Hi there,
I am fairly new to hardware and networking, but fairy computer literate.
I am wanting to set up a simple network that will allow people in my house to save to an external hard drive.
We currently have the following in the house:
- 2 PCs
- 2 Laptops
What I would like to do is have an external hard drive connected that we can save files to and have a few questions:
- What would be the best process in achieving this?
- The hard drive is a USB so would the PC/laptop that its connected to need to be powered on all the time?
- What other hardware/software would I need?
Any advice and suggestions would be great, thanks!
