Reminds me of the Sandy Bridge SATA flaw.
"The problem in the chipset was traced back to a transistor in the 3Gbps PLL clocking tree. The aforementioned transistor has a very thin gate oxide, which allows you to turn it on with a very low voltage. Unfortunately in this case Intel biased the transistor with too high of a voltage, resulting in higher than expected leakage current. Depending on the physical characteristics of the transistor the leakage current here can increase over time which can ultimately result in this failure on the 3Gbps ports."

- yuhong 10y agoI wonder how many would even bother to get it replaced if it was discovered say only a year after launch.
- throwaway7767 10y agoI had one of those. The shop I bought it from refused to replace it from their inventory, all they would do is take the motherboard, send it back and then give me the replacement some weeks later when the RMA process was completed. Since I needed that machine functioning, I never replaced it (the mobo had some extra SATA ports handled by a different controller, so they kept working and I switched to using them). I suspect a lot of people are in the same boat. I'll never do business with that store again.
