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.

What main benefit can I draw from IPMI?
Could you give some SATA...
Hi,
thank you for your replies! I called a computer service and they told me that normally the controllers on the mainboard and an external SATA card should be kind of similar. However this doesn*t explain the performance difference :/
I would not like to buy a ready made servers because they...
Hi,
thank you so much TeeJayHoward for your detailed answers! They helped me a lot.
I now checked again the components and your recommendations and found a board from my previous research that goes in the direction:
It's the "overkill" Supermicro Mainboard X9DRH-7TF Single. But the problem is...
Hi storage enthusiasts :)
I'm a new member here but read the forums a lot without registering ;)
I would like - for home use - to make a Storage that provides enough space, can provide some services and some kind of data security.
