@a7 the hard drive is on but i don't think its connected to my pi

derp

i was hoping on doing it like this so there could be shared storage between both pis but i might just get a usb key

fyi pi people switches are a great investment so you don't have to constantly plug and unplug and wear out the power port

@georgia I don't think that charger functons as a hub if that's what you're asking. You'd need a powered usb hub or switch for that.
