It makes no sense for Apple to use a different controller for HDD and SSD drives - they only want to make one motherboard. I'm sure this is a firmware issue. There's no need for 3 Gbps on 5400 rpm drives. The SATA link is far from saturated. I…

OS X and OS X Server are products. Could this transition be away from Apple-branded hardware and to virtualization technology? There is nothing hardware-wise that truly differentiates an Apple system from its competitors. Just look at the Mac Pro…
