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.

I don't see how anyone could trust something that stays connected to a power outlet like a raid setup to be a reliable backup. Theft is also a real concern that many people over look. I just made a similar post in the optical forum but I think discs are at least still a viable redundancy...
even if you use hdds its still good to create parity files and maybe something like beyond compare to make sure the files copied properly. I feel more comfortable knowing I can check to make sure the files are intact. Maybe zfs will help some if it ever becomes standard.
