Engadget points us to a great little tool that just came out of the gate. Addonics NAS (network attached storage) adapter is a little block with Gigabit Ethernet in and USB out. This basically allows any and all of your USB HDD's and USB Sticks a free (or $55 retail) ride on your network. It has SMB and FTP so it works on Mac but AFP would be a bit better. Maybe in a firmware update?
We'll put it in the 9to5mac.com/toys as soon as it hits stores.
Great idea!
