Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
My name is <random westernized name> and it's my pleasure to help you with your problem.
Hello,
I’m sorry for your inconvenience caused.
For this case is happened by Intel chipset design problem, and ASUS will take responsibility to help you solve your problem, please don’t worry.
We suggest you could use the 0/1 port of SATA3 at first and we’ll swap the latest design unit for you on April, the warranty also will re-calculate when you receive it!
But if you have some difficulties for this option, you could contact the store where you purchased, and they will also help you for this problem.
Sounds like I'll just wait until April and get a replacement then.
