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.
WD2500KS or Maxtor

I grabbed a 300GB 16MB Maxtor drive (haven't ratcheted up the Gig-O-Meter to reflect it yet 
) when Fry's/Outpost had them on sale for $90. My WD2500KS has made me extremely sensitive to storage performance, and although the Maxtor drive comes close, my KS feels a little snappier. This is borne out by SR's testing.
The Maxtor drive will cost a little less (you can get the same 250GB w/ a five year warranty for about $5 less than the WD2500KS w/ a three year warranty on ZZF) but I'll take the performance and gamble that mechanical drives will be obsolete when the warranty on my WD2500KS expires
