Re: Ethernet Hard Drive
Depedning on the usage i would go with a PC with multiple drives, in a raid..... If its only light usage, then yes one of these ethernet hard disks will be sufficient, if its gonna be somewhere 1 PC is gonna download stuff to all the time and other PCs access then its gonna need some hard drive brains, which the ethernet devices certainly dont have.....

That reminds me of the Swiss Army knife. Lose a knife, bottle opener, cork screw, file etc etc etc. in one go... 'I need to buy a new router, as my hard drive developed some bad sectors'

Re: Ethernet Hard Drive
I paid £110 for 2x250GB Western Digital drives off ebuyer and then stuck them in an old PIII pc I got for nothing, 500gb storage for £110. Works great too.
