If you value your data - stay away from the Perstor products - 
a better investment would be another drive.

not only that - but the data transfer rate is not as fast as with
a good 1:1 RLL controller - which is at least approved by the folks
who make the drives (Seagate, Maxtor - none of the companies who
make drives support the use of the Perstor controllers)..
