A number of ways to share files between two computers.
1. A home network does not require an external device. On windows xp, and vista as well i believe, it is called workgroup and this allows you to designate which folders you want to share with other computers in the same workgroup. In windows 7 it is called a homegroup
2. A NAS, network attached storage device might be what you're looking for. It's basically a small server attached to your network over wireless or ethernet and you can drop files into the NAS's hard drives. Most have 2 or more hard drive bays so you can expand the storage capacity if you run out.
and there are more but these two are the ones i think most people will use

Printers, faxes, scanners and certain network storage devices can be shared by multiple computers on the same network. Hubs, switches, and routers are usually not considered to be shared devices - rather they are considered to be part of the network infrastructure like the cables.
