Good external memory?

If I went for 2 back-up systems, are there any external memory discs/SSD that I could plug in elsewhere in the house* and add to my network via a router without having to add any more hardwear?

You need some kind of 'server' (processor) with the disk in order to share it across your network. Assuming you don't want to attach it to another PC, I think you need to be looking for "NAS" (network attached storage) which has a basic processor combined with a disk unit (and possibly built-in wifi). Obviously this is more expensive than just a disk drive.
 
500gb external hard drive

Hi Sindrome, I have had a look around but cant find a definative on your question :( I've been looking at a 500gb external hard drive on that site. I want to know if Ican plug it into my xbox360 and then watch videos on my tv? Some sites say you need upnp and othersdont mention it. Any ideas if I need to check for upnp or not?
Many thanks.
 
Hi Palfrem, I was thinking of now going for a 1tb external hard drive as the price jump from 500gb is hardly anything. Have you tried plugging this into an xbox360 and then playing movies? I've done it with a usb stick so I think it should also work from a usb hard drive :)
