Should I buy a Western Digital My Passport Wireless? Or is there something else that would suit my needs better?

I was looking at a Western Digital My Passport Wireless external hard drive. It has wireless capabilities that allows up to 8 devices to access and stream files from the drive, on top of having a built-in battery that allows a person to copy files from an SD card on the go (great for photographers and videographers).

Basically I'm looking for some sort of hard drive that I can set up in my bedroom and be able to access it wirelessly from my laptop, smartphone and PS3 or PS4 if possible. I figured this drive would be great for it.

What do you think?

    Hi there.

    Yes, you would be able to access it from different devices. The only thing you have to do is to connect the wireless drive to your home Wi-Fi network so all the device on the same could access the content stored on the drive and the devices attached to it.

    Just keep two things in mind:

    1. If you connect the drive with USB 3.0 to any device, the wireless capability would be turned off.

    2. The My Passport Wireless is pre-formatted in ex-FAT, so you have to reformat it to a format that your devices are using (like NTFS for instance).

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers! :)
