    Toshiba Canvio Wireless Adapter for External Hard Drives (HDWW100XKWF1)

    • I recomend to spendt he money for Wireless Hard Drive, not for useless adapters
    • Pros: Primarily the Wi-Fi feature, status indicators, small size, included power adapter, and convenient to use
    • The adapter works great if you have a compatible portable Hard Drive or purchase a Toshiba one, but keeping the facts in such small print is just irritating to me, so I have to give it 2 Stars
    • Now you can run the APP.It all sounds so simple, until you realize that your Windows 7's portable hard drive is not supported or compatible with this Canvio wireless adapter, even though it says it is.
    • Once you download the app (Toshiba Wireless Adapter for IOS worked best for me), all you need to do is plug the wireless adapter into a power source, connect your desired flash drive or hard drive, and launch the app
    • It does not work with this adapter - it is meant for Canvio NAS drives
    • *NOTE: If you are formatting a section that has files, you will lose these files unless you back them up somewhere else on your computer!!After following these steps, my hard drive was readily accessible via the wifi adapter
    • The wireless adapter is good for streaming media to your phone (streaming of music and video is smooth)
    • *NOTE: If you are formatting a section that has files, you will lose these files unless you back them up somewhere else on your computer!!After following these steps, my hard drive was readily accessible via the wifi adapter
    • Oh, there is one irritating facet of using this adapter that I neglected to mention, though it's not the adapter's fault:
    • This wireless adapter is great
    • But the inability to transfer existing photos and other media on your phone to the external drive severely limits the usefulness of the wireless adapter
    • Today I connected the adapter and it prompted me to upgrade the firmware
    • Out of the box, the adapter did not work with my drive
    • Once you do these things, the adapter works as advertised
    • The Toshiba Wireless USB Adapter is fantastic and at < $
    • The Toshiba Wireless Adapter is now available in the Apple App Store (rather than the 3rd party software mentioned in previous reviews)
    • The adapter works well despite the crappy manual.
    • Run as fast as you can from this.
