Wireless Harddrives?

[nesser1981]

Anyone have one?

I really want one so I can scrapbook on my laptop as well as my desktop. What do you have? Do you love it?

I guess it's like a network, where you can access it anywhere. A friend of mine bought one a few years back and she said she could scrap and access her stuff even on vacation.

I haven't really researched them, but I'm very interested in getting one.

MamaBee's DH (and technical advisor) here... I have never heard of a wireless hard drive. Doesn't mean they don't exist, but I haven't heard of one. It sounds like getting some Network Attached Storage (NAS) would be helpful to you. Essentially, it is a hard drive that can be put on your network, and accessed by any computer on your network.

Just this weekend, I updated our NAS system to 4TB of space because of all these crazy sized layouts. You're welcome Beck.

We have had good luck with Buffalo Technologies NAS units - and just upgraded to a Synology unit because of some new geek features it has.

I have a LaCie 2Big that is hooked up to our desktop machine and then I can access it over the network. The only drawback is that it is a lot slower than if I was attached directly to it. So if you aren't worried about speed you could work that way but I just have a portable hard drive that I use as a second copy of all my digital supplies that I can hook up to my computer directly and still work on my laptop. Plus I can take it with me when we travel and still scrap!

I needed to buy a new hard drive recently and was really really tempted to go for one, but at 3 times the price of a portable hard drive, I couldn't justify the cost in the end. I went for a little portable drive, which is no bigger or heavier than my phone, and it's so easy to just plug into my laptop when I need it. No need for a dedicated power source for it, just connect it via usb and it's good to go so it's easy to move from deskop to laptop..

We have a EHD that we access over wifi...so wireless. It's great for backup! It's harder to access as my main use because it has so much to load. I'd open a kit and it wouldn't fully load so I only saw half the elements (preview). The files were there though so we started using it as a form of backup. We have really high speed internet so we felt like that wasn't the issue. I use it for all of my layered files, all of my digiscrap stuff, all photos, and any videos we want to watch.

Hope that helps!
