What is a USB WiFi dongle device that can emulate virtual mass storage device for home video player?

Sorry this is kinda of an oldball question

Is there any device that I could configure (wireless or wired (prefer wireless) to a network drive on my home server. and have it display the contents to another device (roku) as a usb hard drive

I suspect not but I'm not even sure what to call/google this thing so I thought I would ask the bright folks here.

  • I'm not quite clear from your wording what you're meaning here... Do you mean that you are looking for a device that you can plug a USB drive into and have it share that drive out through the network for you? – Majenko Apr 07 '11 at 15:02
  • the opposite. I want to put stuff on a shared folder on my computer. and the device (which only accepts usb thumb drives) to be able to read whats there. – Crash893 Apr 07 '11 at 15:16
  • Interesting... so you're looking for a wireless CIFS client that emulates a USB Mass Storage Device... Never heard of one, but there's no reason why it wouldn't be possible. – Majenko Apr 07 '11 at 15:19
  • Actually, I can think of one thing making it very hard - USB MSD is a block-level protocol - CIFS is file level. You'd need a custom server on your computer sharing a block device image, and some way to put files into that image. – Majenko Apr 07 '11 at 15:21
  • yes im looking for the opposite of this http://www.eye.fi/ to usb. This is for my roku media player that for some damn fool reason only takes usb but won't connect to any of my shared drives over the intranet. – Crash893 Apr 07 '11 at 15:22
  • Question isn't too odd, it's been asked before. :) – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Apr 07 '11 at 18:02
