Wireless Hard Drives have Arrived!

Just the other day I was thinking it would be wonderful to have a wireless external hard drive for my laptop computer so I could truly be ‘free’ (as opposed to being stuck at my desk). Welcome the Apollo Pro WX by Imation, the first wireless hard drive to hit the market.

Utilizing wireless USB technology by WiQuest, the Apollo Pro WX is intended for quick backup and storage of music, photos, videos and data on wireless networks at home.

Amazingly enough, the speed of the Apollo Pro WX is apparently just as fast as a wired USB hard drive. There are two caveats however; the device only has a 30 foot range, and your computer must support wireless USB.

The Imation Apollo Pro WX is set to be released 4th quarter and in capacities ranging from 250 gigabytes to 1.5 terabytes. Pricing is currently unknown. Expect to see more and more devices released supporting wireless USB technology. They will be welcomed with “open arms”!
