I'm a noob at this. I have a cable modem connected up to my Airport Extreme, which provides our wireless network at home. We have an iMac in our bedroom and a Mac-mini in another room for the kids to use. We also have laptops (WIN and Mac) which sometimes we use at home as well.
Anyway, I want to setup a central storage drive to use for file storage and backup, no streaming or anything fancy. My kids have lots of pic files, etc.
Could I just hook up any HD to the USB port of the AE? Would that show up as a shared drive for all the wireless network users?
Is there a better way, without having to spend $$$?
Thx,
Fred
