Basically some recalls and some issues. Sadly degrades over time as well. Might be awhile to really see the impact.
From Tom's
Hot on the heels of Intel's recall of its series-6 chipset known to everyone as "Sandy Bridge," we spoke to several motherboard and system manufacturers about what's going to happen for them, and their customers.
The error lies in Sandy Bridge's SATA controller, which at this time, is identified to degrade performance over time. But, what does this mean for motherboard and system manufacturers:
According to several major manufacturers that we spoke to, customers are calling asking to return stock. Since mass quantities of boards and systems have already been sold into the channel, systems builders are still waiting for official word from Intel on what to do. Surprisingly, top management at companies like Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, etc., did not even hear about this issue until this morning -- when everyone else found out.
