So this company makes the drives and protects them. Wow! I'd buy their products, but I'm not sure how reliable their drives are. I also think that eventually the protected drive would have been damaged as evidenced by the scorch marks surrounding the drive. Now if the drive were to withstand a thermonuclear explosion then I'm convinced. Although if that were to happen I probably won't be around to use my protected data.

The company has to provide another product or service to make this worthwhile. Otherwise, they are destined to fail.

Yea, but I still can't get my wife to back up her data....
