It seems as if the company has two main offerings:
* Cloud based storage for a monthly fee
* A device that will turn a user's own external hard drives into a private cloud, where the user pays a flat fee for the device (no subscription costs) and then pays for the cost of external storage
That is correct.

I have a 3TB USB3 drive attached to the PogoPlug device (I paid $20 for it). I can access all the files on the drive via mobile app or website. You can also assign a drive letter to the drive, which is useful for your daily computering and/or CrashPlan backups.
