I understand that there is such a thing as NAS, which uses the network. 

Is there a way to connect, say 2 PCs, to one standalone storage harddive using ie external SATA, USB 3.0, thunderbolt, at the same time 24/7?

Put it on one PC, connect the two PC over ethernet and share the drive.

But the PC with the drive allways have to be running to access the HDD.

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil

This is what HomeGroup was built for.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!
