As we mentioned last Monday, Apple has released new “speed bumped” MacBook Pro 13″, 15″, and 17″ model laptops.
