    When I have 2 devices attached to the USB 3.0 ports and begin any large transfers, the drives will intermittently disappear, cancelling my transfers. When I only have 1 attached there is no problem. Is this an inherit problem with USB 3.0, the NP8170 or is this an issue with my motherboard?

    I have installed the latest USB 3.0 drivers from Sager's website but still have the same issue. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

    What are your USB 3.0 devices? Some owners have reported that a few Jmicron based USB 3.0 drives had issues until the new drivers/firmware were installed.
