POGOPLUG LETS
YOU turn any USB-attached drive into a network-accessible drive. Pogoplug’s
Series 4 is a vast improvement over previous models, starting with the upgrade
of the USB ports to the 3.0 standard. In addition, Series 4 offers a SATA/USM
slot on the top of the unit and an SD Card slot.
Pogoplug makes
establishing your own remotely accessible storage easy. Power up the unit,
attach it to your network router or switch, and step through a simple online
setup procedure using your browser you then can access the unit (as well as
any attached drives) from anywhere you have an Internet connection. You don’t
even have to enter a unit ID, as in the past.
The Pogoplug
website portal where you upload, download, share, and view files is capable
enough to get the task done. You use an email address and a password to log on.
Of course, you're limited to the speed of your connection, but if you connect
from the same local network, the Pogoplug is smart enough to bypass the Web
portal and use the local connection for much faster uploads and downloads.
With Series 4,
Pogoplug has finally addressed a major concern about the company's devices that
they would be useless if the company/portal ever went belly up. The company now
has a PC/Mac/Linux software client that lets you directly access (restore) the
files contained on the connected storage, and back up files from your PC.
Portal or no, you can now use the Pogoplug for local network storage.
