wifi storage devices for ipad?

[Missmouse3]

Im still exploring my ipads workings & have been told a good accessory is a wifi storage device. Can anyone tell me a bit about these? Like can they act as an interface between my pc & ipad to transfer files etc instead of going thru the long winded itunes method?
& which would be the best one to go for? I see they start around £60.

Ive also been told you can now buy a usb adaptor for the ipad - do these work ok?- Now THAT would be a really great thing if it did!

thanks in advance:thumbs:

Sorry to jump in on this but I am interested in this too. Am I right in thinking that the CloudFTP etc. don't have storage built but that you also need a separate drive to hold the data. I have been looking at the Buffalo Ministation Air which inbuilt 500Gb storage. Does anyone have any experience of this? Most of my photos and videos are ones I ripped myself so I would hope that the DRM issue mentioned wouldn't be a problem.
