Have you ever wanted to turn a USB hard drive (or key) into a Wireless network storage device ? There is an interesting way to do this with a device called LaPlug.
LaPlug can be used to share personal files such as vacation or birthday photos with family and friends wirelessly. The device can stream multimedia content and back up multiple computers to one central location. Even better, all this functionality can be achieved with a USB hard drive(s) you may already have. All you need to do is to connect LaPlug to the network and connect the USB drive(s) to the LaPlug and you’ll have a Wireless network storage device. Moreover, you can connect a USB printer to the LaPlug and make it wirelessly available to all computers on the network. LaPlug also supports remote access.
