Hi, I am looking for an external storage device/solution that fits the following requirements
1. It is portable
2. Supports USB, once connected, it becomes an external harddisk.
3. Supports cable network, once connected, it becomes some kind of file server, which I can upload and download files, both within LAN and outside with FTP/HTTP.
4. Support 2 and 3 simultaneously. So it has to support multi streaming.
optional. Better to support Wi-Fi rather than cable, in case there is no network/router, I can use ad-hoc.
Point is, I have 1 desktop not connected to network, it needs this external storage through USB (2.). While connecting to my desktop, this external storage also connects to the network, so that my laptops can access it either through LAN (3.)or Wi-Fi ad-hoc (4). Good thing is I can take it with me to my work (1.).
I dont know if there is such product or solution exists. The closest is a Wi-Fi USB hubs with external HD attached. But this does not provide 2 and 3 simultaneously.
