Will useing a usb to RJ45 adapter allow me to connect an external NAS hard drive to the BT homehub?

Surely a NAS drive will have an ethernet port on it already? Which would simply plug into an ethernet port on the HomeHub.

So just exactly what make and model of drive do you have?

I use a Zyxel NSA310 NAS with the BT Homehub. It is a simple entry level 1-bay NAS which connects by ethernet cable to the hub but is a very capable device. They are only £50 now but you have to add your own 3.5" sata drive at what ever capacity you require.

I use it to hold all my music, photos and some videos to share throughout the household.

Any Synology NAS products are excellent. Their 1 bay NAS is relatively cheap (add your own 3.5 inch HDD).
Forget about connecting by usb though, ethernet is the way to go.
