Maybe you mean those with an ethernet plug and a cpu, supporting samba and 
sometimes some functions requiring windows. Some can be directly connected 
to Internet, too. They may have also an USB plug (client and/or server).

I also read of an Iomega or Seagate (not sure which) disk that when it 
went to sleep was not awake-able from Linux, only from windows, because it 
returned to life in USB version 1, ie, lower speed. It was commented here 
some months ago.
