USB connectivity allows you to hook up to many USB gadgets to your computer, but this also messes up your desk with lots of USB cables going around. In order to be free from tangling wires that you hate most, the only way is to go wireless.
Here comes the world’s first wireless USB external hard drive that has been launched by Imation. Called the Imation Pro WX, the hard drive can be remotely and wirelessly connected to your computer. The Imation Pro WX features a little antenna, which works as the transmitter that transmits the data wirelessly at 15MB/s to your computer, while the computer has a receiver connected to the USB port.
Besides the wireless USB connectivity, the storage capacity of this external hard drive is also worth mentioning. It offers a 1.5TB of storage which is sufficient for storing up to 300,000 photos and up to 750 hours of video. The little down side is the 15MB/s is far slower than a NAS transferring over WiFi. Consider a wireless N connectivity which could go up to top speed of 18+MB/s or more theoretically.
The Imation Pro WX wireless USB HDD costs $500. If the price matters but you insist to go wireless, you could also convert one of your existing external USB HDDs into wireless by connecting to it to the Winstar M4, which allows you to access the content via WiFi.
