CES 2009 starts out mysteriously. After I arrive in Vegas, a strange man calls me, and tells me to meet him outside my hotel. He has a limo waiting. I get inside, and the driver sets off on a route that takes us well off the Las Vegas strip, past all the glitzy hotels, ending up about four miles away from my hotel. On the way, the man snaps photographs of me and the fellow passengers. I began to wonder if we'd be held for ransom...

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. This product makes little sense for the average consumer. The high cost would deter the average consumer during these harsh economic times. The company has to provide another product or service to make this worthwhile. Otherwise, they are destined to fail.
