I know that you cannot connect an external hard disk drive to the USB port and share it wirelessly between your laptops but is it possible to connect an ethernet HDD or RAID style system to the ethernet port and share wirelessly?? The HDD's I have in mind would be something like the Lacie rackmount 2TB drive:

My ideal situation would be to have one Express connected to the modem (in the kitchen), and another Express in the study connected to a printer (via USB port) and external HDD (via ethernet port).

Can this be done?? Thank-you!
