"The device is based on Marvell 88F6192 chip with ARM V5 CPU clocked  
at 800Mhz with 128 RAM and runs Linux."

which matches what is said here:
http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2109&p=11318
"Thank you for contacting Pogoplug Support. We are using a Marvell  
88F6192 chip with ARM V5 CPU 800Mhz and 128 ram"

And someone posted a link to a promo price for it (50 dollars)

Click both, fix qty, update, and boom. 50% off plus free shipping.

However the Marvell 88F6192 although listed at 800mhz doesn't have  
usb3 native, so maybe they added a pcie-usb3 chip to it or the SoC has  
been updated?
