best external hard drive nas image
Joe K
We were trying to find an external hard drive that would support such a thing. Basically we want to be able to be in the field recording video connect the camera to the hard drive download all the video off it to the drive. Then be able to shoot more video without having a bunch of SD cards. Maybe a device that has it's own hard drive and card reader and an auto transfer. Or are we going to be stuck just having to buy a laptop to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for any help.

That seems to be a "dream, intelligent" external hard drive at the moment since practically all external HDDs are just dumb drives and highly dependent on a PC/laptop. So for the meantime, just settle for an Ultra mobile PC with large and fast HDD.
What you want could be a reality once consumer demand for such need increases. As of now, partly intelligent external hard drives can interface directly with special routers as network attached storage (NAS) and some could playback HDD video content directly to TV.

Answer
Connect it to your desktop, make sure your laptop is in the same work group as your desktop.
Do you not already have a wireless network for your laptop? If you do you can just Right-Click your external drive in "MY Computer" and select "Sharing and Security" Make sure "Share this Folder" is selected. Now you can access the drive over the network without purchasing extra equipment.
Wireless usb hubs cannot support connecting multiple computers to the same device at the same time... They are made for connecting multiple devices to one computer and WILL NOT WORK for connecting multiple computers to one device... USB has no collision detection which is why it is not able to network computers together as well. Only Fire wire and IP based technology has such a capability.
If you do not have a wireless network then I recommend a wireless NAS with USB ports like this one from trendnet: http://www.google.com/product_url?q=http://www.provantage.com/trendnet-ts-i300w~7TDWU00R.htm&fr=ALNQw8ZOsElh9bXPMldqHaCmEfyqpR1bfM6_CTLNgbsqKN2Y95nHhI0ZAdrl5cVMXFS25smnD90lHNCSYYLfjKiAP6_J_N-0ByahMNcTtDva5hATchIM_UctvB5qzYIRRdgA2IZFlHnWh0q59YtykmBEJKjsNI23DAAAAAAAAAAA&gl=us&hl=en&sa=title
