Now I am beginning to wonder if Evga knew this all along and is the reason for not releasing any of their motherboards for this platform.

I doubt it, I mean, looking at anandtech, intel say failure rate is 5-15% over 3 years.
So it can't be that bad.
And I don' see how they could have known?

Might have failed an internal qual. You would be surprised the kind of stuff that gets found after release to customer.

Looks like some problem with the SATA controller...

Interesting..

All I can tell you is I have lost every ssd/hdd install I have prepared for this mb...I have never had that kind of luck with any other platform and I used to swap drives between platforms with no problems.

So I guess it is up to us to contact Asus and get another mb?

recall only affects "some desktop boards based on Intel P67 chipset,"

Waiting on comprehensive list...............

So far I haven't found any sata problems or lost any OSes with my UD5 so I'm crossing my fingers. Seems like my board is doing fine, except for the memory (hypers) compatibility issues which may or may not eventually be fixed via bios update. Think its time to invest in some Gskills.
