Who is interested in a fix for "Marvell" 6G SATA

[xpabl0b]

Hi

If you have a Z68 board then you are not affected by this Marvell problem as you already have the updated 9182 chip installed.

The Marvell problem has nothing to do with the Sandy Bridge issue. It was all to do with the Marvell 9128 that was fitted to the X58 and P55 series boards.

Is this correct? I am about to buy a Z68X-UD7 and the in the specifications for this board on Gigabyte's website "2 x Marvell 88SE9128 chips" are listed.

 Check with DM but as far as I'm aware the Z68 board is shipping with the newer 88SE9182 chip ....not the 88SE9128 which has proven to have had issues performing as advertised

I have just replied to xpabl0b 's PM as so:

Hi

What I posted was correct as far as my experience with the Z68X range of motherboards went. However after you querying it I checked on some other boards in the range and it would seem that they have used more than one Marvell chip across the boards.

Some boards do utilise the 9128 chip but I would still think that it would work alright now as Gigabyte would hardly make the same mistake again on motherboards a couple of generations further on.
