Huh?

What are your intentions? If your looking at network storage just use an old comp. or a thin client. like: fit-PC2 Wiki

Or, HP Compaq t5700 Thin Client - World Wide QuickSpecs

Get ya one of these bad boys Newegg.com - Seagate STDSA10G-RK FreeAgent DockStar Network Adapter - Network Storage (NAS)

or even better would be one of these it has a built in drive and usb ports ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

this one only has dual usb ports
ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

but honestly you'd be better off setting up a simple nas box and throwing the drives in there.

I use a Dlink DNS-323 NAS storage box, and if you are willing to play with the Linux OS it runs, you can use a USB hub and connect multiple USB drives to the single USB port.

I have a hub on mine and have one USB drive I use for backup of the files on the NAS,and two other USB drives I use for temp storage.

More info about the free fun_plug addons for that NAS storage box.

Cheers
Mick
