6 Series SATA Check utility

Just been having a browse and spotted this. Hope it’s of help to those affected.

Gigabyte have released a 6 Series SATA Check utility to help optimize performance of P67 & H67 motherboards. Apparently it can tell you if you have an affected board no matter what the brand

All it does is tell someone not in the know if they have their drives connected to the sata 2 ports (which are the faulty ones). Good for someone who doesn't know the difference I suppose.

Don't shoot the messenger, I just thought it may help someone.
Gigabyte say:
"GIGABYTE 6 Series SATA Check that tells you if the SATA ports that you are using are in fact the affected Intel PCH SATA 2.0 ports. It also recommends that you change your SATA devices to the white SATA 3.0 ports. The utility is a simple program that will work on any 6 series chipset based mobo, and has 3 possible scenarios that offer different advice for users to configure their SATA devices".
