Comment NVIDIA chipset issues? (Score 1, Interesting) 52
<speculation>I've more often than not had issues with "not Intel" chipsets when it came to reliable data transfer, particularly when stressing the system. Maybe Apple found some intermittent issue with their NVIDIA-based machines which were mitigated by turning down the SATA speed?</speculation>
It's a pity that Intel is unable to produce a decent integrated graphics solution...
