I wanted to use it on my PC and Mac laptop to store and backup files. I wanted to see a mounted drive that was actually in pogo plug, at home or away from home. I wanted timemachine to work seemlessly with it, and in the ideal world to store the Itunes folder in the pogoplug attached drives
Bong, bong, bong. This product may well be OK for people with more tech knowledge than me, but I'm not a novice. My advice: do your research better than I did!
The configuation was simple enough, for me it really was just plug and play but from the forums I know others have hit issues but for 99.9% of people it will just work. (my setup: Virgin media cable (L), Linksys router and 3 USB drives)
The pogoplug forum will answer most questions for those who hit a snag.
The main limitation is that outside your home, access to your media will always be limited to the speed of your broadband upload speed which is often not that fast. (Virgin just doubled many packages upload speeds so this is less of an issue)
The drives can be set to appear within windows/OSX (not tried linux) just as if they were physically attached and access speed is nice and quick.
The sharing just works, the web interface allows easy access to be setup just by filling in the person's email address, the system does the rest.
Media streaming works well enough, for PS3 it just works, for the Xbox 360 you just need to share the drives to get a nice folder style view of files rather than the all in one view which isn't that helpful.
Update (after 2+ years of use): Now had the device for 2+ years, it is still going strong, and still in daily use. I would still recommended it.
That said, if you are on Windows only then this is ideal as a server to hold all your docs and media files. Being able to see thumbnails of all your pictures while away from your home network makes downloading pics for friends so much easier. I do have another server running Freenas but can only FTP to it, I can download but only by name, being able to see what it is I'm downloading makes all the difference!
For those of you with friends and family abroad the Pogoplug makes it simple to share pics as all you have to do is send an email through the site which has a link to your file embedded into it. The recipient then simply clicks on the link and downloads. This takes all the hassle out of trying to email pics which depending on your provider may have to be broken up into multiple emails due to size restrictions.
Be warned though! If like me you are on DSL with a poor upload then make sure your recipient downloads your links in the middle of the night as this will use all your upload speed!
If it wasn't for the Linux problem then I would probably hold onto this, going to try a Seagate Goflex Net next as that also uses the Pogoplug website but as it is a straight through ethernet connection (no USB) I'm hoping that it will show up as a network drive in both Windows and Linux.
Support is good: response to a query this weekend in less than 24hrs.
It works with my wife's Macbook as well. As yet access is via a web browser but I think I should be able to see the drive on ther Desktop.
Cloud engines keep pushing software updates that aren't as robust as they should be.
It constantly forgets the settings you give it and the local backup software sucks CPU like its going out of fashion.
Its abominably slow even on a local gigabit network.
unless you format your disks as ext3 it will trash them after a couple of weeks of use.
File sharing over the internet is awful. I have 10mb up and I can't reliably browse the device.
Avoid it unless you like pain.
