So without pogo plug this will appear as any normal smb on your network without connected to your comp? under say workgroup? or do you have to telenet in to enable smb. The Dockstar is basically the same thing, but it has the advantage of not requiring a hack to enable smb. I was getting over 13MBs reading large files which is fine. I had a PogoPlug and I could easily stream 720p video. Obviously these devices are not meant to replace a good NAS. I just can't see them rendering a bunch of Dockstars useless without paying $30. The Dockstar already has the smb capability as well as the advantages of the PogoPlug. There are clients for windows, mac, linux but I couldn't get it to work with my media player, even after they opened up support for media streaming ( via UPNP). I was running a Drobo off the PogoPlug when I was testing one. I don't know if the trick works with EXT2/3 but that is how I plan to format drives connected to the Dockstar. NTFS on Linux works but it's nowhere near as fast as you are going to get with EXT2/3 or even FAT. The trick mentioned earlier to run it without connecting to pogoplug seems to be designed for NTFS. The thing with both these devices is they are running Linux like most NAS units. Lead wrote: ↑a quick google all i could fine was one mentioning of nas speed of 20-50kb a sec.
