[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1561319, member: 234411"] Yes my very thoughts - a 2-3 TB Time Capsule is indeed expensive and not really needed - please return to one of my previous posts and look at the [I]Apotop Wi-Reader[/I] link and read the information carefully - this device allows a number of different inputs, including a USB connection to an inexpensive external HD (I'm using 1 TB Seagate HDs for my Time Machine BUs - these were under $100). You don't need a router to use Wi-Fi in a hotspot cafe, like Starbucks, etc. - the iPad can simply connect by itself - I'm sure you already know that? Of course, a device like the [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004Z0S7K6/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]Seagate GoFlex HD[/URL] offers both storage & a personal Wi-Fi network - now I've not use this device and there are some negative reviews on Amazon - follow the link, if interested.
