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.
Hi10p will never be hardware accelerated. It missed the boat when it comes to industry support. It is too niche and will soon be replaced by H.265 (HEVC, High Efficiency Video Coding) which DOES have industry support.

As I read on another forum when I searched for a similar question: Use it and abuse it.
If it's a modern drive then it can last for a few years worth of writing, and at that point you can buy a huge new SSD for cheap. Just backup anything of importance from the SSD to somewhere safe.
