Fair use rationale for Image:Silicon image logo.jpg

Image:Silicon image logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The disparaging comments about the 3112 are not supported by the citation given. The citation is to a email archive of a user group. Several posts indicated that they had trouble, but:

The problems occurred with certain combinations of mother boards, disk drives, controller (3112), and software
There was no evidence presented to determine which component or components caused the problem
Several of the postings indicated that the problems they had were due to obsolete BIOS software or were the fault of the motherboard
Most importantly for this article, there was no evidence given that indicated that the 3112 itself was at fault

Signal crostalk problems or power and ground plane issues in a motherboard design can cause errors even when the chips are not malfunctioning. ^[1] ^[2] In addition, many problems in systems have been traced to poor SATA cables. ^[3] I believe that the section in question should be removed.
