That looks a really cool & useful idea.
However, I have a reservation. Since you NEED to use it - perhaps for
space considerations? - the go for it, by all means. But if this
driver is slower at reads or writes than Windows' own NTFS driver then
it may actually slow the computer down.
In the case of a driver written by an individual, who is likely not as
familiar with Windows' APIs, or who may not be able to use the private
APIs used by Windows' own filesystem drivers, I find it quite possible
the performance may be questioned.
