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.
If you're really that upset about it, why don't we design a better forum for n00bies to get involved instead of being unnecessarily snarky? Hell I'll even do the first post: "So you thought that using the raid on your motherboard was actually a real RAID"
Here's two questions I'm almost...
So had I used mdadm do you think it would have just ignored the read errors? or would it have shutdown/alerted me of the problematic hard drive sooner?
I guess I don't understand how mdadm would have helped, as the smart data for the harddrive was "passing" the entire time.... [still is lol]
