Always been interested in these wireless solutions, have they solved the issue with the fact that you have to disconnect from internet (wifi) to connect to the device?
Guess I can find out if I win one ;)
Cheers Hexus!
Getting a bit short on space due to all the media I have, one of these would be awesome :)
This looks like it would sort out music sharing between the 3 computers and an ipad in the house nice and easily!
Ooooh. I like the look of that. Speed would be the major test for me.
Always need more storage! I'm in!
Like you can ever have to much storrage :D
This would be handy for travelling, so why not :D
:iloveyou: Can I have one pretty please?
This Patriot AERO Wireless hard drive can help me backup my computer, but because its wireless i can backup my phone as well!
Leave a post? Sure thing :D Could always do with some more external storage on my nexus 4 and upcoming nexus 7-2
Caught out by the T&Cs, bugger.

According to the specs, yes
Provides Internet Connection Through a Home or Business Wi-Fi Network (Internet Pass-thru)
Sounds good, I'm in. Sun is shining and I'm off to the pub in an hour or so and if HEXUS could see itself clear to letting me win this (or any other) compo it would finish things off nicely.
Got to be in it to win it!
hmmm, extra storage for my playbook when I'm out and about? Go on then ;)
gagaga
This is my post.
Your post is better than my post.
This is something that definitely would be useful as I'm considering buying a tablet for watching media in bed!
BobF64
According to the specs, yes
Awesome, might be interested in buying one if I don't win one :)
Looks nice. I'm sure I could put this to good use. Best of luck all and thanks Patriot/Hexus.
Nice compo, thanks Hexus :)
entered - thanks for another great competition
Like many others I too could do with one of these
Ah, a small wireless portable NAS?
Whoa, wait, a reader review!? “This device was able to stream 40mbps 3D ‘Busty Babes in Grimsby Gangbang 5’ H.264 streams without a hiccup, even with only 1 bar of connectivity through two brick walls and a sleeping cat.”
Thanks for another giveaway dudes :-)
Count me in :) would be handy. Iphone always seems to get full quite quickly.
Another cracking give away for us lucky folk. Fingers crossed :)
Yay, more chances for me to be disappointed that I didnt win :(
Very shiny, yes please!
Top work as always Hexus (and Patriot too!) :)
Sounds good.
Moving house soon so having something like this for short term storage or even just for the brother would be ideal :)
Ooh.. nice little device. I can already think of a few uses for one.
Pick me, pick me ;)
Looks like a good portable hard drive to go with my SSD laptop!
Would love one of these.. Fantastic gear.
this would be great for the kids .. i'm in ..
It'd certainly help with the Nexus 4's storage limitations (and issues with USB OTG).
This would be great for carrying my music around
Nice one
mmh. this looks like a fun toy to carry all my tech bits on when i have to go sort out someones laptop. How good is the battery life?
I have the Gauntlet (which is the aero but bring your own HD basis). Build quality is not good (screws too long) but it is small, quiet and a godsend for those suffering from inadequate storage on a tablet (note to tablet designers: wi-fi is not always free, may have caps if available at all).
The Patriot app is OK, it works but not a lot of bells and whistles. Using it with an android tablet you cannot be connected to both a wi-fi network and the gauntlet it is one or the other. Gauntlet can act as bridge to proper wi-fi but it is unbelievably slow. Speed of wi-fi connection between Gauntlet and tablet is also an issue. If, like me, you rip all blu rays to HD on an uncompressed basis, then Gauntlet wifi does not have band width to stream to your tablet. Standard DVD is fine though.
Broadly it is very good as a first generation product but needs at least a couple more generations to be truly useful
howdy doody.
could always do with more storage, those holiday videos and random animal photos wont transport themselves :D
Sounds great, definitely in for one of these.
Sounds like a neat little gadget.
This would be a welcome addition
I'd love this prize please Hexus!
Please let me win, you know you want too
I'll have me one of those :)
Got to be in it to win it. Definitely wouldn't mind getting one of these :)
I'm liking the extra forum competitions this year. I have missed some of the reviews though, need to go back through the competitions section to find them.
I think this forum prize is probably the most enticing for me since I am running out of storage space fast.
I could do with one of these to go with my new Android device. Count me in.
Thanks again Hexus.
This would be awesome with my RPi :)
Awesome, a competition for the members, and even more awesome, Happy Birthday Hexus, I just hope that Hexus doesn't turn into an obnoxious teen in three years time.
Could definitely use one of those :)
Been looking for a NAS, but this seems to be a good solution for what I need.
Thanks Hexus and Patriot for the great competition.
Good luck everyone!
Thanks as always for organising Hexus! :)
Would love to get my hands on one of these!
Just what I need (and get hopefully) :)
finlay666
This would be awesome with my RPi :)
Agreed, various possibilities… especially if it can be made to power the RPi.
Interesting, wouldn't go amiss in my setup
Didn't even know these existed. They sound like they could be pretty handy.
I'm in, though not too sure my review will quite meet Hexus' high standards…
Nice competition!
Fingers crossed.
Damn I missed this but good luck to all
Hello. Please count me in for this competition! I love hard drive storage as much as I love the sound of my own voice, so… a competition for which the winner must provide a product review, you say? That's tailor-made for me.
This looks like it would be good as a mini server in the car!
All this new tech, just too much of a gadget man, count me in
Seems rude not to at least throw my hat in the ring. It's a terrible hat, I know.
Wantone, no, make that a dozen to go please! Damn computers get everywhere and 500Gb only, I need 2x6 in raid sets ♥;)
I could so make use of one of these right now:)
Im sure i can find a use for this :D
Been a quiet day thus far
Could always do with a bit more storage on my Nexus 4 for when I'm away from home
Fingers crossed I win this!
Good luck all! Thanks Hexus!
Nice competition, count me in :) Happy 10th anniversary, Hexus!
Looks like a nice piece of kit :)
Although it looks like I've not posted anywhere near enough comments in my 8 years as a member!
Looks good might be a good compliment to host files for multi devices when out and about without having to make sure i have an internet / data connection to the NAS at home, especially as some well known brands of phones and tablets are excluding external storage options these days. (Only ever had 1 phone that didnt and that was in 1999, since then they all had memory cards of some type in them)
One of these would be perfect for my daughter!!
This would go lovely with my new Panasonic plasma - the colour scheme is a perfect match.:mrgreen:
Don't know how I missed this.
Entered.
Good luck everyone
Looks a nice little unit.
In please! Thanks for the comp :)
These look awesome, would be great to test one out.
Yeah, like, whateva… :shaun:
Congrats Hexus on the 10 again!
Thanks to Patriot and Yourselves for the prizes, so please consider me in!
Bit more than 10 years if you count what we had before the big crash/hack of '03 ;)
Nice looking device though, had no idea these were a thing!
This would be handy for sharing my music.
Some great competitions Hexus!
Well, seeing as I was about to buy a portable drive, I guess winning one would be a better bet. :)
If it's what's needed then I will diew a review for yiew.
Looks good - be interesting to see the speeds compared to wired drives. Be very handy to hook up to my Nexus 7 in the house to transfer movies to as well.
I hope I get it :). I know I don't have 25 posts but hopefully, by the time, I should have them! <3

Getting a bit short on space due to all the media I have, one of these would be awesome :)
It does not take long to take a gig here & a gig there…..too fast sometimes, & then with all the M/Soft Updates, some of which can be Very HIGH in the MB RANGE!!
Enter me please, this would be very handy.
With more devices, particularly the Nexi, ditching expandable storage support I reckon devices like these will be the best option for streaming media to mobile devices. I'm contemplating the Nexus 7 but I'm seriously put off by the fact that I can't just copy a load of things to watch onto a microSD card and stick it in the tablet - something the Patriot AERO however could make it a viable option.
I want to partecipate! I really love Partiot and its awesome features :)
Excellent competition, Thanks.
A lot of competitions recently - I'm loving it!
these things look so convenient!

I know that feeling!
Would luv this!
Can't remember if I entered this already, probably have, Hexus keep re-posting old comps…
How do you enter? It's not like it normally is or am did I not register in time.
Just a few entries then :-P

I believe you just entered by posting that :)
Very short on space, both drives are in the red… this would sort things out for a while :)
Handy little wireless storage device.
WOW ^_^ WiFi hard drive oh yes please sir I would love to enter my name for this FAB drive ^Y^
Would be useful for storing lots of movies for long trips/holidays!
Another great competition.
Count me in
If it works better than the WD “Passbook” then im in. In fact, it just needs to work and im in!
I was going to check out the specs of this drive, but there seems to be a problem with the link ‘500GB AERO Wireless Mobile Drive’. I guess the only way I can find out more about the drive now is to actually win it then :) Thank you.
This would come in handy :-)
And I've been around for 9 of those years! Here's to another 10 :)
A great idea would save me from swapping out micro sd cards. It never fails to amaze me how much stuff I have digital copies of as I go any buy yet another storage card or dvd to back it up.
Just bought a usb3 drive, interesting to see how this compares.
Lol, the name makes me think of Abraham Lincoln in an aeroplane
If I don't win, could you send me a bar of mint Aero as a consolation, please? :-D
Sweet! Happy birthday Hexus, thanks for all the great reviews and awesome prizes!
Nice competition - nice prize!
I hope this gets my comment number up so I can enter competitions in the future
Perfect for sharing my photos with my family, aunts/uncles/grandma etc
Nice! can always use more storage
This would be so perfect for my daughter and her kindle!!!
