I have not read a lot on this topic, but I think that I read(about a month ago?) that those SATA buses on Sandybridge controllers could fail in about 1-2 years. I assume that was the case when using a hard drive (lots of read-write). Maybe Apple expects that the Optical drive is not used that much, and the SATA bus should last much longer?
Still, if there were 2 good SATA III buses, why didn't Apple use both of them?
