  • Slooowww
  • No eSATA support

  • Pink accents may be a deterrent
  • No way to import contacts for sharing. Price has increased. Hot disconnect could hose a drive.
  • 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
  • Video streaming is limited to 640x480 unless you buy the Video version.
  • Web page shows limited number of items per page
  • Taxes upload bandwidth when others download or stream files.
