Hi,
I have a 27" MAC wireless, using airport extreme.
I've had an external desktop HD for backups, using TM, and I'd like to declutter my desk and have the HD networked.
I only want to use this as an external storage, and also for backup.
I know I could get a NAS for this but, that is way overkill and I'd would rather keep it simple. I have no plans to use NAS features.
Can I hang the HD off the USB port on my Airport router and use it that way?
That may be slow so, any other simple way to network a HD?
Thx
