I just had a similar experience with my Macbook Pro (Mid-2009): The SATA controller supports SATA II. But if you use any SATA II drive with that model, you get occasional freezes in the best case, and the machine doesn't boot in the worst. The problem is apparently an improperly shielded SATA cable, but Apple doesn't care because: They never supplied any SATA II drives for that device.
