I'm considering buying a pogoplug, but I'd like to avoid using a second power outlet for the harddrive. I'm wondering if it can power harddrives through the USB ports. Can it provide the 500mA per USB port that the USB standard provisions for ?

Yes. I have two portable USB drives connected to mine. A Samsung and a Western Digital. They have been that way for over a year with no problems.
