Network an external HDD

smcelhinney · 2006-11-10 19:50:27

Any gadgets around that will do this? The HDD is a 300Gb Firewire/USB External HDD and I want to network it, without having it hooked up to a PC permanently. Any ideas?

Netgear's SC101 works very well, see:

It takes two standard 3.5" IDE HDDs, which can be setup as mirrored or spanned,
