Pogoplug Classic Media Sharing Device in Pink or Black (POGO-B01 or POGO-P21) $15 + Free Shipping

Quote from whuzizname : Seems to me that the original intent of this device has been thoroughly been supplanted by Dropbox and the hundreds of other cloud storage providers. If all you're going to use it for is internet-accessible storage, I have to question its value.

Seen this deal lots of times but never bit. After some checking, in for one, for its original intent.

I've got two TB of music converted from CDs and albums onto hard drives that I rarely listen to, having gone a laptop to a smartphones and tab for casual use. Dropbox and Box allow for a few gigs available max. With this and the Pogoplug Android app it seems I can access them 24/7. Well worth $15. If the company carps out, it looks like you can play with linux on it.

Some reviews of the Android App seem to say it streams a song at a time? Oh well, that's what MP3 wrappers are for.

Plex is better than this for the same thing, but I don't like to leave my "server" computer running 24/7. And I'm not seeing that I can't have both Plex and Pogo going.

Probably been answered already but does the Pogo server transcode and stream video at all, or do the raw video files just have to be downloaded to the tab then played on the tab's video app of choice?

By the way, the black is now $15 as well. Fixed my dilemma and bought one.

what was dilema?

does anyone know (even for future reference) does it use uPnP to allow access??

Quote from zoro : what was dilema?

Pink and my insecurity with my manhood.

Just ordered a black one and had no problems. Maybe back in stock? Reped and many thanks OP!

How does this connect to the network? Do you have to connect this to your router with a cable, or can it be connected via wifi?

Hard wire/cable only; access your data via wifi or any internet source.

Big plus for the black now available....pink was just not a favorite color.

Anyone with a good easy walk thru guide on how to install Sabnzbd and SB on this?

Should have waited for the black version but meh, now I have been reading to hopefully put a usb webcam and get it wifi enabled making a cheap IP cam.

Techs don't complain about color, only downtime

got a pink one. wanted a black on. FU slickdeals. FU!!

what exactly does this do? does this connect to the AppleTV? etc

EDIT: how does it compare to a full fledged NAS? (still have that GoFlex Home...)
