MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.7

Remember that story we posted last week (here) about the new MacBook Pro having hard drive controller speeds that were half that of their predecessors? Well, wouldn’t you know it, a little bad press and there is a firmware update posted lickity-split.

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.7 addresses an issue reported by a small number of customers using drives based on the SATA 3Gbps specification with the June 2009 MacBook Pro. While this update allows drives to use transfer rates greater than 1.5Gbps, Apple has not qualified or offered these drives for Mac notebooks and their use is unsupported.
