I'm planning on purchasing an external hdd which I am planning on networking through my router. At my work place during the summer when I connect to one of our server via an iMac, I log in using my credentials and then I'm given a choice of connecting to applications, documentation, movies, music etc. Is it possible to do this with an external hdd that I purchase by partitioning it or are those categories I am seeing separate servers? Thanks!
What is this called? And help setting it up

You mean like this. My Book Studio LX Hit the tab for WD Smartware.
This is something the macs display. After putting in my credentials on the mac to log into the server I get a scroll box with about 5 options ranging from movies to documentation. When I select the one I want I hit connect and a blue icon appears on my desktop. (mounting the server I guess)
