The Pogoplug allows a user to run a personal cloud server from a home network. The data resides on hard drives and thumb drives that plug directly into the Pogoplug device; from there, the data can be accessed from anywhere via the Internet. Keep in mind that some ISPs forbid customers from hooking servers up to residential connections, though those rules are rarely enforced.

What Is Pogoplug?

Pogoplug is made up of two components: an adapter that plugs into a router and accepts any USB 2.0 drive or memory stick, and the Pogoplug service. Drives can be formatted with NTFS, FAT32, and Mac OS X.
