Buy.com has the Pogoplug POGO-B01 Diskless System Network Storage for $13 with free shipping. Connects up to 4 external hard drives (or more with a USB hub) to network router for instant network and internet content sharing. Media can be streamed with a web browser, iPhone, Android, iPad, and other mobile devices.
Even at 13 this is not worth it. Pogo changes their software constantly, and it really doesn't work well with this item anymore... unless you pay for it. Even if you get it working in a way that makes you happy, it is insanely slow. Mine sits unused.
I use mine all the time. It streams 1080p stuff over my local network just fine. The software isn't the greatest but you can access your files in a pinch. So yeah, I disagree with #1 and say that it's definitely worth the $13.
I'm using a black one--it's okay. I've got some 250GB drives in SATA-to-USB docks for storage. It's nice to know where the data in my "cloud" is actually stored. The software is kind of quirky, but it's okay for what I need. It's good if you've got some USB hard drives collecting dust.

$13 Linux toy. Why not. I already have two of these (E01).
I need find out what are the differences between B01 and E01.
