Am I too pessimistic about this? Today it can detect ransomware, the next day could be malware, and the day after can be any file.

It’s just a data filter that’s build in to a hardware and possibly no way to trun off. Last thing I want is a black box watching what I stored on my drive.

    This doesn’t sound any different than what most host based AV already do. The novel idea is implementing it in on the storage array directly in a way that doesn’t hose performance. That means instead of needing 100% coverage of all clients to detect/ prevent ransomware encrypting your network storage, the storage array can detect it and presumably reject the compromised client.
