[danagol]

does such a thing as an external hard drive that many computers can access to share folders ect exist?

it would be good if one of these came ready for use with usb cables to attach to the pcs

My brother has 3 computers in his house, pluggs his network attached storage device into his router, and it broadcasts wirelessly. He has all of his music on there, instead of multiple copys on each PC, if you follow me...

LOL yea, there are some large storage types out there, most of the time you will see terrabytes on SAN's or database servers.
