Thinking of buying a wireless hard drive so I can put all the music and movies on we own so that it can be streamed around the house and listened to via the sonos app

Any drawbacks to doing it this way and if so whats a better idea?

Does your wireless router let you connect a HD via USB and it will mount it as a network drive?

We do this with an Airport Extreme.

I have a friend who has a network drive connected to his router via ethernet which other devices can see. I have all my media on my Mini which I can home-share to Apple TV's

I was looking at the Western digital cloud 2 tb thingy !!

I think it connects to my router via a cable and then all my devices can stream from it.

Im hoping to stream music to my sonos set up and also movies to various tvs around the house. will this work ?
