Hi,
Looking to buy a portable SSD for store work related stuff.
Is there something like a cloud/wifi SSD drive available in India yet?
Don’t want to buy a NAS drive as it’ll need different format & if I have to connect the SSD to laptop it’ll say format is different.
Budget is around 7K, can extend based on the product.
Some help would be helpful
Does your wifi router support USB file sharing?
Jio Fiber router
Most likely it doesn’t.
I don’t know of any SSD which comes with inbuilt WiFi.
The solution which I can think of is to get a router with USB File sharing (~₹2000), attach a SSD (500GB, ~₹6000) via SATA to USB converter/SSD enclosure (~₹500), disable the router’s wifi and connect the router to LAN port of Jio Router
Others might have better solution.
Not surprised lol…jio is known to play shady tricks
+1 , simple and quick
Else, build/get a NAS.
Too much hardware, I do not have that much space to be honest near the router, a standalone SSD with inbuilt wifi will be better.
I don’t want to depend on HDD setup as too much data is at stake.
Something like this?

Not sure if these are available in India.
Try contacting the manufacturer’s India email/number if they have them.
Had seen that Sandisk Wireless stick on Flipkart, but the storage capacity is an issue.
Other devices price is killing it…
Will keep an eye for such stuff

Not available in India, only option is import.
HDD mate, not something I want..
Only SSD
This is just an enclosure/ casing.
Wired will be much faster. 50x ? More secure too.

Some reviews I saw showed the san disk extreme works faster than the equivalent Samsung SSD’s
Your budget is barely enough to fit a portable SSD itself, let alone one with built on wi-fi. It’s a niche product you’re looking for, and niche products are generally expensive.
Getting a router, as suggested by @@john1911 is the easiest and cheapest solution. This is a portable router from TP-Link which can be powered from any USB port using a micro USB cable: Amazon.in
I had this disk in mind for a wired setup
Actually the issue is the data will be accessed in 2 systems, will check if it can be done in 1 system, will have to fall back for a wired SSD if the plan works out.
You can just connect to one system and share it over the network. Then depending on the OS you’re using, you can map it as network drive or mount as SMB share on the second system.
Will keep this in mind, will order the Sandisk SSD mostly
