External hard drives Updated December 14, 2005 Now that your home office is established and working for you, it's time to look at some nonessential items that will make your work life easier. You can never have enough storage space, and an external hard drive is a quick and easy way to add digital storage space without taking up a lot of physical space. If you have more than one person working in your home office, or if you just have more than one computer, consider a network-attached storage drive. It will let you share files and folders among any computers on your network. |

| Review summary | This is a very nice NAS box for small to medium-size businesses, but its setup may be problematic. | LaCie's RAID-capable external hard drive array puts an enormous amount of storage within reach of even small company budgets, but the Buffalo TeraStation offers a more compelling package at an even lower price point. | This is a very nice NAS box for small to medium-size businesses, but its setup may be problematic. | Consumer NAS drives don't get classier or easier than the Maxtor Shared Storage Plus, but we'd like to see Gigabit Ethernet on it. |
