Ironic, on the plane home yesterday I thought about how cool it would be and didn't know if anyone already made this possible. But, a wireless, external HDD would be cool. I wanted to stick one in my closet to use for extra storage with my laptop. I guess I'll be doing that soon. Does anyone know if this already exists? They discuss it in the story, but I don't know if it is in production.
 
Ok, is there a way to make a, say, 200Gb HDD wireless? The ones I found are about 40Gb and cost around $300.
 
I imagine you could probably swap the 40 gig hard drive out for a larger drive. And I bet most of that $300 is for the wireless/ide adapter bits, not for the drive. Interesting idea, though. You could always just get a shitty old computer, throw a couple big drives and a wireless card in it, and have pretty much the same thing, and it would probably be cheaper, too(depending on how many drives you put in it). Only thing is it would most likely use more power than an off-the-shelf wireless drive device.
 
why would you want to use a wireless hdd?

get a external with lan and do that.

much better speeds and no worry about dropouts.
