6 Gigabit SSD Speed Optical Bay Macbook Pro 17 Late 2011
Hi, comunity. I own a MacBook Pro 17 Unibody Late 2011. I want to put on the optical bay a SATA 3.0 SSD. Optical Bay Specs:
Intel 6 Series Chipset:
Vendor: Intel
Product: 6 Series Chipset
Link Speed: 6 Gigabit
Negotiated Link Speed: 3 Gigabit
Description: AHCI Version 1.30 Supported
Can i use a SATA 3.0 SSD on that bay or it will only work with a SATA 2.0 SSD?
Note that the Optical Bay Link Speed says 6 Gigabit.
At the moment, i just put a SATA 3.0 SSD for the main sistem drive, and replace the SuperDrive with the original Toshiba HD 750GB.
Note that the Toshiba only give me 3 Gigabit speed, since i suppose it is a SATA 2.0 HD. Am i wrong?
