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.

On my previous motherboard I only had 2 SATA connections..I used an IDE drive for storage and My SATA drives for os and games...
I now have a board with 6 SATA connections, so I have only SATA drives.....

I still got a bunch of pata drives. Couple 80gb, a 200gb, and a 300gb i just picked up for 97 shipped after MIR. Going to be building a file server with PATA drives till i expand it, because I have a P3 box with 4 IDE channels on the motherboard.

SATA is often cheaper then PATA these days
there is next to no or very very little differnce in IDE vs SATA interface simply because Harddrives can not fill 150mb or even 100m at that from IDE.
