Fantastic solution!

I cannot say enough about the PogoPlug! It was super simple to setup. It took me about five minutes once I had it connected to the network and the USB hard drive and now I can access my drives from pretty much anywhere. It's AWESOME! I set this up with two 1 terabyte drives and set one to mirror to the other as a simple backup in case one drive failed. On my home network this is as fast as any other mapped drive. Accessing things remotely is *sometimes* pretty slow, but it does work and... quite well. Also don't get confused between the PogoPlug PC software and the FREE PogoPlug Companion, or Backup, software. The FREE software, when loaded on your computer, will allow you to access your PogoPlug device like a mapped drive. This is not clear on their website, but it works GREAT! The only downside that I see is that you *must* setup a free account to the PogoPlug service to access your device. So far it hasn't been a problem, but if their service is off-line for some reason, you may not be able to get to your files via the network. Still, at this price, I'm willing to take that chance. Besides, if worse comes to worst, I can always just plug the USB hard drive directly into a machine to get to my stored data.
