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.

Cheaper, faster and longer warranty. Work great in several 12-bay Synology's.
Thanks for the heads-up on this. I purchased the sub last night while it said it was backordered, but just got shipping confirmation and it now says it's in stock. I was pleased with the R253s and then very pleased with the R263s and hope I'm equally pleased with the sub.
Received my firewall. I'm pretty sure it's the cheapest-built piece of network equipment I've ever purchased. Probably has the build quality of a $10 switch, it's awful, all cheap plastic. That said only 3 months were used on the 3-year subscription so definitely can't complain about that for...
I actually expect it has been. A Fortinet I bought with a 3-year subscription had used 6 months of it's subscription so I returned it. In this case if 6 months are gone the price is still good enough that I'm not worried about it, and the return process for the Fortinet was relatively painless...
Well I ordered 2 Sennheiser bluetooth headsets and the toner kit and the boxes for all had obviously been opened but the contents appeared brand new. All accessories were unopened and as far as I can tell nothing had been used.
