It may work out for people who have lots of media in one pretty basic format (mp3.s, ripped dvd's etc..) But i bought it to finally watch the collection of random videos i've been downloading through the years on to an old external drive.
About 1 in 40 videos played, and it ended up corrupting the files on the drive (tried with a 4gb flash drive i had with similar results.
Also i got a bad audio hiss till after a first video would play and then it would be silent. Now i could have gotten a defective unit, but in the end (after it corrupted my video collection drive) i really had no reason to save any of those videos anyways and if they were gone i wouldn't miss them and i might as well stop saving crap i'll never watch again in the first place...
