Intel has discovered an issue in current H67 and P67 chipsets, and early adopters (aka suckers) get to play the product recall game.
Apparently the bug reduces performance (causes amount of errors to increase) on 3Gbps SATA ports on the chipset over time.

Intel expects to lose a total of $1 billion with product recalls and lost sales.

Quote: Intel just announced that it has identified a bug in the 6-series chipset, specifically in its SATA controller. Intel states that "In some cases, the Serial-ATA (SATA) ports within the chipsets may degrade over time, potentially impacting the performance or functionality of SATA-linked devices such as hard disk drives and DVD-drives.".

The fix requires new hardware, which means you will have to exchange your motherboard for a new one. Intel hasn't posted any instructions on how the recall will be handled other than to contact Intel via its support page or contact the manufacturer of your hardware directly. In speaking with motherboard manufacturers it seems they are as surprised by this as I am.

Intel will begin shipping the fixed version of the chipset in late February.  The recall will reduce Intel's revenue by around $300 million and cost around $700 million to completely repair and replace affected systems.
