looking for hard drive to share over wifi

[bmorris]

So I got a Google TV since I like the way it integrates with my DVR.
It has the option for a 2TB FAT32 USB hard drive.
I would love to use that to store my music and movies and be able to access them on the Google TV.

But I use my TimeCapsule to store my movies, music, and iTunes library bc we have two MacBooks that share our iTunes library.


Is there a hard drive that be accessed both via USB (for Google TV) and Wifi (for MacBooks)?

Or does anyone know how to connect a Google TV to a wifi hard drive, like the WD Live drive?

Can't you get any network drive and plug it into the time capsule? I have a buffalo NAS that is plugged into my AEBS.

Keep in mind that FAT32 has a limitation on file size. It's basically limited to 4GB.

USB drives on the TC/AEBS must be formatted in HFS to work. If the Google TV requires FAT32, then this will not work.

Google TV doesn't seem to find network drives.

if Google TV can't find anetwork drive, then I think you have your answer right there. There probably isn't a hard drive application that is going to work for you.
