Right now I just have the Maxtor OneTouch 4 (500GB) running and it works great. I plan to pick up some enclosures soon and add to my arsenal. I'll post here again when I do.

This is the place to post compatible USB drives and USB drive enclosures for the Pogoplug. Please chime in if your hard drive is working smoothly with your Pogoplug!

The Western Digital My Book 1TB drive seems to work well most of the time. Over a WIFI-LAN, viewing DVD quality video is usually smooth and without pixelation. File transfers happen at around 500K/s to 3M/s. I've been quite happy. I have found some problems with transferring large 1gb+ files, and some of my photographs copied over with errors, although this was infrequent. I don't know why this might have happened, whether it was a drive problem, a pogoplug issue, or a network problem.

Intrepid63, nice setup. I have a WD 120G HD and a 1.5TB hardrive connected to a USB hub and it works great for me.

Spinning Platter HD's
- HP Personal Media Drive; 1 TB and 500 GB both working fine
- HP Pocket Media Dine; 250 GB working fine
- IBM ThinkPad external USB size?? working just fine
Note: None of these drives are spinning down when I use the Pogoplug Drive client, but will if I only use the web interface.
Flash Storage:
- Kingston 16 GB MicoSD in USB Card Reader; just fine
- Unknown "1 GB made in China"; just fine
Oddball things because I Can:
- HTC Windows Mobile phone; yup looks just like a drive, just a sloooow one.
- Kodak Printer Dock with SD Card inserted; just fine
- Samsung SC2410 Development Board with onboard flash; oh yeah.
- Viliv 55 mobile PC in Device Mode; Yup

Is anyone using a RAID 0 (mirroring) configuration? I took a look at the SANS product - no mention of RAID. How are you backing up data and adding scalability? Any RAID 1 users? Second, took a look at Frys yesterday - 89 bucks for 1.5 TB 7200 RPM drives. Internal 3.5 SATA, seems to make sense in a Netgear 49 dollar enclosure - priced right - but got bad reviews.
Looking for ideas .

I am using a Drobo v2.0 (with Firewire 800/USB 2.0) connected to the pogoplug. It has 3 2TB partition (thin provisioned via Drobo Dashboard, which report to the OS that it has more space than it physically has). This actually works out quite well.
I am using this setup to provide remote backup for a media server that my volunteer organization has. I simply mount the PogoPlugged drives as a desktop drive and use SyncToy to synchronize the drives. This serves as the remote backup. This is an excellent low power remote backup solution.
Have been very happy with PogoPlug 1.x firmware but now having some issue with 2.x.

No problems on all of the above. Ran badblocks and iozone with no issues.

I am using a Western Digital 1tb hard drive that I can use when hooked up to my mac, but as soon as I plug it in to pogoplug, pogoplug will not recognize the device. Any suggestions?

Waldo,
Sounds like you have the drive set up properly. Can you access the pogoplug via the web? I had issues getting set up and support had to help me. When I got past that, I ran into my crappy DSL service. The upload from from my suburban Atlanta home just plain sucks. AT&T DSL just can't deliver what the cable company can ....sounds like the 3G service right? HMMMMM....

Has anyone tried the Toshiba 1TB external hard drive or the HP 1TB SimpleSlave Drive? i am thinking about getting one of these drives with the Pogoplug, but want to know will they work before i spend the money.

I'm using an old 250GB MyBook. I can see files but not open them. Folders appear empty. Do I need to change settings that will allow my drive function like an attached drive? Thank you in advance for your comments.
