Hi everyone
I have a mbp, and I need a new router.
I want to share a 3TB hdd via that router. I want to use that shared hdd to download torrents directly to it using uTorrent, and stream those HD torrents to other laptops. I'm deciding between Airport Extreme and Asus rt-n66u.
I'm inclined to buy the Asus router, from what i read it's faster for write/read and streaming. It's a bit cheaper too.
So these are my questions:
1. Will it be easy to access a shared hdd in Finder? Like Airdisk?
2. Do I need to mount the hdd every time I start the computer?
3. Will uTorrent/Transmission work saving directly to the shared hdd? I think the hdd must be formatted to HFS+. Someone can confirm if FAT32 works too? (Because Asus rt will not support HFS+ I think).
Thanks
