I've been looking into getting a NAS server but TBH they're a bit pricey.

Is it possible to plug, say, a 3TB external drive into my SH3 and use that as a media 'server' to stream files using kodi via my FireTV, similar to a NAS?

Just looking for a cheaper option.

Well from reading around this sub it looks like i could be buying an asus router as it has an active USB and putting the SH3 into modem mode.

I tried to find a USB to ethernet converter but they all seem to be ethernet to USB.

It's still a lot cheaper than a NAS, don't think my mrs would wear me spending about £300 on one, even if she had the boxset of Nashville on demand :-)

And after checking an ASUS page it said the max file size is 8GB, even under NTFS? Surely this can't be right??
