Every now and then it pops up and when people ask "Did you really have such a problem?" or in other ways ask for information or confirmation, then deadly silence follows. Data corruption is no joke. If you say that some product corrupts your data, then, I think, you should back up that statement or not make it. I'm afraid that "Under certain circumstances" is a little too thin to ruin a companies reputation. I have been using the version of SuperStor included with DR DOS for some 9 months without any problem, and yes I have totally filled up my SSTORed partition many times (if that is what you mean by "Under certain circumstances").
