I would like any and all to post here if you have experienced hdd/ssd failures or corruption from the Intel chipset saga.

I will begin with mine. I have lost 8 installs total before swapping over to the 6 Gb/s ports...none thereafter so far. Feel free to link to other forums posts as well about the subject. While we are here also include your experiences trying to install XP with this platform.

No RMA available I bet, the B3 stepping PCH is not going to be available very soon. April is expected delivery date. I think.


I have not killed anything, but I am not running SSDs on it either because I could not get Gparted to run on a USB stick on SB. I did eventually added my last functional optical drive to the PC later and gparted ran fine from that... memtest and such still crash though.

I got a little data corruption when mem tweaking , but that is expected. Returned to low OC, fixed it and back about my business easy peasy.


So... no.

XP (well FLP) installed fine from optical in IDE mode. Did the driver install/reg tweak rebooted into RAID mode and away I went.

But then again I had my SSD and Backup HDD in Sata port 0/1 since day 1.

WTF is up with SB + ASUS?

OR is there something else causing all these dead ssd/hdd issue in your hands?
