Wireless external hard drive,do they exist?

Something like 160gb for my laptop that i can access wirelesslly?

If so whats the disadvantage compared to a USB linked one?

I'm not sure they exist, well if they do i have never seen one.

What you could do : Get a wireless router with a USB port on it, plug the external harddrive into the USB of the router and access it wirelessly.

Certainly available, big disadvantage is access speed.

You could get a network one and plug into your network somewhere...? (Router or switch) Faster and cheaper.
