I have the Version 2 board and I can confirm it carries the 9128 Marvell controller chip......they do work, at SATA II speeds ..... the Intel ICH10R ports work a little better but there's not much in it!........The Marvell ports with this chip just never delivered the 6Gb/s speeds that were advertised.
Boards shipping now , no longer have this problem.....I have read reports that although the current shipping chip is now stamped 9182 and IS the new 88SE9182 Marvell Controller Chip, ... there are some reports that some new boards still have the 88SE9128 chip but none of the old problems......
What I want to know is how did who ever effect the fix.................Was it a bios fix, or is there a secret version II of the 9128 chip floating around, if there is, ...I WANT ONE!
