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.
i just format it once, or if i am feeling lazy i just ask if they mind me seding them an unformatted drive. most of the time people like getting whatever is on my drive, mp3s, or whatever else might be there
most of the time i just formatt it once and send it on its merry way
well if you really wanna be sure, a program like gwscan canbe used to competely erase the drives (google 'gwscan') and that completely gets rid of anything that could ever be pulled off of it. other than that, they say 3 full normal formats will do the same thing, but i think its takes longer
