Well, I don't know about their smaller drives.  I have one
of their larger ones... no problems so far with the drive
(it's a CDC Wren).  Their formatting software is rather
better than apple's.  It can handle multiple mac partitions
as well as AUX.  Additionally, they provide a localtalk disk
sharing system, somewhat similar to tops.  They promise that
some day they will have printer sharing software out
(free to drive purchasers).  Still waiting for it.  My only 
complaint was that they changed to a different brand of
drive just after I purchased mine -- now they offer a 5
year warrenty (I have only a 2 year warrenty).
