Is there any way to access my desktop external hard drive remotely with my laptop or any pc? Are there any software/hardware products available for this type of wireless connection? I usually keep major files and documents with my pc at home for safe-keeping.

^^ James, do you mean that you want to access your desktop's hard drive (the built-in one) or the desktop's removable hard drive?

You can check the other great features of the product at

The price ranges from $269 (1 TB capacity) to $599 (2 TB capacity). Too expensive for me at this point but a great innovation.
