Hi guys!

Thinking about getting a NAS HDD to use as a backup and print server. To be precise, I'm thinking about getting one of those Western Digital Netcenter ones, probably the 250 GB model. This is a general question though, as I'm not sure yet which one to get.

Most of the NAS HDDs have 2 USB ports, I want to connect 2 printers, 1 scanner and possible a second HDD to it later on, though. Could I just plug a USB-Hub into the thing and go from 2 usb ports to 6 for instance?

Sorry, I didn't see this mentioned anywhere and I guess the answer to this should be pretty short! :)

TIA
Oliver
 
most don't accept a hub, and many scanners and printers may not work correctly as a networked (shared) device. check with the manufacturer.
