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.
I got the same mobo, tried my luck got the U3S6 card/6gb/sec 1TB WD hdd
Latest drivers installed flawlessly
And the onboard sata works , I used "Acronis Disk Director" successfully to create the volume
Gotta love ASUS!:)
