Wireless Hard Drives?
I would like to get a wireless hard drive for my house. However I really do not know anything about them. Basically what I want it for is to store movies and music, large files and be able to access them through any computer in the house. We do have wifi in my house. I do not have a desktop computer, therefore I do not want to use a normal usb hard drive.
I was also wondering do you have to plug this in to anything or is it completely wireless?
Does anyone have any suggestions on affordable brands or models that work well for them? Thank you!

There are wireless routers that support what your referring to. This is called cloud storage basically there is a usb port on the back of the router which allows you to connect a storage device. Then when you are connected to your WiFi network it should be listed under Network in your windows explorer. Again you have to have a wireless router which supports this feature.

No its not, Cloud storage is the new name for storage outside your local network/of site storage. What you describe is local inside the local network storage.
