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!

We'd love to see a wireless version too!

Would be interesting if you can plug in a Hub and then use multiple HDD's on the Hub.

Because for 55$ you easy get a HDD Case with embedded USB, Ethernet, Firewire, e-SATA...

According to the manual:

Note: Any external USB storage device that you connect to the NAS
adapter will initially be required to be formatted. This means, if you
are connecting an external USB drive with data on it, the hard drive
will be formatted erasing all the information.

Why no Gigabit Ethernet. All most good but still crap!
