Yeah, they're out there, but expensive I think. Try doing a google search for "wifi external hard drive" or something similar. I came up with a few results. I'm not sure exactly what you're looking to do but I read an article in Popular Mechanics a while ago that might be an alternative solution. Basically if you've got an old computer laying around that you don't use anymore, you can set it up to be a mini "server." It doesn't have to be fast or have tons of RAM, just stick a big-honkin' hard drive in there for storage. Then plug the computer into your wireless router. It doesn't even need to be out in the open or have a monitor attached. You can tuck it into a closet or something. Of course you need a monitor to set things up and stuff... There were some cheap, maybe even free back up software options listed in the article that allowed you to backup files from other computers on the network through the file and printer sharing stuff in windows. I'll see if I can dig up the article and post it here.
