Is there such a thing as network attached storage that lets you plug in other USB drives?

Posted by Reagen (aka Reagen) Feb 12 '09, 20:25

that won't cost a first-born?

Responses:

Yeah--- oh. Well, in that case, no. In terms of NAS, I'm very much leaning towards the HP MediaSmart Server. -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 21:20
I'm pretty sure (50%) my Buffalo Linkstation allows that. -- nm - Max Feb 12, 21:03 2
- Is this what you have? -- (link) - Reagen Feb 12, 21:19
- how can 50% be "pretty" sure? -- nm - pigby Feb 12, 21:15
What exactly are you looking to accomplish? -- nm - Subversive - daddy x 2 Feb 12, 20:55 4
- set up network storage and hook up my existing (non-networked) external drive to it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 21:10 3
  - Looks like the buffalo drives can do that, like max said. However, they start at about $400 and go up at tigerdirect.ca - Subversive - daddy x 2 Feb 12, 21:13 2
    - what about a USB over ethernet server? - Reagen Feb 12, 21:33
    - ~ two buffalo drives go round the outside, round the outside, round the outside ~ -- nm - pigby Feb 12, 21:21
probably, but I cannot remember the names of them right now. - tRuMaN Feb 12, 20:32 4
- that's basically what I'm doing right now, but it's not going to be convenient forever for a number of uninteresting reasons. -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 20:33 3
  - what reasons? -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 12, 20:35 2
    - old, slow computer is one of them. -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 20:37 1
      - probably cheaper to buy a new cheap computer than the nas drives that have this feature. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 12, 21:15
