• 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.

Rule #1: Have a backup plan.

See this overview for an excellent description of effective backup plans.

Rule #2: RAID is not a backup plan.

When used correctly, RAID may allow your system to do one or more of three things: increase resiliency (continue running if a hard drive fails); improve performance; increase capacity. Increased resiliency is not a backup plan, because hard drive failure is just one of many bad things that can happen to your data.

Rule #3: RAID arrays need a backup plan.

I would be grateful for suggestions for correction or expansion of this mini-FAQ.
