Well, whenever I buy anything like this, I look at the critical reviews, 
just to get a feel for "What's the worst that can happen?", the answer 
to which in this case seems to be, "You lose all your data!".  First, I 
went to look at the critical reviews on the link you gave at the start 
of this thread, but amazon.es wanted me to sign in  -  sign in, just to 
read reviews???  -  and I don't have an account with them, only 
amazon.co.uk, so I looked up the critical reviews there instead.  There 
are quite a few, enough to  deter me from buying, so maybe return it and 
try a different make and model with, hopefully, better firmware?
