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.
New Samsung Drives

NF4 supports SATA-II, as an example. The bandwidth can be used, for burst transfer. But the 3.0 gbps (300MB/sec) of SATA-II is not going to be fully realized by any foreseeable mechanical hard drive for a long time time to come. Not even the mighty Maxtor Atlas 15KII can break 100 MB/sec sustained transfer in its outermost zones, and that is in a synthentic sustained transfer test not likely to be achieved under any normal use. However, don't forget that SATA port multipliers are being developed - Via's new chipsets support them - allowing you to connect many (I'm wanting to say 7-8) drives to one SATA port. Then you could use that 300MB/sec 
Rock on Samsung! The somewhat small flagship drive of 160GB was one of the knocks I had on them in my Buyer's Guide. Hopefully, Samsung will maintain their quiet operation and competitive pricing with these larger drives. Needless to say, these drives may be just the ticket for many HTPC users out there. As soon as I can get some real world data on these units and presuming that they hold up the high standard set by their predecessors, I'll add them to my guide.
