Anyone got a setup with this? Wifi router that allows a USB hard-drive to be shared on the network? Something like:

Ideal for what I want, wondering about NZ availability and pricing?

Haven't ever used such things myself (all our storage is server-bound), but what people who have tried tell me is that performance varies wildly depending on how good the implementation is.

why not keep the wifi and the NAS separate?
ps cheap NASs are slow as fuck better to buy a cheap 2nd hand comp for $100 imo.

ps some require the usb drive to be formatted for linux so chances are you cant us it as a normal usb drive on your comp too.
windows wont let you format FAT32 beyond 32gigs but theres ways around that.

Unless you're talking 802.11n Wifi then I wouldn't bother.

And regardless, why not? g is perfectly capable of at the very least a 720p stream.
