• 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.

So for most magnetic hard disks, 1 Gbps would be faster than writing to the disk...as for solid state drives, you would need something a bit faster than 1 Gbps (assuming there are no other...

    Will my 802.11n router handle an upcoming event at my house?

    New build not POSTing

    Just assembled a new build today, but I tried to start it up and it is not POSTing and we're not getting video. The case lights and fans all turn on. There is a potential for it being damaged statically because some idiot friends of mine could not keep their hands off the hardware. Any...
