    Wrong! All SATA-II ports are effected.

      This is not what I have read http://www.asrock.com/news/events/201102ex/index.html I thought the "issue" only affects the SATA II (3 gbps) ports. Can you post something to back that up? I'm not tryingto be being snippy, I am just curious

        Well, if you can believe Intel ( ) 0,1 are fine, 2-5 are affected.

          While Intel will bear the brunt of the damage from the SATA-port defect the company has detected in its new Sandy Bridge chipsets, other companies building products around the parts are having to perform damage control as well.Several PC manufacturers and component companies have already responded to the news of the defective parts.

            0,1 are SATA III.

                  I think that Intel will take the Bil' out of petty cash.

                    Or out of the 43 billion in revenue from last year. Maybe they can tell Nvidia that the "check is in the mail" for their cross-licensing payments. Although Nvidia HQ is literally 5 blocks away so maybe that won't fly.

                      Wow, now I'm even happier that I took the cheapskate solution this weekend. My motherboard died, and I was torn between upgrading to a newer MB/processor or just replacing the existing one... Ended up just buying a replacement.

                        considering their employee redeployment, rehire and internal transfer politics policies, I'm not surprised...
