Diokdin,

Functionally, they're the same. The dockstar hardware design has a 'slot' for a FreeAgent Go drive so it's a drop-in and GO connection. That was a choice by Seagate to show differentiation for their drives.

The firmware code works the same and you simply connect your USB hard drives (even more than 4 via powered USB hubs), register your PogoPlug/Dockstar on-line and you're set to go.
