Intel states that "In some cases, the Serial-ATA (SATA) ports within the chipsets may degrade over time, potentially impacting the performance or functionality of SATA-linked devices such as hard disk drives and DVD-drives.". The Fix The SATA bug exists in hardware and there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutshot Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Almost built a new rig with this new platform. Glad I decided to stick with my old i7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a show stopper bug if you only have two SATA devices. I have 2 HDD's that I run on the SATA3 ports and one DVD drive. MSi allows for Advanced RMA in which they send you a replacements first if you have a credit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
