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.
Thanks!

Just to add, by this formula there is 64% chance that my disk will survive 100 years, and 80% chance that it will survive 50 years. Quite long, perhaps that is the reason why it cost so much.
Seagate say that HDD have MTBF of 2M hours. By math, 2M h = cca. 228 years. Does this mean that drive will last 228 years working 0-24h?
Seagate also say that HDD have AFR of 0.44%. So, if I get this right, for first year is 0.44%, for second 0.88% and so on. By this "half-life" of HDD when...
