Major Features
- Access files using Pogoplug software/browser/mobile device
- Integrates nicely with a FreeAgent Go drive
- Samba built-in (have to configure on my.pogoplug.com)
- Dirt cheap - sold on eBay for around $10
Let-Downs
- Not easy to reflash: needs a TFTP server and serial connection
- Only 1 year of my.pogoplug.com access - $30/year afterwards
- No hardware clock - time set using NTP, which needs an Internet connection
- Old kernel, old BusyBox, no way to update it
- Probably a failed product in Seagate's eyes - price continues to plummet
