#2 РІР‚вЂњ For those with a MacBook Pro 15РІР‚С– or 17РІР‚С– model that has SATA 3.0 6Gb/s link capability reported, it is very important to note that this EFI update does not appear to have resolved reliability of using a 6Gb/s drive in the optical bay.

It really makes no difference for the optical drive, but if you wish to add an additional 9.5mm hard drive or SSD with a product such as our Data Doubler, you can continue to do so with pretty much any 3G or 6G drive of your choosing. #1 РІР‚вЂњ if your MacBook Pro 2011 model currently has SATA 2.0 3Gb/s reported for your optical bay max link speed, this EFI update does not change that to SATA 3.0 6Gb/s. Very important points though concerning the optical bay. We are very thankful and excited to see the РІР‚ВquietРІР‚в„ў fix for 6Gb/s SATA 3.0 main bay drive reliability as a further benefit of this update. Nearly seven months after these machines first became available, all indications are that we can now reliably count on taking full advantage of the 6Gb/s capability provided.Р”Р„pple has somewhat dodged giving any direct response on the issue itself, but this long awaited solution just happens to be there in this update with the official description on AppleРІР‚в„ўs support site only mentioning the update as addressing Lion Internet Recovery and Thunderbolt. Well, if you ran Software Update this morning, MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.2 appears to be the answer. If youРІР‚в„ўre not familiar with it, the short form is that in many 17РІР‚С– 2011 MacBook Pros (and some 15РІР‚С– and 13РІР‚С– as well) had problems with SATA 3.0 Revision SSDs such as the Mercury EXTREME Pro 6G- through no fault of the SSD- resulting in spotty performance, beach ball timeout delays, and even complete failure to recognize SATA 3.0 6Gb/s SSDs at all. If youРІР‚в„ўve been reading the OWC Blog for the past few months, youРІР‚в„ўre probably well aware of the problems that 2011 MacBook Pros were having with 6.0Gb/s SATA performance.
