I just ordered another one, black unit, $14.99 shipped, using paypal.

What's the best way to turn off Pogoplug? With an attached USB drive is there any chance of losing data if I just disconnect the AC cord from the back of the Pogoplug to turn it off?

I changed the settings in Pogoplug backup to mount the attached USB drive to my local wireless network. I tried to unmount the drive by changing the settings back in the backup software and shutting down the backup service, but I can still access the USB drive on my local network. Is there a way to unmount the drive or isn't that necessary? I notice that the DokanCEMounter Cloud Engine service is still running.

Yep youre right...back to 14.99.maybe it was somethng in those few hours? Ayway i just ordered another one at 14.99.

Ok so heres what it is: if you follow the link in this thread, it is 14.99. But if you search for pogoplug on the adorama site or follow the pogoplug link in your email receipt it shows 18.99.

Go to mypogoplug.com, sign in, on the left your drive is listed, use dropdown box---eject.

Quote from SGS-1 : Is there a reason why you "had" to install Arch instead of using it straight out of box? Any instructions somewhere that will show how to set this all up with Hamachi? Basically my needs are having a drive connected to it and share files back and forth (like dropbox) without paying any other fees besides this box. Also, are there any other untapped potential for this device that I am missing?

I have a full copy of debian arm running on mine. It can do anything a regular Linux server can do (albeit a little slower and with a lot less power usage )

Thanks. I had one 500g usb portable seagate attached, with 4 partitions, that resulted in four separate 'seagate' drives mounted under 'my computer'.

One partition I could not eject from mypogoplug com (maybe it was the recovery partition?), but I signed out and signed back in and now indicates "no drive attached".

However after unplugging the USB drive, disconnecting the ethernet, then turning off pogoplug, two of the partitions still remain mounted under "my computer" as seagate drives with drive letters Q and S (showing 4TB, from a 500GB drive), but there's no content on the drives to view any longer.

The 4tb I think may be Pogoplug Team folder? which you can access but not store anything on without a subscription. Is the other the free cloud storage you get with Pogo? Sign out of pogo on the local machine and see if they go away.

That is interesting.
I signed out of mypogo com and unplugged the hardware, still there.
Then I stopped the Dokan cloud service and the drives disappeared from 'my computer'.

Thanks for your help.

Fyi, the cloud storage is free and usable.

Ditto. Winging it's way to me.

I just got the black one for $14.99... it's on its way to me. Maybe now I can kick my 15 year old (or will be in June) noisy, power-guzzling Pentium II FreeNas rig to the curb, except that it has 120GB and 160GB 7200RPM EIDE drives that I'd still like to use. I have an old EIDE to USB enclosure, but its fan is super noisy and it requires yet another outlet.

Thank you. I ordered a pink and wondering if I should order a black one to get E02. Now, I will wait!
