Ok thats my Appartments set up- give or take a load more tablets and radio and other devices.
Im quite a noob at all this but does this work ?
If i get an external USB3 Hard Drive plug it into the routers port, share it will all my other devices be able to access the " porn" it contains ?
All of the devices will be using PLEX, or if you have a better alternative please suggest. THIS SHOULD BE FINE WITH NO PCS Switched ON ?
Im not sure the Chromecast will work is there something i can flash onto it to give it PLEX too ?
IS it a viable setup or should i just look into a NAS ? I can probably get a 2TB one on the cheap, maybe even cheaper than a 2TB external drive... It seems the best answer to me maybe......??
Am i understanding this correctly or am i fundamentally missing something.
