Can this be connected to a wireless network through adapters. My old WD is connected directly to router. I can access files on it from TV, computer, phones, and tablets directly wireless. It is HDD and old. Will this work? null

Question

Accepted Answer

It depends. Does your router provide power to the USB port. This device has no power source and is powered solely by the usb cable. Many old WD drives had a separate power supply that enabled connection to a router for usage as a SAN drive.

Assuming the router connection is a USB-A you "should" be able to use a USB-A to C converter and attached it directly. I did not try that so I can't verify for sure though but I do have several SSDs leveraging converters.

I really don't know. I use a wired connection between my tv and computer.
