Seems like a pretty good thing to me, despite the latency degradation.
As far as I am aware ransomware protection available to a individual consumer basically asks you to specify critical folders, after which it basically stops any modification to them.
If there is a software which is relatively inexpensive (<50$), simple and unobstrusive, I would LOVE to know about it.

Awesome concept and I think a good compromise (from the performance hit). But only so long as the controller resets itself, which I imagine it would, during a reformat to get that performance back.
