I kept seeing all sorts of network drive enclosures / NAS devices on Taobao,
and couldn’t help but want to buy one just for fun :P
But… no money.
So I had a sudden idea—why not just connect a regular hard drive directly to my Pi?
I set it up using Apache2 as a WebDAV server.
On Windows, I mounted it locally using RaiDrive—turning it into a perfectly usable network drive.
Add a USB hub, and you can attach even more drives—maybe even set up RAID0 someday :)
