I copied a bunch of video files from Pogoplug to my MBP using Samba. And it could do slightly better than 10MB/s when connected through the gigabit. This is more than acceptable performance - at this speed, I don't need/want to install pogoplug kernel driver on OSX. Another happy combination. But this got me thinking... if Pogoplug can act as a native Windows storage system, why not native Apple storage ? So I've started working on turning Pogoplug into a time machine using avahi and netatalk. I haven't got it working but at least pogoplug shows up on Finder's Network view as if it's an Xserve :) Hopefully I'll get some spare time to dig this more and get it working soon...
