• 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.

    ZFS cifs share accessible to Windows and other OS

    I initially had an issue where Windows tried to authenticate to share with local account only and refuse to accept any other type of login…then I removed all id mapping in OMNIOS and I cleared cached logins in Windows. In the end this is the setup that did what I wanted: Join workgroup...

    Thumb drive longevity reviews?

    Unless your going for a ssd type usb flash drive I would group the reliability of all the rest pretty much the same. No manufacturer would give any such info unless its based on ssd tech. In fact many usb flash drives don't even come with performance specs. Most of the usb flash drives I have...

    good idea to disable windows features on ssd?

    My logic is this. You bought a SSD to take advantage of it. Moving temp to slower medium defeats some of the usefulness of a fast SSD. The life savings will be insignificant...but you can always overprovision if that is really a concern. Now that said if your using your SSD for heavy writing...
