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.
So i am slightly confused about this controller capabilities...
I took a look at the datasheet and it states:
Serial ATA 6Gb/s (Direct Attach Only)
a little further down:
Direct Attach No, Expander onboard (for this particular model with 16+8 ports)
So is the direct attach "no" referring to the fact that the drives are not attached directly but through an expander - and can i daisy chain expanders?
Or - does that mean that i cant attach SATA drives to this conrtoller ?
