Re: Sharing Multiple USB HDs - can be done!
Yes, it is a good feature of an Airport Extreme. It should be noted that although you can share multiple drives this way through a hub you can not make one of those drives a Time Machine drive and effectively convert to a Time Capsule.

Thank you Severin Yes TimeMachine is handled by a separate LAN cabled HD via AirPort Extreme, the trial HD I connected to the usb port hasn't shown up so I will have to look for a setting somewhere...

Brian, I think there is something in the setting up sequence of Airport Extreme but I do not recall where. I set this up though I am not currently using it.

Severin, You could be correct on that one it said something about that when I re-downloaded the user-guide, I may have to re-setup the Airport again.
