So there is a way to take out the HDD of an iPod or something and use the battery + USB connection + HDD?.
The iPods logic board might be needed in this situation because I don't know whether the battery could be plugged directly into the hard drive, same goes for other mp3 players.JakeK said:So there is a way to take out the HDD of an iPod or something and use the battery + USB connection + HDD?.

Sure can. Here's one example:

These are designed for portable data backup (eg. for photographers). They contain a 2.5" HDD, and all the usual card slots, and an internal battery. They can be used like any other external HDD.

Excellent, thank you.
Although I'd also like to see how the iPod thing works. Maybe after my electronics course I'll know what I am looking at.
Because Samba is terrible compared to just about any other protocol available.icurafu said:Why not just use samba over a typical WPA2 encrypted wireless connection? That's what I'll use.
You forgot to mention uncrackable encryption, and on one easy-to-spot port. Samba, especially with Windows, has a way of spanning multiple ports for no good reason.mindlord said:Another reason that SSHFS is a better solution than samba is it's routable across networks.
How about we find a bunch of old data tape recorders, hook them up via FM transmitter, then hook up an FM receiver to the Pandora, and play back the data tapes over the transmitter, run your C64 emulator and enjoy 8 bit applications anywhere within 100 feet? Or we could make it FCC illegal and put a 40 foot antenna on the transmitter, then it would be a 4 mile radius!jakshep2 said:Step 1:
Get an external harddrive, of whatever capacity you choose.
Step 2:
Get a wireless USB connector, if one exists... if not, use a normal USB cable
Step 3:
If a wireless USB cable does exist, it means you can enjoy gigabytes of storage in the home or garden. up to 1TB of storage, and no memory cards!
I never knew that, though having thought about it for a moment it is pretty obvious. *slaps forehead*Gruso said:They can be used like any other external HDD.
