"Nvidia Corp., a leading developer of core-logic sets and graphics
processors, said that the problem with Serial ATA controller on its
latest high-end core-logic sets is solved, however, some users are still
reporting problems with Serial ATA operation on systems running nForce
chipsets from the company."

Are there similar issues with nForce 4 and/or nForce 5? |

Don't know.

It's a very messy situation - some people with some mbrds and some HDDs
cannot make it work; others have no problems at all... with all nForce
mbrds which have SATA II. Note the large number of people running the EVGA
680i mbrd with apparent success... though I've no idea if this might be due
to the fact that EVGA has more than one source for mbrd mfr. I've no doubt
that some of it is likely incompetence and/or mismatched components.
For nForce4 there was undoubtedly a problem with Maxtor SATA II drives and
the story goes that you needed a certain level (3.AAH) of Seagate firmware
for success. Personally, with Seagate drives, I haven't seen any cases
where a system would not work though I've seen a couple of cases of Event
ID: 51 immediately following driver installation - similar things have been
reported for Intel chipset mbrds.
It would appear that the entire industry, chipset mfrs & drive mfrs, jumped
the gun on SATA II and with all the finger pointing, the root source of the
problems has not been uncovered, even now.
