LaCie's 2TB Fuel Wi-Fi external storage for £189

Seagate's LaCie boosts their 1TB Fuel Wi-Fi external storage to 2TB and said they have the highest capacity wireless 2.5-inch drive you can see in the market.

Files can be easily accessed by up to five devices through its own Wi-Fi network. Files can be dragged and dropped to an icon that can be seen as an external device on on desktops or laptops. Accessing the Fuel external storage by using USB 3.0 cable is also possible to speed up the file transfer.

1080p video files that are streamed from the external storage may be lagging to view or may not play at all because of its high bandwidth requirement.

You can also provide a Dropbox folder to transfer and sync files on your Fuel. Their is also a supplied Seagate app that can move files from your desktop to the Fuel which provides file syncing.

Using the Fuel ran by its battery can last up to 10 hours. You can pre-order LaCie from their online store for £189, and the 1TB version costs £169. So £20 won't hurt for the extra 1TB.
