Currently, your local Walmart has this WD My Passport 2 Terabyte External HDD $49.00 with a free in-store pick up. This may be a good SATA HDD for your PogoPlug Pro.by habibie - Off-Topic

IIRC, I can only get as much as 15 MBps between two Linux computers connected on a Gigabit LAN using the FTP protocol.

@JeffS: What does "M/s" stand for, i.e. Mbps or MBps? Also, you may wanna run 'top' utility to see what eats the CPU cycles while doing the transfer.by habibie - Off-Topic

How about using a lead-acid battery with a 110V/220V Automatic Electric Car Battery Charger Intelligent Pulse Repair Type Battery Charger 12V/24V 6AH-200AH MF-2C to charge the battery. Then, use a Car Cigarette Lighter 3 Way Auto Socket to provide 12VDC outputs (preferably with an ON/OFF switch on each port) and a Universal Dual Car USB Charger Adapter to provide 5VDC outputs?by habibie - Off-Topic

Just some updates. During the last 2016 11.11 sales, I bought some items from AliExpress as shown below. I already received and tested them. They work like the one I have, except these two have additional functions to show Wattages. The item #1 below I received looks like is for Chinese markets because some of its menu are in Chinese. So far, I like item #2 below much better. USB tester 3~30Vby habibie - Off-Topic
