It seems that there are some issues with the SATA ports on the new 6 series chipset based motherboards not holding up over time.
We have been waiting for the new Intel DQ67xx Executive Series Micro-ATX and Mini-ATX boards for a while now. We had hoped to see the boards by the end of this month. It looks as though we will be waiting just a bit longer for them.
Now that this problem has been discovered, board makers that have a 6 Series chipset board on the market are going to have a serious problem on their hands if their production volume was ramped up and product has been sold.
Intel has a support page here:
For other manufacturer’s products that use the 6 Series chipset, we will need to check their support site to see what sort of remedies they will have for us.

You can still use these motherboards and CPUs if you don't need to be using SATA II. The SATA III Chips are thrid party and still work.
