Have a question on network storage...

So I want to pop a 250gig into my laptop that should be coming in the mail today (yay), but my dilemma is that I want to take the 1tb out of said laptop, and pop it into a case, plug it into my router (Some relatively advanced ASUS router) and use it for network storage.

That's all fine and dandy, my problem is that I would also like to use the HD for my Xbox one. Both are right next to each other so thats not the issue, the question is can I find a case that has two USB ports and functions properly, or can I use the storage via windows/xbox which is a different problem that I have no idea on. Also dont know if XOne is just NTFS or you have to specially format it, then the issue comes if I could partition it and get it to work.

Any insight would be great.
 
You're not going to find a USB HDD case that has two upstream USB ports. The reason being that DAS has no concurrency protocols built into USB or SATA. (It might be possible with firewire, if your two devices supported that, but I'm fairly certain that's not the case.)

best thing i can think of.
 
What you're describing is a shared-disk clustered file system.

You can't really do this with your set-up.

Buy another hard drive. They're cheap 😛
