Would you feel safe RMAing a hard drive with Private Old Restricted Network files on it? It was an external drive that quit. (I think it was trying to use more power than the adapter could provide, Windows would not boot unless I unplugged the external drive. After that I could plug it back in. Then it got worse.) I took it out of the box and mounted it inside the computer. I'm trying to delete everything and even reformat, but there are thousands of bad sectors and it keeps making Win7 hang up. "Windows has detected a hard disk problem" keeps popping up. May try Darik's Boot and Nuke next. I'd just drill holes in it and through it out, but its 2T of WD Black goodness.

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.
