That is the reason why vendors are being prompt and responsive about the flaw.

It should also be noted: The flaw only affects onboard Serial-ATA ports 2-5 in the chipset. Anyone using a desktop or laptop which was designed to use only SATA ports 0 and/or 1 are completely unaffected and do not have to worry about replacement/refund. (This is especially true for notebooks, which already have limited space and typically only use 2 SATA ports, one for HDD and one for ODD.)
