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.
I was just considering a new SSD on a budget, when I saw ARC-100 240Gb on newegg for 89$ which looks like a fantastic deal.
On the other hand I have the Crucial 256Gb MX100 for 109$ which is also one of my favorites.
Is it really worth the 20$ difference?
True! Specially after the issues with old file performance on some of their drives.
MX100 or ARC100 are pretty good deals, good price and very reliable.
I'm using Z97 Extreme6 atm , Love the colors, going for a black and blue theme just looks awesome, and it has lots of I/O. Supports SLI and Crossfire . It's rock stable. The BIOS/UEFI is easy to navigate, and for the most part pretty intuitive.
Their X99 Xtreme4 looks very good for the price tag.
You could check Asus, but I would stay away from MSI. Never had good experience with them :confused:

You can find here a comparision, from MX100 and ARC 100. ARC comes ahead when it comes to writing data, and its cheaper...
A very good value SSD. Honestly 9/10 you don't need 550MB/s read and write. This OCZ ARC is not designed to compete in the super high end but in the value segment, and it had great performance and an affordable price tag to go along with it.
