Intel restart deliveries of some systems Sandy Bridge

Not all the donuts come out with a hole, it is true, but this is an assumption that could also be seen on the contrary, Intel, which has not been made to make sweet, thought to look in the basket system Sandy Bridge after discovering the flaw Serial ATA controller, and non-affected fish. This means that from next February 15 of the sales will be restored.

In essence, since the bug is related only to three SATA ports, along with OEM partners, Intel has also decided to use the faulty chip, and systems based on them for selling them. For notebooks will be required that the disks and optical drives are connected to the two SATA ports that work perfectly 6Gbps.

Same thing for desktop systems with the addition of so much information to the user who purchases the product. For retail motherboards, however, it seems that the sales will still remain on standby, waiting for the new B3 revision of the chipset. The bug discovered by Intel 6 Series chipsets, as repeatedly pointed out, affects only the SATA 3Gbps ports, so if you have a motherboard for Sandy Bridge, you can avoid connecting SATA drives to 6Gbps pending replacement (now all partners Intel has disclosed how and when to handle this issue).

You should also consider that the bug is manifested by a degradation of performance that then lead to non-recognition of the disk connected to the motherboard, but without causing damage to data.
