NAS adapter

I have been always desiring to have a NAS adapter and printer server so I can easily share and use both my USB printer and a USB hard disk from every corner in the house. I was doing that when I had a home server, but when it died I losed that functionality. Once of the main reasons to buy a new one was to have this option again, but today I have discovered in Xataka a little device: Addonics NAS Adapter.
This is just what I wanted: NAS adapter, little size, can power 2.5 inch. HDD directly, and USB print server. Files are shared by Samba or FTP client, and can act also as DHCP server. As a bonus it has a little bittorrent client which can track 4 torrents at a time, and download them to attached USB device. The only thing I would like to know if is using an USB hub both a printer and a HDD can be attached at the same time. If that can be done, then for only $55 we have a winner.
The only last wish… that it uses Linux in their core (probably).
