Pogoplug Series 4 for Your Own Cloud

Pogoplug Logo Regular readers will recall that I was quite taken with the integration of Pogoplug into the Buffalo CloudStation Duo, so I was very interested to hear that Pogoplug have released a new device, the Series 4. If you aren’t familiar with the Pogoplug device, it’s a network gadget that makes attached USB devices available across the Internet. In short, you can make your own personal cloud. More recently, Pogoplug has released a cloud service that complements the hardware devices.

Unsurprisingly, the Pogoplug Series 4 is the 4th generation of their of their original device, and while retaining the form factor of the Pogoplug Mobile, the devices now includes four different connection types for hooking up hard drives and other media.

2x USB 3.0
1x USB 2.0
1x 2.5” SATA / USM / Seagate GoFlex ultra-portable drives
1x SD card slot

New to the Pogoplug range is plug-and-play support for Seagate’s GoFlex external drives and other products that have adopted the new universal storage module standard (USM). There’s a gigabit Ethernet port for connecting the Series 4 to the network.

Owners can make their photos and videos available to friends and family over the Internet to PCs and mobile devices such as iPhones, Android smartphones and WebOS devices. The new Series 4 is designed to be an extension of the Pogoplug Cloud service. 5GB of cloud storage is available for free and premium options for 50GB and 100GB will be offered shortly.

The Pogoplug Series 4 is on-sale now for an RRP of $99.99.

I read it was a 800mhz vs 1.2Ghz processor of the older one. Also 128mb ram(same as dockstar) but less then most other pogoplug devices with 256 or 512. I run my website off my hacked dockstar(pogoplug) works rather well. Purchased 3 of the dockstars, think I will pass on this one though.
