• 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.

Which is better

I have a SATA controller on my motherboard. is there any performance gain by using a SATA hard drive, or should i just use a EIDE hard drive.
 
The performance deltas are nonexistant, really. You get a thinner cable that can fall out and drives that are physically not any faster than their PATA counterparts (actually, most still use onboard converter chips). Don't forget about potential driver drama, either.
 
It's a shame your not using an Intel chipset board, because they don't need special drivers unless your running a RAID array. The performance isn't a factor, but if you have an SATA drive, it's great to use because it frees up one more PATA slot.
