Plug Creates a Unified Hard Drive Across all the Mobile Devices You Own

Forget transporting unfinished work by way of thumb drive or e-mail; this is the second decade of the 21st century and professionals like you ought to start leveraging contemporary technology to eliminate such asinine tasks. The gadget known simply as Plug redesigns the way content is stored by creating one centralized drive accessible by all Wi-Fi–enabled devices you own. Now you can fiddle with the same content regardless of the device you're using.

Unlike cloud services such as DropBox, which act as virtual USB drives, Plug emulates one centralized storage location that replaces the proprietary disk space on individual devices, thereby eliminating the need to manually copy files from one place to another. All files are stored on designated drives connected to Plug rather than on a third party cloud.

Plug resolves the organizational issue of having your -content scattered across multiple devices. No longer will you have to waste valuable time fumbling to find that important PowerPoint presentation; Plug unifies storage space so each device in your network has access to one data set regardless of the device’s own storage capacity. This means that all documents, pictures, music, and videos are accessible by your smartphone, laptop, tablet, etc.

NEED EVEN MORE STORAGE?!
Plug is the hard drive equivalent of that weird uncle who taught you all those cool things your parents didn’t want you knowing when you were little. For each additional hard drive connected to Plug, your net storage capacity effectively increases, altogether eliminating the need for paid cloud storage services. Any subsequent device accessing Plug taps directly into the overall storage network. Connect eight 1-terabyte drives and suddenly you’ve got an iPhone with 8 terabytes of storage space. Pair this with a smartphone that uses a built in projector, and now you’re a walking movie theater. How’s that for badass?

Backup, backups everywhere
Plug is a backup aficionado; the device stores a file copy each time a modification takes place, ensuring important documents are protected from absent minded errors. If you’re extra enthusiastic about securing content, consider using a second Plug to back up the first, and paid cloud service to cover both Plugs.

Secured and protected against noisy eyes
One of the sacrifices of using U.S.-based cloud services is the adherence to punishing terms of agreements. Providers do not guarantee privacy or ownership, and can be forced under subpoenas to disclose all customer content.

Because Plug uses your own hardware, no one else can see your content.

Conversely, Plug stores data on your own physical hard drives and creates a private network accessible only to you or those authorized by you. Because of the proximity to most devices, data transfer rates are 60% faster than cloud services when at home. Furthermore, Plug is patched regularly to keep up to date with security trends. The developers claim the device is as secure as private datacenters.

Stream all content
The interwoven nature of Plug’s storage network allows media streaming across all Wi-Fi–enabled devices. Access all video content from a set-top box connected to TV or listen to your music library from on anywhere provided there’s internet.

In the anticipation of lacking Internet because you’re visiting Antarctica or the Grand Canyon then all you need to do is select offline mode for the specific content you want to access and it’ll download onto the actual device's storage to make it accessible.
