Dick Montage Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 NAS Enclosure is what you want! Expect to pay about ?40 on eBay. Don't expect wonders from it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rageagainstmachine Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 i was wondering if something more primitive exists. not sure if this would do what i want? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sewell-Gigaglider-USB-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B00B5JKTBA/ref=sr_1_16?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1362165915&sr=1-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted March 1, 2013 MVC Share Posted March 1, 2013 You could just buy a pogoplug - I picked one up a while ago for like $20 US.. Can connect multiple USB devices to it bit it flash or hdd, not very big. Simple to use, comes with cloud storage as well. Or if you want can get jiggy with it and install ARCH linux, etc. and do all kinds of fun stuff with it. Part of the reason I grabbed it. Here is one for your region under 30 -- but its pink ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekkidtruth Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 That device requires drivers to be installed. Not something that can be done to an external hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
