I need some help in answering a question about the RLL controllers !!

I recently added a harddisk to a PC 8000 clone by Franklin. I was given
a 10MB ST412 full height Seagate drive but the controller card was bad.

One of the guys I work with had an Everex 392 RLL controller which 	
works just super and gives me a little over 16MB Formatted. 

My question is this:

I was told that the RLL controller will work fo about a month and then     
will destroy the media which is not coated thick enough. Is there any
truth to the matter. I have talked to Everex in Freemont, Ca. and they
will not give me any answers one way or the other. They will not comment 
past the standard retorek "we support the ST238, if it works on a ST412
we know nothing". Seagate has no comment at all.
