(keep reading, more on this farther down) Seagate has included one year’s worth of service with the device, but after that trial is up, you will be required to pay $30 a year to use the service. This dock turns a Seagate FreeAgent Go external hard drive or flash drive into a NAS that also has access to the Pogoplug service. It’s a service that allows you to easily share locally-stored info online. Well, what’s Pogoplug, Matt? I’m glad you asked, friend. From there, it’s simply another Pogoplug device. The website asks you a couple quick questions and then the device is activated. Wait a few seconds for the little light to turn green – which tells you that the dock is connected to the Internet – and then navigate to this activation website.

To set this thing up, all you need to do is plug-in the power and Ethernet and dock a Seagate FreeAgent Go portable hard drive. I’m pleased to report that it works without any hassle, but I still don’t think you should buy it. All you do is insert a Seagate FreeAgent Go hard drive in the dock – or use a USB flash drive – and then the dock becomes not only a local network share, but also an Internet-connected storage device through Pogoplug. The concept is simple, and thankfully, so is the product. I like innovative products and after spending some time with the Seagate FreeAgent DockStar, I think it’s just that.
