    Why can't Lenovo just release a BIOS update to fix this..? Talk about advertising something and not doing it.. Any ideas..?

    this topic has already been exhausted beyond reason.   please see ZaZ's note at the end of the original thread:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=399772&page=37

    as it stands, not a single person has been able to prove that unlocking 3.0 Gbps capability would make an appreciable change in real-world use.   synthetic benchmarks -- especially those designed for hard drives and not SSDs -- do not provide an accurate picture of an SSDs true capabilities on SATA-enabled systems.

    in the real world, a quick SSD will run just as quickly on a T61 as it would a T500, barring any differences in processor speeds.

    buy a fast SSD and be happy with it.   agonizing over such trivial issues is unnecessary. ;)
