    Btw, no sata issues here with a 74,150 raptor, and a 250 gig wd sata hd..
    I ended up putting a Thermaltake Spirit Extreme chipset cooler on my nb and it did seem to improve the performance. Couldn't do 1.70 before, now I can.

    BIOS 0402 is out.

    Users have reported that HD problems are fixed now.

    Thanks for the headsup scaramonga.

    I'm running 0402 now and so far it seems fine, no major differences in the BIOS that I can see, but I didn't have SATA issues with the old BIOS anyway.
