Intel Identifies Chipset Design Error, cost of repair and replace will be $700M
- yread 16y agoSee also http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/01/31/intel.cougar.point.desktop.chipset.has.sata.bug/ http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/01/31/intel.cougar.p... apparently it's only the desktop chipset. Still, it's not entirely clear what does the bug actually cause-will there be errors on the disks? Or just slow down? Or will it outright kill the SATA device under certain conditions?
- markkanof 16y agoSounds like it could cause slowdown and eventual inability to communicate with the drive, but would not damage the drive or cause data loss. http://www.pcper.com/comments.php?nid=9689 http://www.pcper.com/comments.php?nid=9689
