  • Affordable, easy-to-start method of getting multiple USB hard drives online and acting as Internet-accessible servers; compatible with most smartphones, Web browsers, game consoles, and operating systems
  • Awkward and unintuitive media-browsing experience, unreliable and choppy playback and file format compatibility make audio and especially video streaming unreliable, case design is just plain ugly
  • With more USB ports and a few new features, the new Pogoplug remains a unique and relatively easy way to share files online. Its media-streaming features, however, leave something to be desired.
