Hey All,
I had recently purchased a Pogoplug series 4 so I can utilize a 1tb Seagate external drive that was going unused. I was thinking of just getting a NAS enclosure or another NAS hard drive but why waste the extra money when I could turn the Seagate external drive into a NAS with the Pogoplug series 4. I have a 10+ year old Comp that I was using as a HTPC, and streaming files from that to other devices started to become a PIA. Plus my comp didn't have a good enough storage as 1TB does.
So I attained video files to which I had then put onto the Seagate external drive which is connected to the series 4. The only issue I ran into was trying to move more than one file, I used the mapping function of the software and was moving files by dragging and dropping them. The transfers was complete and I decided to DELETE them off my PC since they were taking up space that I was in need of. The files still appeared on the Seagate drive until the other day I noticed all of the files I moved over the network were gone. Now just the prior day I was able to utilize and access them.
Now being alarm, I connected the external drive straight to my PC using USB so that I can run tests on it and see where these files were. I checked and made sure they were not hidden. I ran an Antivirus check on the drive which came back that it was clean. I then ran a file recovery software on the drive to which it came back with nothing in regards to these files I had on it.
Now I am also posting this question on the pogoplug community to see if they have any advice to what just happened since their is no trace to the files that I placed onto the external hard drive that was connected to the series 4.
