Print Serer USB hub

[Chicken #16]

Is it possible to use a print server as "network attached storage"? Can you daisy chain a USB hub on one?

The reason I ask is I have 3 external HDDs and hate having to leave my pc on when I wish to watch something on my laptop.

If not, is there something similarly priced that would fit the bill? I'm sort of thinking £20-30.

Thanks

ok...if anyone is interested I found that Belkin do a usb network hub (connects to your router via ethernet) but seems a little pricey at about £50.

Anyone know of something cheaper?
