Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

I just picked-up 4 WD20EADS with a manufacture date of January 2010. All the drives are running 01.00A01. Full model number: WDC WD20EADS-00R6B0. None of the drives would take the RE4 firmware. I was able to successfully enable TLER and disable head parking on all of the drives.
Does anyone...
I am about to start building my RAID array and I was debating between the WD20EADS and WD2002FYPS. The RE drives are significantly more expensive, and I would much rather save some money and go with desktop edition drives. After reading this entire thread I have two questions:
