Cloud computing is a big buzzword on the internet today. Everyone’s been talking about how it will be so much easier for everyone if our important files can just be accessed from the “cloud”. Even though various services are now available that can give you a taste of the potentials of cloud computing, it’s still a third-party service and anyone who has a drop of paranoia in their blood won’t be too happy with that.

The cool thing would be if you can actually start a “cloud” server within the comforts of your own home. Conspiracy theorists can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that a stranger won’t be able to snoop around your files. And yes, it’s cool to say “I can access my files wherever I go and I host it myself.”

Enter the Pogoplug Pro. This gadget is the answer to all of your prayers. It’s a small device – actually a USB hard drive – that gives you the ability to access the files you’ve put inside it anywhere you are – even if you’re halfway around the world.

The Pogoplug Pro basically connects to the internet and from there you can access your files. Just log on to the IP address of the Pogoplug Pro you own and you’ve got all your files in your fingertips.

The Pogoplug Pro is quite versatile. It allows you to not just access and download files. You can even use it to stream media on the device of your choice – even your iPhone or your PS3 or Xbox 360.  But access is not just limited to you. If you want to share a particular file to your friends or relatives you can easily do so. You can generate a link to the file that you want to share and they can access it as well. And they can only access that file you want to share and nothing else. Your files are still private and protected.

You’ll never turn back once you’ve seen this baby at work.
