Gigabyte: tool to check SATA ports with Intel P67/H67 bug

Gigabyte has recently made available a new utility that allows all users of motherboards for processors Sandy Bridge, even from other manufacturers, to easily identify potentially affected by the doors of known bugs chipset P67 and H67. The 6 Series SATA Express software actually does is check what connections are currently connected hard drives in the system and advise on the links to move to 6Gbps, immune to the bug.

Does not have any control over the actual presence of problems, let alone solve them if they are present. The bug chipset Sandy Bridge is presented as a problem of excessive voltage present in a MOSFET that controls the operation of the section of the SATA 3Gbps, though not all connectors are affected.

Those SATA 6Gbps are completely immune. At the time are still very few problematic cases discovered, so that all motherboards in our possession still do not show any problems.
