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.

10,000 RPM hard drives have all but disappeared from consumer markets, but they still have a place in the enterprise hardware world. However, Micron intends to make those drives obsolete with their new 5210 ION QLC SSDs. The company claims the new drives have "MSRPs similar on a $/GB basis to...
