Not an issue for me, as I don't need to use more than 1 USB 2.0 device at a time, but be warned if you've got multiple USB 2.0 devices that you want to hook up at the same time: It won't work!
It's actually a problem with Sandra, not with the Z71v. It's cleared up now.

Can you take some screen shots of Sandra for us? I wanna see this for myself (it just sounds so unbelievable )

*EDIT*
Rick is the man:
ISTNC: I dont have one to test with, but I will forwarn an email to my crew telling them I want it tested
ISTNC: I am in Houston right now
ISTNC: I have ASUS in IM's right now
Bahama.Llama: really?
ISTNC: ASUS is claiming that they are all 2.0
ISTNC: yesh, my rep
ISTNC: I have never tested this
ISTNC: never felt a reason to

No no... im glad you brought it up. It’s false advertising on ASUS's part. Either that diag. software is dead wrong, you have the wrong mobo, or ASUS officially is downgraded BIGTIME in my book... I mean… USB 1.1 is outdated by… HOW many years?
