Yes, I forgot about these. I actually own a copy of HDSpeedTools for MacOS 9. Thing is, I am a little anoyed about their update policy. When I bought the product it said "Free Updates for Live" just as it does now. Only HDSpeedTools for OS X are not actually the same product. So I never actually got any major product updates for free. Which sort of defeats the point of the free update policy.
It seems that you are not alone with being annoyed. Apparently, there is a difference between "updates" and "upgrades" from what I've read (updates are free, upgrades are not) Some people are understandably upset because they feel mislead. But I can't imagine a company being able to survive without repeat business in the form of paid upgrades.
I haven't used it ... one to keep an eye on, looks interesting. I'd like to see a few reviews of this thing before I parted with any cash - $90!
you can buy an operating system for that :)
Not many reviews that I can find yet aside form complaints about the business model....but I think some drive manufacturers/distributors are shipping the utility with their external drives. This may be the difference between Drive 10 and speed tools. It looks to me like Speedtools may have nice utilities for external drives (specifically Oxford drives.)

My initial hunch is that this is a good product but they will have to overcome the bitter taste they have left in some of their customer's mouths.
I guess time will tell. Thanks for your feedback!
Best,
