Apologies, I'm not much of a technical wizard and although I've done some googling, I need some advice.

Simply, I'd like to be able to plug a hard drive into a wireless router and use it across the various computers on our home network. Most are Macs - doesn't really matter if the PC's not included but be a plus if it were.

I'm planning to either buy a router or get one free signing up to Virgin or Orange or whoever, so that's not such problem (although presumably some routers may not have the port - anything I should know?), but I've already got a hard drive - an Iomega UltraMax Desktop Hard Drive.

Question: Will this work?

Thanks.
