Nas solutions

[Michael Clease]

I have been thinking about getting a NAS to attach to my router and was wondering if anyone has a product that could recommend, I have seen at my local PCworld a POGOplug which does look very interesting. I have two external HDD's so this could be a good option the cloud side could be handy for when I'm out and about.

and at £50 thats quite reasonable I think.

Any comments / recommendations ?

Hi Michael,

I don't unfortunately have any first-hand info on this product, but I did find a review of it which looks very helpful.

I bought a NAS about 2 or 3 years ago... the price was just too good to be true. Found out the reason was, the drives had to be formatted Fat32, the NAS I bought did not support NFTS. So I gave it a friend of mine who had many Fat32 only drives.

So make sure you read which formats the NAS supports that is my only advice :)

[font=courier new][size=8pt]The good: The description of pogoplug seems good. And, for the price, you aren't risking much.

The bad: In the picture, it is shown standing vertically. But, obviously, only the horizontal position is stable (unless you brace it), especially if there are little kids or cats in the area.
