Read/Write to External Drive connected to NAS from networked computer. Possible?
Hi. I have a few questions about the RN31200 i've been looking to get for personal backup use. I am looking to be able to connect an external drive to the RN31200 and then read/write to the files ...
You can share a USB-connected drive on the NAS, although at least one poster has had trouble with HFS+ formatted disks.
You do need at least on internal drive installed on the NAS.
I don't think this is the best approach to sharing, I think it is better to copy the information to the NAS internal drives.
