We’re proud to announce that all of those products still work just fine when plugged into the new Thunderbolt port. Speaking of future availability and another first for Apple…the next items up for testing were all of our mini DisplayPort adapters and cables.

We’ll be sure to have plenty of drives on hand to take advantage of the faster bus speeds as they become available.ģ/1/11 Correction: The optical bus on the new MBP’s remains 3Gb/s, only the main hard drive bay was bumped to 6Gb/s. As the Data Doubler is simply an interface adapter, it will perform at the faster internal speeds as well. One change being the jump from a SATA 3Gb/s to SATA 6Gb/s bus speed. In checking over the machines, we found that Apple made several impressive firsts with these new models. Luckily no major architectural changes occurred, so the fit was perfect. Then we started testing on the Data Doubler.

After only a few short days since Apple released their new lineup of computers, the OWC Test Lab has completed our benchmarking of upgrades for the new 2011 MacBook Pro models.įirst off, considering Apple upgraded the MacBook Pro modes to use the same memory as the 2010 iMac line, we confirmed that compatible OWC memory was immediately available.
