USB Router/Server for USB External Drive?

[StarsFan4Life]

I have an IOGEAR 500gb usb that contains all my music, video, pictures, everything. I want to share them on the network but don't want the computer that it is currently plugged into to be on all the time. With that said, if the main computer in the house isn't on, the files are not accessible.

Is there a certain type of wireless router or something that I can add to my network to have this accessible all the time? Something like a wireless router with a USB input or something?

Might be a dumb but valid question....

You have to buy a NAS that works with external USB Hard Drive and plug the HD into it.

Do not ask me which NAS. I despise all of them and use a computer based on VIA C-7 and Windows Home server instead.

But NAS' are here, http://www.newegg.com/Product/...24&bop=And&Order=PRICE
