Pogoplug or Dockstar?

Which one of the two is better? I need to buy one of the two but not really sure which one is better. I don't mind the price difference is the extra ram helps. Thanks.

With my experience of Pogoplug... I would not recommend anything at all from CloudEngines... but thats a personal view.

When it comes to DockStars (ducks) vs Pogoplug V2 Pinks (pinkys) it comes down to ram & nand space. The pinky has more ram, but the duck has more NAND, and some models even more.

@Richard, The only reason it's between these two is because I can get them next day via amazon easily.
@Warhead, If I am mainly concerned with a Samba share of a 2TB drive which is more important? I will eventually add more HD's but I will probably just get an ATOM PC by then.

It’s not really pink, in my opinion. It’s more a magenta. To qualify as a pink it’d have to be desaturated more than it is.

Well if thats the only goal, either works. It's all up to the number of ports you want access to.

True.. it is easily available.. I had the same reason when I ordered. I loaded PlugOS to my PogoPlug and it Fails to boot if more than 1 USB Storage device is attached. I dont know how to get around that bit as I wanted the OS on a 4GB usb stick and Hard disks to be on the other USB ports. This didnt work
I am sure there is a way, I dont know how uboot priorities or even tries to look for valid partitions on USB devices.
