    Hard disk multiple access

    by azerelgamiel · about 3 years, 5 months ago

    hello all, I have this thing that has been troubling me for a while, I need to access my 3.5 hard disk using USB and LAN in the same time, most of the products are using one method only.
    is it possible to have both connections active?

    also to be clear , the reason for that I need to connect the hard drive to my tv via usb and to copy downloaded files from my computer to the drive without disconnecting and reconnecting

      Mainly because the TV is not part of a LAN and probably more importantly unless you have a Actively Cooled Enclosure the HDD is going to overheat and die very quickly.

      These devices are not meant to be on all of the time and they get very hot which hurts the HDD.
