Could you give us a little more info on the model of drive you purchased? I believe that the SATA slot on top is meant specifically for smaller models, e.g., the GoFlex and smaller laptop type drives. With a proper cable, you could still connect it though.

Just to add to the OP's report: I made a new purchase of a Seagate GoFlex 1TB and indeed it was too large to fit. It turns out that if you look at the side of the GoFlex box, it shows that the 500GB and under units are only 14.5mm thick whereas the 750GB and larger are 22mm (too thick for PogoPlug).

I was extremely lucky that the brick & mortar store allowed me to exchange it right away for a 500GB, but I was stuck having to purchase additional "stuff" I didn't need because of the price difference.

Had I known it needed to be 500GB or smaller due to size, I wouldn't have lost the extra cash.

PogoPlug - I suggest you clearly state on your promo materials and website that it only fits the 14.5mm GoFlex's (500GB or smaller).
