A little bit of an update.
When transferring ripped movies to the My Book Live my network has been crashing (although by a series of reboots I have transferred all my files so far) which is incredibly annoying. So after doing some googling I discovered that this is a known issue with BT HomeHub 2’s when transferring large files which will require a call to BT after the bank holiday to hopefully get an upgrade to a BT HomeHub 3.

I would like to know, or determine, how your new device compares to this thing I have (I got it for $60):

I need todo some reading but the Pogoplug seems to be the front end, i.e. the hardware/software interface whereas the My Book Live carries it's own built in HD, aside from that (and the important expandability of the Pogoplug) they don't appear to do to much differently.....but that's just from a quick scan of the product.
The great thing is that there are options to suit every taste and pocket out there, I purposely veered towards the WD solution as I have never had a single failure in many years of using there products (runs and touches some wood!) and confidence is a big selling point for me when deciding which direction to head in. I could certainly see me trying out the Pogoplug in the not so distant future.

Yes, I can see a clear different with the WD product, but I was wondering about the CloudFTP product you linked above. That device seems to only work with usb, but has batteries so it is mobile. It would seem they are different enough for it to make sense to possibly own both, one you figure out exactly what they do and how they do it. Right now, I'm confused a bit about the WD solution to you discussing. I think if the MyBook stuff as storage...and also as a streamer of media...and apparently, there is a cloud option added. I guess it makes good sense to combine all of these...I guess.

Ah, yes, I misunderstood.
Yes, the CloudFTP is completely mobile, the YouTube videos of it are slightly more informative than the website which doesn't seem to do a very good job of selling what looks like a very good device. For me, one of the biggest selling points of the CloudFTP is the ability to save from iPad to CloudFTP rather than what is effectively a one way street. There are workarounds for this for the WD My Book Live but nothing really elegant.
