How do things like this work with evolving codecs and formats? Would you trust a company like MediaMate to keep updated with firmware upgrades?

this sounds nice but I really wonder how long it will work for as formats keep evolving daily.

Since formats keep evolving daily, I wonder if they will keep updating the firmware...

you can get similar systems on ebay for much less. if you have a PS3 or a 360, all you really need is a Passport/Flash drive, and you get the same thing as this. Heck, you don't even need the other hard drive if you have your system networked to your computer.
