Anybody know of any decent wireless external hard drives around the 1Tb size ? I was looking at the Freecom 1Tb Datatank on dabs.com and seems to have good reviews. Seems to have gone up in price recently though .... that pesky pound again no doubt.

Well no, actually. I've got my PC and the missus laptop with video and all. You'd be surprised how quickly it all builds up.Comment

I've got a couple of 1.5 Tb Maxtors. They're not wireless though. I wouldn't trust my wireless network to transfer any serious amount of data.Comment

Why would the storage need to be wireless?
I use a Netgear ReadyNAS which is connected wired into my network, but laptops can access it through the wireless router.Comment

To be honest I'd want my drives on a hard wired network, where I can upload to them, back them up etc, and then use wireless to serve up data on demand.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

1Tb is what you said in your original post, which is 128GB.
I also don't understand why you'd want wireless. Just connect it to a wireless router and have the benefit of both.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

I prefer wired network too as even 1 Gbits is not fast enough if you copy a lot of data (many terabytes).Comment
