Re: wireless hard drive?
2Tb is a lot of storage and to get things on and off that over WiFi will be sloooooow.

Why can't your core network infrastructure be upgraded to add 2Tb of storage. Most companies are in planning for 09 cap ex now so you should be geting this into the budget.

Seems to me you are creating two headaches with the simple solution. 2Tb of data that is not being backed up and a WiFi access point into a network that is sufficiently secure that admin rights have been tied down that will not use RADAR or any other form of cycling password authentication. The first could lead to major headaches for your team, the second termination, similar to borrowing and misusing someones admin rights which could lead to termination for the both of you.

Not helping a great deal but I guess I would ask what do you need that takes up 2Tb?
