Connecting USB-Hub to Airport Extreme / Time Capsule

Hi There,

I'm switching to a MBP therefore I'm looking for a solution for my external drives. I know that AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule support USB2.0 connection. But there is only one slot.

So my question: does it support an USB hub so I can add more external USB 2TB's to my network and find the drives as network disks?

ATM I have my iMac with 4 external drives and Apple TV that has the shared iTunes Media Library over wifi with home sharing.

Another solution is buying a NAS. Any thoughts?

With Regards, Paul

Welcome to Apple Support Communities

All Time Capsules and AirPort Extremes support a USB 2.0 hub, so this is a valid option. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2421?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
