00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:07.680
so as some of you may have heard there's been lots of hubub all over the

00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:12.160
internets about this but Intel's Sandy

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:15.680
bridge chipsets that is the p67 and h67

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:19.680
chipsets are affected by a bit of an

00:00:15.680 --> 00:00:22.480
issue that can cause the SATA 2 3 gbit

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:30.439
pers second ports on your motherboard to degrade slowly over time and then die

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:32.439
okay so basically right now is if you

00:00:30.439 --> 00:00:36.000
look around on the major etail sites you probably can't buy a Sandy Bridge board

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:39.640
looks like it's probably going to be around the April May time frame before

00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:44.840
you can actually buy a Sandy Bridge board but I'm going to show you guys if

00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:51.199
you already have a system based on p67 or h67 chipsets how you can prevent this

00:00:48.559 --> 00:00:55.280
issue from affecting you in the near term while you wait for the replacement

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:59.359
boards to come on the market and for yours to be swapped for one okay so you

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:03.600
can see right here the way I have my Sandy Bridge system set up is that I

00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:11.000
have my two SATA 2 devices that is my DVD burner as well as my Intel x25 M SSD

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:18.080
plugged into these two ports so you can see right here that these are SATA 3g5

00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:19.920
SATA 3 G6 SATA 3 G3 and SATA 3 G4 so

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:24.920
what I'm going to do and you're going to need to consult the manual of your

00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:28.040
particular motherboard find the section

00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:30.040
about the internal IO connectors and

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:34.479
which ones are which in this case they are labeled on the board and you are

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:42.320
going to want to take those ports unplug them from any devices and plug them into

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:44.799
one of the SATA 3 6 gbit pers second

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:48.840
ports on your board so in this case these two are running off the Intel

00:01:46.360 --> 00:01:52.320
chipset and those are still okay even though they're running off the same

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:56.840
chipset as the SATA 23 gbit per second ports and I could also plug them into

00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:02.560
these ones which are running off of a third party chipset so any one of these

00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:06.200
four port is fine to run my devices off

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:09.440
of in the meantime now bear in mind that

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:12.280
Intel recommends or Intel advises that

00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:19.319
the SATA 2 3 gbit per second ports are more likely to die from heavy use so by

00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:22.519
avoiding using those ports or let's say for example you have a three Drive

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:27.760
configuration you have an SSD a hard drive and you have an optical drive and

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:33.360
you only have two SATA 3 6 GB per second ports well Intel recommends you lightly

00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.360
use the SATA 2 ports if you have to so

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:38.360
you take your SSD and your hard drive and you plug them into these ones so you

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:43.800
don't get any data corruption or potentially even data loss by using the

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:48.440
good say the 3 6 gbit per second ports and then you take your optical drive

00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:51.120
which unless you're burning a DVD which

00:02:48.440 --> 00:02:56.800
probably is a very lowrisk sort of thing if something goes wrong so you take any

00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:00.920
sort of non-critical devices and plug those into the SATA 2 3 gbit per second

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:06.920
ports so thank you for checking out my video today on lineus Tech tips and
