I'm sure this has been answered somewhere but I am seeing many conflicting answers.

I want to purchace a PogoPlug but before...

My desired result is to have a new drive letter available on our 3 laptops (XP or Vista 32bit) that all point to the single hard drive that will be connected to it.

The goal is to have a central My Documents folder that will be available to the laptops trough a single drive letter.

I will be storing by CD collection on the same drive to be available by my PS3

If anyone can confirm that this is possible withoput 3rd party apps, I'll by a PogoPlug immediately!

Thanks in advance

My understanding, and experience is PogoPlug, using the it's Drive application will alway attempt to use the "P" drive. If it's not available, it will choose the next available letter.

However, if you have two drives attached to the plug, and use Multi-Drive in the Drive application, there is no telling which one will get P and which will get the next available letter. I unchecked the Multi-Drive option and the plug always has been P with each drive appearing as a folder in P.

Thanks David for the quick reply.
As long as there is a simple drive assignment, the letter is unimportant.
I have 3 laptops, a wireless router and a 1TB drive. Simple!

I've spent months of trial and error with other products only to have either the media server portion not work correctly with the PS3 or to have file volume and/or size restrictions or only FAT32 support for drives.

So far PogoPlug seems to have it all.

Confirmed. You can easily do what you want without a problem. I have several computers that I have connected to my Pogoplug and a PS3 that I've used to stream music from the Pogoplug.
