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.
There is no primary and secondary channel with SATA, each device needs a seperate cable and SATA port.
With IDE, you should always seperate the hard drives and the optical drives for best performance. You should also be using an 80 pin cable for the hard drives.
