I am interested to see how it works out for you; I have a 1.5tb seagate freeagent hooked up on mine, and I just bought a second 1.5tb seagate to go along with it.
I was under the impression that I could use a USB hub with Pogo (the original Pogoplug, from last October).
However, I attached a USB Hub, plugged in two drives (out of four open slots), the drives light up and appear to be powered on - but they don't show up anywhere in the pogo system. not on the website or on the desktop.
what to do?
question: does it matter if the USB hub is powered or not? The one that I'm using is unpowered.
thanks!

@smarti120 - you'll need a powered hub for those drives, one will show up just fine, but two will occasionally fall offline when the power requirements of the combined drives surge beyond the capacity of the Pogoplug to provide for them.

funny - right now I have a 1 TB and a 400 or so GB hooked up - about an hour or two ago, they went off-line... I'm thinking it must be my wife or someone knocked something over or unplugged something by mistake...
but maybe it's what Jon says - could they have gone over the power limit? Is there any way of dealing with that, should that be the case?
anyhow, I can't access them now (even after re-loading the pogo applet) - they're definitely off-line, will see what happened (possibly) when I get back home tonight..

I have ten powered drives connected through two seven-port powered hubs, and it all works as expected. USB can support up to 127 devices per port, the the Pogoplugs have two ports (with 2 plugs each) inside.

Okay, I tried again, this time using a powered Hub.
This seems to have done the trick - two drives are showing up... will try using both from a remote location today and see how it goes.
incidentally, of the two drives themselves, the new one is self-powered (that means it has its own AC cord, yes?) and the other, the original one, is USB powered...
thanks!
