Assuming this thing gets legs and starts mooching around the web, here are what seems to be confirmed.
All the machines that were actually changed at WWDC seem to be reporting SATA I as their current ATA bus speed. (1.5Gbps).
So this means the new 13" and 15" Macbook Pros (SDCard revision).
The whitebook and the 17" report SATA II. As do the previous revision 15" MBPs.
The machines that report as SATA I under OSX, appear as SATA II under Windows 7.
Although some Win benchmarks say it's running at under 150Mbps (the SATA I limit).
So:
there's either a reporting tool issue or
the bus is limited in software under OSX or
the bus is lmited in firmware under all OS's.
Just thought I'd summarise all nonsense I've been reading on various forums. Chip in your own findings here.
