So...I've decided, I want to move my storage local to the N100. A) it'll eliminate the occasional stutter, from my 12-drive array spinning up; and b) it'll make AMM available...without a computer to host it.
I'm concerned about noise...and for this reason, would prefer a 2.5" solution (I know in theory, some say 2.5" are noisier than 3.5s; but to my ears...my WD Passports are quiet as a mouse). Thing is...I want to be able to access this drive, from the network; in other words...when I want to move files to it, I don't want to have to detach it, drag it to another machine, etc. In other words...network-attached.
I don't see any Passport-type drives, that allow for a wired connection (don't really want to go wireless; but maybe I guess). Here's my question...and I can test it myself I guess, but I was just wondering if anyone has already been down the same road and could comment: if you attach a USB drive to the N100...can you then network-access it, through the Aurender?
