WiFi-Connected Hard Drive Fits a Plex Server In Your Pocket (engadget.com)

An anonymous reader cites an Engadget report:Over the years we've seen Plex's media software run across a number of different devices, from PCs to game consoles to NAS and cellphones. Now, it's teamed up with Western Digital for what it says is the first portable Plex Media Server. The hardware is handled by the My Passport Wireless Pro, a battery-powered portable hard drive that can run standalone for 10 hours, charge mobile devices, and back up data via SD or USB 3.0. The all-in-one box can even create a WiFi network to sync with mobile devices or stream media to any device running Plex. The 2TB version is ready to take your stuff on the go for $230, and upgrading to 3TB only costs an extra $20.

Plex user here. Literally none of those things are true.

For starters, the free version is ridiculously feature rich. Second, you only have to use the DLNA server if that's all your frontend can support. Last but not least all that online database stuff can be turned off in settings.
