Anybody used a Pogoplug?

[Tristicus]

Just got one...question, do I have to have an external hooked up to this thing or can I just stream files from my PC? If the former, I have no use for it...

pretty sure it required a usb storage device, itd be nice if they had a website that talked about the product


im also pretty sure there is software available that will let you stream stuff from your pc over the internet

Well no shit sherlock, but I got the thing free, and it is useless to me without that ability.

You don't work at Best Buy, do you? My brother does, and just got one given to him for free.

I have to wonder if there is a reason they are giving these away for free...

Yep.

And it was the non-V2 version (without wireless), so probably trying to get rid of stock or something. Time to put the thing up for sale...I don't own an external HDD and really don't plan to...though it'd be useful to have one for like games - movies - music - etc.

Pogoplug sounds like a device one would buy from an online store with the URL ending in .xxx
