Apple Issues Firmware Upgrade For MacBook Pro 52

Posted by timothy on Tuesday June 23, 2009 @10:01AM from the there-there-here-you-go dept.

Lucas123 writes "After declining comment on an apparent downgrade to the serial ATA hard drive interface in its new MacBook Pros, from 3Gbps to 1.5Gbps, Apple today issued a firmware upgrade to fix a problem reported by 'a small number of customers' using drives based on the latest SATA specification. Apple warned that it has not shipped drives operating at the higher-speed specification, saying, 'While this update allows drives to use transfer rates greater than 1.5Gbit/sec, Apple has not qualified or offered these drives for Mac notebooks and their use is unsupported.'"

Comment That would make Apple a worthless brand (Score 1) 523

Most of the Apple hardcore loyalists would drop Apple like it had a big nasty worm.

I doubt Jobs would sell Apple. And IBM getting rid of their PC division because it has no profit potential. I doubt they would be able to better manage Apple than Apple can by itself.

I say this is a speculative unlikelyhood.
