The examples you have provided are of computer networks. A USB cable is not a computer network, no matter how much you think it should be.

Indeed, USB assumes a dumb device on one end and a controlling system on the other. In addition the commonly used file systems don't support multiple writers at all, even without the caching isues. I wish firewire had won, at least it was peer to peer. Though last time I saw a drive that worked with multi-writers was VMS clusters.... and SCSI drives on minis.
Maybe they should not have offered the options of 'mounting' the device as a usb storage device? That would solve the issue in what is probably the only feasable way over a usb cable and windows pc file ssytems. They could just run a fileserver on the device and make you use the wireless I suppose.
