Pogoplug Mobile

Pogoplug Series 4. The Pogoplug Series 4 is the latest generation of hardware from Pogoplug, representing a return to the Marvell Kirkwood platform.

This device is based on the 88F6192 SoC, which is a slightly under-powered relative to the 88F6281 found in the other supported ARMv5 devices. Under the removable top cover, there is a SATA port (3 Gbps) and a USB 2.0 port, as well as an SDHC slot along the side of the device. On the back of the unit, there is a single gigabit ethernet port as well as an event driven eject button (/dev/input/event0). New to plug hardware are two USB 3.0 ports on the back provided by a controller connected to the internal PCIe bus. Red and green LEDs are individually controllable in the front. Booting into Arch Linux ARM is only supported from storage devices using either the SATA or USB 2.0 port on the top of the device. Pogoplug Mobile Review. I stumbled across this home based personal cloud solution whilst reading about an offer from CNET who had partnered with Pogoplug to offer 20gb free public cloud storage.

Cloud Storage Options There two types of “solution” that Pogoplug offers: Public Cloud (on their server) pay for extra storagePrivate Cloud (at home or business) you provide the storage and you buy a Pogoplug Device By the way, you can have both public and private running under one account. As everyone knows, it is far cheaper (and a one off cost) for buying your own hard drive if comparing the cost per GB for buying your own hard drive against buying public cloud space.

After unboxing and connecting the PogoPlug to my router and to my external hard drive, I went to the official website, created an account, and activate my device. After doing this I was able to read the data stored on my hard drive on the website which I find pretty neat. However I browsed my network on my Windows PC and I couldn’t find any new device.
