Today I finally had enough of this device they call the Pogoplug and went back to the store to explain I needed my money back. It was hard to explain that although it was not broke, it did not do what it was supposed to do and in the end I just agreed with the store clerk and said yes, it was indeed broke. While it does have some use somehow and maybe might suit some people, it was not the device for me. I did email the people at Pogoplug with a link to this site and my thoughts, if they want to send me a review unit for in-depth testing at there expense, then I will continue to report on it but I shall not hold my breath.
Spending some hard cash on a real NAS Box
I have choosen to spend some real wonga on a decent unit, a Proper NAS if you like. I have chosen the Synology DS210J as this supports 2 drives upto 2TB each and has a whole wealth of features such as torrent server, iTunes server and so forth. On top of this I have added 2x2TB Drives at £76 each – this shall give me a total of 4TB RAID-1 storage space plus the 3 USB Drives plugged in as well.
I shall post a much fuller review once I receive this equipment.
