The first roadblock is for consumers to encrypt their home WiFi networks, which is a step most security-minded home network users take regardless of whether they’re using products like this.Beyond that, Pogoplug uses the HTTP Secure protocol to link home networks to the Internet. Though it might give users a convenient way to share files around the home and from far away, if consumers can access their home networks from the Web using FreeAgent DockStar, what’s to stop hackers from taking over those home networks or users’ social networking identities? It works with the Pogoplug service from Cloud Engines.
In other words, consumers can create their network-attached storage systems and their own personal clouds. It will also let them deliver linked pictures and video to social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, or share files directly or through RSS feeds. The FreeAgent DockStar network adapter will let consumers access files over the Web from computers or storage devices. The device can be used with any USB storage device, but buyers who also want a 500 GB Go drive can get a bundle package for US$289.99. The FreeAgent Theater + is available immediately for $149.99.
