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.
could some one tell me what i can use to tell me if my drives are actually running at sata 300, and not 150? i am not sure, but i have a sneaky feeling that they are not running at spec
You are unable to fill the bus of a SATA I, so SATA II is not too much of a benefit (except for burst speeds). HDTach I believe shows what kind of drives you have. From there you can look at the spec of the drives online.
