    I saw some information which indicates that nowadays sony has locked the newest SA3 series BIOS for not downgrading back to the version of R1031Hc for enabling SATA3 function.
    So, I wonder, can anyone share their date of purchase and can your machine downgrade to the bios R1031H4?
    This information will be very useful for anyone who wants to get the new SA series in this week.
    thanks or sharing and thanksgiving !!!
