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.
The intel 520s are very good. Intel doesn't inflate specs - they produce specs that match typical, real time performance. In my experience, Intel SSDs are every bit as capable for daily use as other drives.
Get an iPhone? All kidding aside, figure out why the text keeps failing. I'd start parsing logs or ask my carrier if I had texts failing to send more than very rarely.
Because there are far more elegant ways to do it. I can search just as fast on iOS as you can with a button, but a button has zero capability to be upgraded or enhanced. They made the right move.
