I currently have a Bluesound Node with a USB hard drive connected to it. If I were to add a Powernode and plug the hard drive into the Powernode, would I be able to able to play music from that hard drive through the Node? 

Little background:

I've been trying to put the hard drive on a spare computer and share it through a network, but the node isn't indexing the drive. It will index when plugged directly into the node. I'm wanting to use the node USB as an output to an external DAC, which I'm currently doing. I'm trying to think of other solutions to keep the hard drive playable and maintain the USB from the node as an output. Also, I'm looking to purchase a Powernode for a second system. If I could take the Powernode and plug the USB hard drive into it, could play the music from that hard drive on the original node?

  This will not work - connect your local storage to a network source - here is why; https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360000465747
