Why do you need the external drive at all? Put a drive inside the box and copy your files to it from your external drive and then share it that way. That's kind of the idea.

Yes, I know and I will do that eventually. However, I need to know if it works with an external HDD for now!

Yes it will work externally that person is just overly enthusiastic trying to get you to use the drives internally.
QNAP have eSATA/USB ports so the external drive can be no different from an internal drive.

I'm having a problem with my SMB shares, I can play all content correctly if I browse to it, but BB does not index it...
When I go view the "Sources" it says the folders are disconnected... The shares are password protected, but after giving the credentials the 1 time he didn't ask for them again, and i can access everything by browsing manually...
Did any of you change SMB any settings? I'm on a 410
edit:
I just read this thread: http://forums.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=22127&page=2
And checked my settings, didn't have local master browsing enabled, and my guest account had a password.
Changed it on the NAS remotely, will check if BB does scan correctly now...
