I know some 6 series had a sata bug, but internet opinion conflicts on whether the H61 did or didn't - someone help please ?
I ask on the intel forum but no definitive answer from them.

More specifically would a ASRock H61M-VG3 mobo have the bug ?

I cannot find the stepping number on the ASRock website, you can send them a email to ask.

So I think if I bought one on ebay, which was the plan, I wouldn't know if it was one that was never recalled ? I can imagine a lot of these going on the second hand market.

Why would someone have kept an old one when they were replaced for free? The 3 at the end of the model number indicates it has the SLJ4B B3 (revision 3) chipset.
