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.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Hmm that's definitely another option I should consider. However, would there be a performance penalty because all 24 drives are actually connected to 8 SAS ports through the expander?
I'm getting a X8SI6-F and a Norco 4224 for a ZFS box. I tried to order the Chenbro CK23601 but it's taking forever to ship, so I'm now looking at a 9201-16i instead. Would this be a better option anyway, since it will have 24 real ports instead of cramming everything through 8 ports via expander?
Same situation here, I ordered at the beginning of August and the ETA has been pushed back three times, now 12th September. And I have a feeling it's going to be pushed back again :(
