    I am getting a new laptop next week(hopefully) and want to setup some sort of network storage. I might also be getting my wife a budget laptop so she won't be stuck with this old desktop. Last year I saw the original pogo plug and really wanted it but never could justify the need to buy it and now I can. I noticed the second generation one has a few more ports and really like the idea of being able to access and upload files while away from my home. From what I can tell it looks pretty reliable and probably the most cost effective way to give me what I'm looking for. How many of you have had experience with this product and if not would you consider using it for yourself? Thanks

    Thanks for the link. I am really wanting to get input from any users on here that have used it. As of now I think I will go ahead and order it when I order my laptop unless I hear bad things from yall.

    Well I got mine in today and have to say the build quality seems very great and from only seeing the first gen. plug it definitely looks like they put alot more into design, build quality, and features. The demo is right, I had it set up and running in a minute or two. Now I and getting ready to try out the android app they have for my Droid. :D Nice little device and sure it will not only serve it's purpose I bought it for but the other advantages it offers giving me access while anywhere in the world is sweet.
