I just bought my Air Stash A02 and want to know if I should keep it or get something else (maybe the Cloudftp). So far, I see no reason to return it...other than the fact that it doesn't seem to work well with my Android devices. But it works great on iOS devices. Its speed, in terms of streaming, seems to be determined by the SDHC card used. I have a faster one, as I tested it with CyrstalDiskMark. It is a good bit faster and reads than the one it came with (I bought the 8GB model for $127). It's not cheap. I'm a digiial hoarder so I seem to have no end to my storage needs (desires), but I'm going to resist buying one of those 128GB SDXC cards. :)

Another advantage of owning this...if go to a conference and only take an iPad and want to exchange files with people who have laptops. This give you an easy way to do that because you have two ways to transfer files: usb or wireless. The A02 is much smaller than the A01, too.

Note: the Ipad does not have enough juice to run a non-powered external hard drive. For this to work, the USB portable hard drive would have to be self-powered
