    These machines are advertised as having "Mobile Intel HM65 Express Chipset", which supports SATA-III.

    However Toshiba, in its infinite wisdom, has disabled the SATA-III abilities.

    Does anybody know of a BIOS hack to overcome this?

    Also, I heard a rumor that Toshiba was threatening to release an updated BIOS "mid-2012". Anybody know if THAT will fix this.

    I had been very happy with Toshiba products; I don't think I will be recommending them to anyone henceforth.
