• 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.

    Are all DVD writers the same these days?

    No. The best, as I understand it, are those that can do 1:1 writes and have a firmware version that doesn't limit the hardware. Apparently, some writers are designed without limitations, and that enables things like playing movies with any region and even making backups of your movies so you can...

How in the world does somebody tell you, "It's taking 24 hours to copy-paste everything," and then you think, "Hmmm, well then making an ISO of it should only take you about an hour." How the hockey does something like this make sense to you?!?! Holy mother...

    Is it normal for 100GB M-Discs to take 6x longer to read from than to write to?

    You might just be right. After reading your comment, I paid more attention to the copy-paste progress window, and I've since written a couple different sets of data to another two of the 100GB M-Discs that I had purchased. The progress window seems to show the slowest, Byte-level, transfer...
