I am using the HH3 USB port with a 32Gb pen drive as a simple and useful way to make some network storage available to all computers in my home.
In this way we can drop off and pick up files and then not have to rely on a.n.other computer being switched on when we want to move files around.
A couple of questions -
First ... is it OK to leave the stick in all the time? That is, it will be always powered?
The other thing, is this drive "safe" given that the HH3 may be hosting BT FON or OpenZone people? I know their sessions are independent, but could they possibly gain access to the usb stick?
All in all, if this is all OK, then I think this is a great way to provide some network storage, without having an external USB drive always spinning. (This is why I went to a decent size stick - 64Gb are still silly prices, but 32Gb are cheap as chips now.)
Cheers,
Rob
