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.
depends where you use it - some are aluminum directly touching your hard drive casing - great heat dissipations. others have no fans and totally enclose it - you'll burn it out pretty fast if it's not properly standing.
I use these, too. There's one in my toolbox for whenever I upgrade my laptop. I use one to siphon the old data off, then wipe the drive before putting it back into the laptop and selling it.
They're not too fast; ATA-66 at best. I don't think it's good to use one permanently, but they're great for cleaning up and fixing.
