It has been reported ^{1) 2) 3)} that the two USB 3.0 ports on the left appear to suffer from read and write errors when USB to SATA adapters are being used on any supported coreboot version with a SeaBIOS payload.

USB 3.0 sticks work fine and the USB 2.0 port on the right does not have this problem.

This may be isolated to the SeaBIOS payload.

This is being investigated; we'll update this article once we know more.
