A few members on our local forums already spotted degraded S-ATA II ports on the P67 boards, basically you just need to run HDTune and check the "Health" tab, bad boards will fail some tests but do OK if you move the drives on the S-ATA III ports.

So there goes 5% error rate in 3 years i suppose ...
It looks like 5% error rate in 3 days.

Well, whoah , I call the HD Tune red sea a ... hmm design Flaw.
Tried it myself but so far It looks good. If it falls apart I'd have to go and grab me a Sata 6 HDD and then RMA it in April when the new revision boards are expected ... hopefully.
Intel was fairly sure 5 ~ 15% in next 3 Years huh ? But by the posts and topics around I'd it went downhill pretty fast.

I start to ask me if they have really test it, as it was a reuse of their old Sata in chipset ( no developpement cost ), it look like they have just include it...

5 to 15%!!!
Well to be honest i didnt expect ANY reports of failure in the first 30 days.
Seems like that figure was pulled out of ass.
Well ,live and learn
Nice find
Notice any grammar or spelling mistakes? Feel free to correct me! Thanks
Maybe they made 3 typos in a word "year"? Should be "day".

There's an easier way to spot one. Look at it and realize you bought it prior to the recall.
Return/ Exchange, you win.

MSI GTX 460 Twin Frozr II. 1TB Caviar Blue.
Corsair HX 620, CM 690, Win 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Our 3 in the office all fail, so my one at home will. Great!
SATA6G is downwards compatible afaik, just like SATA3G. Hence, you should be able to use your SATA3G HDDs on the SATA6G connectors.

I bet you can do that with the R3E too

Got one of my three drives on sata 2, been running dozens(bench + error) hd tune tests and check smart health constantly, nothing yet.
Btw, so far got .98v on pch stable.
Motherboard: GigaByte P67UD4 f6 | CPU: Intel 2500k 4.5ghz 1.26v | Memory: GSkill 2x4gb @ 1600mhz 1.34v | PSU: SeaSonic X650 Gold 650W | Video: AMD 6970 Koolance water block 880c/1450mem 1.035v | HDD: WD 640gb cavier black: VelociRaptor 300gb: Intel x-25 g2 80gb | Sound: Asus xonar D1 | OS: W7 64bit
Probably by only connecting 2 drives to the SATA3 ports, making sure their implementation was correct. The SATA2 ports would be less concern 'cause Intel's only used them for years and years. Regardless, it blew up in their face and they're probably fixing their test benches now.

Are we sure HD Tune is reading the SMART data correctly on SB boards? Even if there were tons of CRC errors it makes no sense for the average spin up time to be 677,248,117ms (8 days), or the drive to have power cycled 600 thousand times.

Yeah, Intel should hire those Romanian guys in the OP to test their stuff.
Yeah, if normal end users run into this issue with pretty much new boards this brings up more questions over internal quality control... degrading means it works at first and passes qc and then fails... this looks like Intel didn't do proper qc on their chipsets... actually it looks like they don't do a full qc at all for their chipsets... either that or their qc tests are flawed...
Thanks for the headsup micutzu!

Hmm, actually that SMART data seems totally erratical rather than providing a SMART failure status..
