Just to play devil's advocate here: if that system can scan better than current systems, it's already a win. If that system can scan more efficiently than current systems, even with false positives, that could be a win, if used as a screening layer.
There could be use cases for this, or it's just buzzwords and marketing.
This doesn't sound any different than what most host based AV already do. The novel idea is implementing it in on the storage array directly in a way that doesn't hose performance. That means instead of needing 100% coverage of all clients to detect/ prevent ransomware encrypting your network storage, the storage array can detect it and presumably reject the compromised client.
