13" MBP SATA interface downgraded to 1.5 Gigabit

I just checked my system information and the sata connection is reporting 1.5 Gigabit as the speed. I discovered this when I benchmarked my Vertex 60GB SSD and noticed that the speeds were a lot slower than before (I used to have a 15" umbp). Did apple downgrade the sata connection? This is a huge disappointment and very surprising.

13" MBP 2.2GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

I have a "mid 2008" mbp too, and it reports 1.5. Maybe this change was made LOOONG ago, and people are just now catching it.

It came with the unibody mac book pros in 2008. I have a mid 2008 15" running at 1.5 as well. So, in reality it made a short appearance.


my late 2008 unibody is not using SSD and is still run SATA II at 3.0 ......
