http://www.amazon.com/Pogoplug-Series-Backup-Device-Version/dp/B006I5MKZY/ http://www.amazon.com/Pogoplug-Series-Backup-Device-Version/...
This one is 18$ http://www.amazon.com/Pogoplug-Backup-and-Sharing-Device/dp/B005GM1Q1O http://www.amazon.com/Pogoplug-Backup-and-Sharing-Device/dp/... but it looks like the first device of the list without sata and usb3 (still good for doing some small hack[1]
Some years ago I bought a Seagate Dockstar (that was derived from the first pogoplug imho) for around 30-40$ (the street price was 80-100) and I'm still using it with Debian (nothing too fancy, just samba, transmission bt client and minidlna)
[1] NB according to this blog post http://fortysomethinggeek.blogspot.com/2013/03/pogoplug-series-4-archlinux-review.html http://fortysomethinggeek.blogspot.com/2013/03/pogoplug-seri... che old versions had better specs (this pogoplug has 800mhz cpu and 128mb ram, the old one was 1.2ghz like my dockstar)
- martinml 13y agoThanks! It's a pity Amazon USA doesn't ship electronics to Spain (and while Amazon UK does, the price is much higher). I'll search the 2nd hand market, because it looks like a really great device for that price for little hacks and such :)
- s_baby 13y agoI was referring to ebay prices. If you plan on buying do a little research on the best performing one. http://fortysomethinggeek.blogspot.com/2013/03/pogoplug-series-4-archlinux-review.html http://fortysomethinggeek.blogspot.com/2013/03/pogoplug-seri...
- Ecio78 13y agoThis Seagate is quite cheap (24 pound) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-STAK200-FreeAgent-GoFlex-Sharing/dp/B003R02R2O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374055765&sr=8-1&keywords=dockstar http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-STAK200-FreeAgent-GoFlex-Sha... and it seems to be hackable too even though, according to this article[1] , you can't simply enable ssh (you need a serial connection[2], I think I bought one of this cable for a couple of euros from some chinese site, but I've never used it, it was just as a "brick" insurance for my dockstar :-)) NB of course a raspberry pi is always a great solution for its price [1]http://v2.blogdoch.net/2012/08/19/wusel-080047/ http://v2.blogdoch.net/2012/08/19/wusel-080047/ [2]http://www.varkey.in/2011/06/seagate-goflex-net-serial-connection/ http://www.varkey.in/2011/06/seagate-goflex-net-serial-conne...
- s_baby 13y agoThe problem with pi is USB2.0 with 100M NIC located on USB hub. It's a bottleneck for filesharing throughput. So far there's been no good device that offers USB 3.0 with gigabit ethernet. Even the Pogoplug doesn't count because it has bottlenecks elsewhere.
