Q: Connecting a hard drive to an Extreme N
Using an Airport Extreme N:
1. Is there a way to connect 2 hard drives, one for a TM backup and one to share files?
2. Is there a way to access videos from a hard drive connected to the Extreme on an iPad?
3. Does playback of video from a connected hard drive slow down the entire network while it is being played?
Thanks!

Where does it display on a PC?
Sorry, I don't have a PC here to test, and this question was not included in your original post.
Apple's support document on this is here, but I cannot provide support on this.

Is connecting a drive to the Extreme not the best way to share video because it is USB based?
Correct, since data will transfer at about half the speed that it does compared to the data rate at a USB port on a computer.
