Norman Speight appears to have it right in that the devices shown may serve other devices wirelessly, but they are wired to a router or some other device. Like Speight says, how about a truely wireless hard disk?

I do like the look of the Apple Time Capsules, but they do tend to break after about 18 months…which isn’t exactly what you’re after out of something that’s supposed to back up all your important data and never die.

For me, Everyone seems to be off the point on Wireless Hard Drives.
I am looking for a wireless connected hard drive which will go into a room which has NO computer, NO Router, in fact nothing but a ‘whatever it is’ that has an antenna in a box which is connected to a PSU which in turn is connected to the main supply.
NO USB, NO Ethernet, NO Router in fact, nothing but itself and a wireless transmitter capable of being addressed by anything within range as an address such as 192.168.0.???
Isn’t rocket science – is it?
I intentionally haven’t said why this is what I want because I’m not inviting any ‘alternative’ or ‘suggested ways’ in which this could be done using any other drive connection. In other words I’ve no interest in any alternative.
Is such a thing available. All reports I’ve ever seen are not in fact wireless connected as they pretend to be, but instead cable connected at some point or in some way. Like ALL the ones above, in case you don’t ask.

yes, the Apple time Capsule drives work wonderfully with both PC’s and laptops, Windows, or Mac (and even Linux – like Ubuntu).
