Network Drive

[Attean]

My roomates and I are working on a mod and a lot of little group projects and are constantly lagging eachothers computers by pulling files. What's the best (relatively cheap) network hard drive?

Oh and incidentally, gigabit router...

Thanks man! Perfect price range, far better than i expected. Hey on that switch is it possible to have that route the internet or will we have to set up a gateway computer?

That is a Gigabit switch, not a router, so it will not route on it's own.

You can pair that with a cheap router though (10/100) and still have gigabit internally.
