HELP, I have a FORTNET FG-80F, I've heard that if I use the SFP ports I disable the RJ45 ports, is that true? Can someone help?

Please check the datasheet of 80F, You have 2 set of shared media ports (SFP1 - WAN1 & SFP2 -WAN2) which can be used either as copper or Fiber (SFP). In addition to this you have additional 6 x GE RJ45* Ports and  2 x GE RJ45* FortiLink Ports.

So far, I've analyzed everything and I'm replacing a firewall I have with it, and someone made this comment to me. I haven't acquired it yet and wanted to know if anyone who has this model can validate this.

As @saneeshpv_FTNT already pointed - this does not disable anything, you have  2 SFP/Copper ports (Wan1 & Wan2) which either accept SFP or Copper connection. So, you cannot use them with Copper and SFP connector at the same time - this would give you 4 Wan ports, not the 2 announced. The moment you use say Copper connector on Wan1 port, you cannot also use this very Wan1 on its SFP slot simultaneously .
