On Tuesday, the companies announced a partnership featuring a $99 Linksys device that lets an external hard drive connect to a wireless router, allowing PCs to tap into the storage and share files without any physical link to the drive.

Marketing tagline: "Now it's even easier for you to make all your personal data available over your unsecured wireless network!"

I honestly dont see why this would be such a big seller. why, quite simply... why? also, why would you want your HD away from your case?

It saves having to install a fileserver (assuming you have several computers accessing the same data) and you don't need to install the cabling.

On step further from this, Philips introduced this for media devices. You can play your movies and music all over the house from a central media server. Sounds pretty cool to me.

Yep, you could have this wireless HD full of music and then you can access it from any device in your house.  Heck, I have 40 gigs of music on my machine that I would love to off load to a central HD.
