Hey there, I have read that the new OCZ Vertex3 SSD will have an SATA 3 6.0Gbit/s connection. Does the SATA controller of the new MacBook Pro series (8,1 8,2 8,3) supports SATA 3? Thank you for your support! Sebastian
This article should give you all the information you need on Macs and support for SATA 3, USB3, 6 gbps and SSD support: http://www.stationstops.com/2010/02/17/a…
I believe that the harddrive will work regardless if the SATA controller is SATA 3 or not, it just won’t at its full speeds. That SSD will still provide a very nice performance boost though. SATA 3 is backwards compatible Don’t forget to mark whichever answer satisfies your question, if any.
The article cited by mayer is about last year’s notebooks. Apparently the HDD shows as SATA 3, but not the DVD drive (that may be a SW limitation; a similar situation happened with SATA 2) http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.p…
Hi, My macbook late 2009 has sata-2 hard drive interface. I got a SSD SATA 3, Kingston Hyper SSD 120. Will it work if I connect the ssd sata3 with the sata2 connector inside my macbook? Thanks Adriel.
