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.

We currently have 4 EMC CX4, and we decided to start purchasing Compellent since last summer. I currently have 1k+ spindles on Compellent.
Compellent is so much better, it's not even fair.
Their reporting is miles away from Navisphere analyzer.. and their Co-pilot support is the best...
