I just got my pink one and it said B01 on the box but E02 on the actual device.
From what I read the V2 (E02) should be a better deal since it has double the ram compared to V3 (B01, P21) and it has a faster single core vs. a slower dual core on the V3. Since most programs only takes advantage of a single core then V2 should technically be better. Correct me if I'm wrong since I'm still learning. Last edited by Evi1d33d; 02-16-2013 at 03:50 PM.. |

No videos seem to be playing, hard drives aren't being recognized, and just having a world of problems. Is there a limit on how big the hard drive can be? I know I've read somewhere about no bigger than 3 TB without some work being done, but even a 500 GB portable isn't showing. Only the 160 GB ancient drive is getting picked up.

Anyone got a fix? ***EDIT*** Ok, so I got all four drives recognized finally. Ignore pogoplug's advice on waiting to hook in your drives until after the unit is fully powered back up. Just plug 'em in and then power up. It recognized everything for the first time. Let's hope it continues. Last edited by mr_big_tongue; 02-16-2013 at 06:08 PM.. |

These devices are simply amazing for tinkerers like myself. Just bought a second one on impulse, surprised the deal is still up.
Arch Linux ARM runs great on 'em, but the default software is impressive too! I've been told these are more powerful than the Raspberry Pi. Can anyone back up that statement? |

Raspberry PI has a more powerful CPU, 700Mhz which can be overclocked to 1Ghz,512MB RAM. Pogo has something like 400Mhz CPU, 256MB RAM at best. However, for all intents and purposes w/ArchLinux it is a powerful NAS machine. E02 is the best, because it has more RAM than the later models. Grab it while you can, boys.

Works like a champ. My 16TB NAS server cost me $60+$100 for the nice enclosures which are not necessary. Find me 16TB NAS server for $60 or even $160. Does not exist. Check the previous SD thread on Pogo, it has a lot of useful info. I do believe Cloud Devices, Inc. are selling them at loss, trying to get a cloud market share. Unfortunately for them those things became quite popular here on SD. Last edited by Bagira; 02-16-2013 at 09:17 PM.. |

With the default pogoplug software you can too. You will just have to install the pogoplug companion software on each pc you want to access the drives now. They then show up as local drives which is great in my opinion. But while it may seem much easier upfront, within a few days it starts showing its limitations and issues. First you cant access the drives from a machine that doesnt run the pogoplug software. More importantly if you dont shut down properly, or in the right sequence, you will very quickly have a boat load of issues such as drives not being detecte, drives needing to be scanned for errors, etc. But depending on what you need it for you might want to give e defaukt software a go and if it falls shirt go for archlinux. |
