8 Terabyte Hard Drive
http://www.seagate.com/about/newsroom/press-releases/Seagate-ships-worlds-first-8TB-hard-drives-pr-master/ On a clear disk you can see forever.
Mine is the size of a 2.5" hard drive, just slightly longer. It has a 1 TB traditional drive inside, though you can apparently put in an SSD if you are handy. It runs several hours on the battery. You can see it here: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/control ... &A=details
I decided to try a hacked firmware package, that gives me lower level access, but with a plainer UI than the one seagate provides. The hacked firmware includes Samba, FTP, ssh access - most of the usual NAS stuff. It will act as a wifi bridge/router, and you can block access to the WAN IP if you want. Network access is WiFi only. It's also a SAN, so you can easily connect it to a PC USB port (it includes paragon to give you ntfs support). So you manage what's on it using USB, and access it using WiFi. You can't do both simultaneously.
It will stream videos to the ipad ok (most of what I've tried is SD), and plays well with goodreader, AVplayerHD and other similar apps.
Anyway, I haven't used it as much as I thought I would. It's not because it doesn't work reasonably well - just that in practice the mobile devices have enough storage to carry me through most trips.
