Hello, All the way from the Netherlands I mix myself in the discussion about the "not working" Smart Backup with the SATA2 controller. I choose the GA-EP45-DS5 motherborad for its easy and Smart Backup - Plug and Play according to the Gigabyte website!! It didn't work and still doesn't, whatever I've tried. An email to Gigabyte support: No reply!! Finally I googeled and found this site with astonishing results. The SATA2 controller doesn't work at all. A hugh announcement from Gigabyte and now that this problems appear the company wraps itself in dumbness about this issue.
May be you are, on behalf of Gigabyte, able to give us an honnest answer and tell us if there will be an update for this mistake, when this particular update will be ready or do I have to return my motherboard and choose one from another compagny?

Best regards,
Alexander.
