so for people who bought a laptop with this processor, what does this mean?

have to return n wait for them to fix it?

are SATA ports 2~5 being used in Acer 5750G laptop?

it seems if it is just using ports 0 and 1, then it should be fine.

"Q: I have a 6-series chipset in my system or notebook, is it safe to use?

A: Intel and numerous OEMs say that since the problem should occur over several years and only to a fairly small percentage of systems and notebooks, the risk of data loss is nil. If a port goes bad, you just move it to a port that works and the data will be there, Intel says."

hopefully Acer gives out extended warranty

how do I check if the laptop is using port 0 and 1 only?

port 2 in on ATAPI device (DVD drive)

at least hard disk is on port 0.. so not affected

so one day my dvd drive will stop working..
