Happy Thanksgiving everyone (who celebrates this holiday).
After living with the 2 Plug computers for 2 months now, I have the following conclusion:
1. Consumer: Pogoplug
I have to say I love the Desktop Virtual drive that Pogoplug provides. This device has the average consumer in mind. While it doesn’t offer as many application as TonidoPlug, it simply works. The only con I can think of is that its web interface won’t support playing of video. I am not sure if I am not smart enought to get it to work or it is simply not supported. Photo and Music plays fine directly from web interface.
2. Geeks: TonidoPlug
The applications support is simply awesome. They recently added a package that you can do https connection with the device. Granted it wasn’t a commercial certificate, but nonetheless, it allows you to connect to your device without worrying about evedropping (good for say connecting from corporate network back to home).
The various applications are updated regularly and new ones have been added. I have not actually play with them much. However, the torrent client, by itself, is worth the money I think. Low power torrent machine is a great thing to have!
PogoPlug just came out with its V2 hardware It looks really slick and come with 4 ports USB 2.0 instead of 1 (which you can get a USB 2.0 hub to do the same). Price has increase to $129 though…
