• 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.

Building my 1st PC

Safest route would probably be to find a board that supports both RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 0+1 for the future.
RAID 1 is when both drives act as one both mirror each other ie: the same file is saved to both drives just in case one fails. But that means that instead of 240gigs you have 120gig, I also think that it might be slower too. RAID 0+1 has features of both without some of the drawbacks, I don't know too much about RAID 0+1 so maybe some one else could fill in the holes?
But it just means that your going to have to take a pro-active response to backups. As for getting a Zip, I say forget it and get a DVD+/-RW instead. Many good ones can be had for around $99-150 USD mark, although the $99 ones tend to come with lowend burning software while the $150 area ones come with a full copy of Nero or similar program.
 
Yeah, or you could just get a program like norton ghost and ghost your drive every once and awhile, much easier than backing up to zips or other form of storage.
