Sneakernet, while a clever name, is a slow and outdated method of moving and sharing files. Enter networked hard drives: simply plug in one of these external hard drives to an available Ethernet port on your router and voilà, centralized storage for everyone on your network. Network-attached storage devices range from the most basic (hard drive plus Ethernet) to terabyte RAID arrays that protect your data through redundancy and mirroring. You can set up partitions for each user or divide the drive by files types. If you’re worried about other people snooping in your personal business, many networked drives will allow you to set up password-protected folders or partitions. Share what you want and hide the rest away.
