Tonido has really gotten into the whole “app” concept so there are a number of free apps that come loaded by default, with more available to install. I’ll go into that further in a bit, but let’s look at the rest of the features. This core pack takes whatever hard drives are installed on the system, and makes them available to access via a custom url from the domain. Tonido’s software is free for the base package. Tonido took this path a little sooner than Pogoplug, and it’s evident in their software’s maturity. It’s actually a little excessive at points (what consumer needs iSCSI initiator and target capabilities?) but it’s there for you if you do. Just take a look at any of the recent NASes from Synology, QNAP, or NETGEAR, and you’ll spend ten minutes going over the feature list. Consumers interested in NAS products want the NAS to do everything and then some. What I believe both companies have realized is that the Marvell plug computer form factor is underpowered for the demands of NAS duty. The Tonido Plug is probably the Pogoplug’s biggest competitor, although Tonido has taken a slightly different direction.
