Hello, I have a D-link DIR 655 router that can support an external hard disk through a USB port.
Currently, I have a 2 TB WD Elements connected to the desktop. My desptop and 2 laptops are connected to the router wirelessly and are part of a homegroup. I store all documents and relevant files on the 2 TB disk and not on the individual device hard disks.
My qtn is: Is there an advantage to connecting this common storage 2 TB hard disk to the router rather than desktop?
ps: The desktop is on 24X7, so access to the hard disk is never a problem.
