I'm curious as to why they went with a shielded RJ-45 connector & CAT cable?]]>Sep 16th 2009 9:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/Sep 16th 2009 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/
No thanks. I'll pass.]]>Sep 16th 2009 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/Sep 16th 2009 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/
However the Dockstar has 4 USB ports, while the Pogoplug only has 1, if that is a deciding factor.]]>Sep 16th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/Sep 16th 2009 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://openpogo.com

The Seagate is a crock. Sure you get more USB ports, but with an original pogoplug you can always add a USB hub.]]>Sep 16th 2009 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/Sep 16th 2009 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/Sep 16th 2009 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=301553

Id be wary of plugs from these big manufacturers, I have a feeling they are going to be alot more locked down than ones from Tonido or Pogo.

As far as performance, its fair. Since my drives are formatted as NTFS it does put a pretty big load on the plug as the linux ntfs drivers arent really that great for performance. I think performance would go up greatly if the drives were formatted for ext# or fat32 though.]]>Sep 16th 2009 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/Sep 16th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/Sep 16th 2009 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/Sep 16th 2009 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/seagate-gets-nasty-with-pogoplug-based-freeagent-dockstar/Sep 16th 2009 5:37PM
