1. Vertex 2 (with latest FW update) will not work on the X79 SATAIII port (crashes on crystaldiskmark and HDTunePro error scan and generally any intensive disk activity like windows update) displaying a F4 BSOD.
I found a workaround by using the Intel SATAII port instead. %100 stable after doing that no matter how much disk activity there is.
2. The USB3 transfer rate is half what it should be. I have a LianLi EX-503 with a WD Green SATAIII drives installed in it and USB3 cable, and on a separate USB3 controller card, was getting transfer rates of around 70/80MBs copying files in explorer.
Its now transferring at 40MB/sec (copying 446GB / 2hrs) using the motherboards USB3 ports.
3. Bios P2.30 likes to make USB drives the primary boot device automatically, so if you install a new usb external device, reset the computer, it will try to boot the usb device and fail. you then have to go into bios and remove the usb device manually from boot priority, and the machine will turn off and on again after changing this setting alone, which is rather silly and unnecessary.
