    If you have a computer on the network, you can just plug the drive into it and share the contents via a file share or media streaming. How you go about doing that depends on the OS.

    If you don't want to use a computer, you can get NAS enclosures that do the same thing.

    One very important thing to consider is the speed of your network.
