I am such a dunce :D
Ok, I know that I've seen a thread here somewhere where somebody talks a about an external HDD which can be plugged into the back of a router (or other network card) and which can then be accessed via the router as though it were another network drive.
I seem to remember that the one mentioned also had a USB port for connecting a printer to.
Anybody know what I'm on about here?

There are hundreds of manufacturers that have NAS devices on the market.

No he's not, he's talking about network storage.

Nope, this was exactly like a normal external HHD (like one that you would normally plug into a USB port on your PC / Laptop) except this one plugs into an ethernet port and has USB connection for a printer built in to it.
Thanks though.

It was also a h*ll of a lot cheaper than that one  (I think)
