hey guys, I have an external HDD . so i want to use that as my home network drive or something similar so all of our devices can access it. Even if my main computer is turned off. can u guys help me with this or point me to the direction of how i can do this?

 You can hook it up to your router, if you have USB ports. But I think this can hit or miss. Or you can buy some kind of NAS and connect the drive via Ethernet. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Another option is to use some type of Raspberry Pi and setup a SAMBA share on it pointing to the HDD.

 

If it'd be wireless the performance wouldn't be great but it'd get the job done.

Don't see what you need? Check the Full List or *PM me, if I haven't made it I'll add it to the list.

*NOTE: I'll only add it to the list if the request is something I know I can do.
