• 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.

The first time has an 8mb cache, which is important, but the second drive has a faster interface. The 8mb cache means it can read and write data in larger groups, but the faster interface of the other drive means it can move data faster. Overall I think the 8mb drive would give you faster performance, but I'm really not [H]ard-qualified to say.
