The 2009 Macbook SATA drama

Ah, that's not so bad then.

If I wasn't planning to install an SSD I wouldn't have cared a jot about it to be honest. But the fact that I was means that it directly affects me.

It really is something that should be fixable. My decision to potentially return it is based on the idea that Apple have added it as an artificial limit, which they clearly have given that the chipset supports it. Either that or it's an error with System profiler which seems unlikely.

If you have a MacBook or MacBook Pro (any revision, any year), open About this Mac (click more info) / System Profiler and go to the following section..

Hardware​
Serial-ATA​

Now, click on your drive, and have a look what it says for speed.

An example of what it looks like is shown below.

Notice it says 1.5 Gigabit..

Perhaps they have been this way for a while, and no one has noticed?

Good good, pleased to see it was just a glitch that affected "a small number of users" *ahem* :D
 
I bet this was raised as soon as Steve entered back into Apple HQ and demanded it be done, and thus today we have a fix! hehe.
