Hi,

I have an idea but i am not sure it will work, perhaps someone can advise me.

I want to connect my bay external raid drive to my iMac via firewire 800 and to my time capsule via USB.

why i hear you ask? because this way i can get the faster speeds needed when working with files on my mac but my wife can still access videos and music and tv shows on the external drive when the mac is off or i am running win7 in bootcamp.

i use direct attached storage because i find it works more reliably with programs particularly iTunes. but i would love to still have access to the drive during the aforementioned scenarios.

thanks in advance
