The last few years have seen an emergence of a fairly new creature on the computer scene. Wireless Wi-Fi and even Wireless bluetooth drives started popping up providing personal storage shared by any number of devices in the owners home. Now we are seeing Wireless Mobile drives like the Seagate Wireless 500 GB that not only provide wireless storage but come with a battery for up to 6 hours of mobile storage unplugged.

Some years back computer vendors started pushing limited storage devices (around the Asus EEE PC period) and small portable devices proliferated at an explosive rate. The biggest problem with these small portable devices, chrome books, Phones, tablets and hybrids was / is shortage of storage or clunky wire to device storage. The cloud has been evolving but the cloud is dependent on an internet connection.
