Q: Home Sharing - Hard Drive

I currently have itunes installed on my laptop - which i no longer use as my primary device.  I tend to use my ipad as the laptop is bulky & not really fit for purpose.  I also have an external hard drive which has a back up of my itunes library.  I know that i can access my library by home sharing from the laptop via my ipad but this means that the laptop needs to be on, which isn't the perfect solution. 


What i want to know is, if i connect my external hard drive to the network & have this on permanently can i "switch on" home sharing & access my library stored on my hard drive via my ipad?

 

I also have Apple TV if this is an option to help with the connections.

iPad Air, iOS 9.3.1
