Is this external hard drive wi-fi enabled? Can I transfer files to it over my home's wi-fi network?

The device itself is not Wi-Fi enabled, however if you use a network cable to connect it to an open port on your Wi-Fi access point it will take on an IP address and you can then access it from any wireless device on your network. In this configuration you can transfer files to it in the same way as a wired device can.

No. You plug it into a wi-fi. Once connected it be uses by any computer, iPhone, ipad that is connected to your network.

Yes! It is Wi-Fi enabled and you can transfer the files via wi-fi either from your home network or from a remote place with Internet access!

Yes. This drive connects directly to your computer using a USB port. A different kind of drive, called Network Attached Storage (NAS) plug into a switch or router, and could (for example) be accessed wirelessly from a tablet - without your computer at all. These USB drives don't have that kind of support yet. It is possible to plug this drive into other hardware that isn't a 'computer', such as a media server in your entertainment center. The media server would take the place of a computer. (Actually, media servers are computers nowadays, just as TVs and tablets are.) Of course, whatever you want to plug it into will need to support the newer USB 3.0 standard.

Yes, you can access the files using the same IP Address method you would with mobile devices. However, it would typically make more sense to plug the dive into your laptop to play the files. It is an external hard drive remember. But I guess if you had multiple laptops to share it with at one time the wifi mode would be best.

Yes, you can use a WiFi Hard Drive such as the Seagate Goflex Satellite they have 500 GB and 1TB options, here is a Youtube video explaining it, works with Djay 1 and 2 and while using the iDJ Prohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrQMakmsSXA

No, this will not do what you need. If you want to connect a hard drive to your network without using a computer, you will need a device called a NAS, or "Network Attached Storage" - it's basically an external case that connects via ethernet instead of USB.

The drive doesn't haves wifi card, so it needs a wired connection to your router/switch. It can then be accessed wirelessly through your router.

No, it definitely won't be *exactly* as if it was plugged in. When plugged in, Windows is going to view it as a drive, assign it a drive letter, and allow you to copy files to it via copy/paste, drag/drop, etc. I haven't confirmed it, but I can all but guarantee it won't work that way when accessing it via WiFi from your PC. In fact, my guess is, you can view content, but not alter it via WiFi. again, I haven't tried, but that would be my guess. If I get a chance, I'll try and let you know.

Yeah, Seagate has their app available on the app store from where you can upload anything from your phone to the HDD over WiFi.

No. The wi drive is hard lines to your computer to save files then disconnect from the computer. After that's done, your mobile devices can hook up to your wi drive thru the wi drive app or by entering http://192.168.200.254 into your URL browser

You can do all files type with no problem. Just Remember that you must use the Voyager Air Software, to access the drive if you are using the built wifi. Other than that, it us a USb 3.0 hd. With the use of the cable the drive can be accessed with no problem

You'll have to have something turned on. What device would be accessing the files other than your computer?There are devices other than a desktop or laptop that could access files via the usb port. You could move this from your computer to the other device. It is not a network drive, but some wifi routers have a usb port to make drives and printers network accessible. Failing that, WD's Mycloud line has inexpensive network drives.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EVVGAD0/ref=twister_B00GHJFREW?_encoding=UTF8&p;sc=1

The unit itself is plugged directly into the router via an ethernet cable. Other computers on your network can access the files via wifi also over the internet.

Yes, it will show up in your local explorer under network/router if you attach it to the router. works as just another drive if it is attached direct.

this doesn't have it's own network adapter. Unless the USB external drive has a network adapter don't believe that will work. Sorry :(

Yes you can if it connects by USB. You can also connect over a network if the drive is shared and skip the wires.
