RE: [Thinkpad] OT: Wireless harddrives?

Wow, those are pricey.
I can see that they clearly offer more than either of these next two
products, the next two are a cheaper way to get NAS (Network Attached
Storage). Adding 802.11g will be up to you - by means of the WAP or a
port on your wireless router with integrated 4 port switch or whatever.

Buffalo LinkStation ~$350 for 120 mb
Linksys Network Storage Link ~$100, no hard disk; add a USB cabinet and
then a hard disk.

This is pulled from the current issue of Maximum PC, no research on my
part.

Just buy a wireless access point, put it in your cellar/attic and
connect
an Ethernet disk (eg.

to it.

Cheers, Dominique
