i have an external hard drive (western digital) with a usb socket on thew back and now have a mini mac with wireless built in.

now heres the question, if i get a wireless dongle thingy for the back of the device would my mac pick it up, and would i be able to transfer data?

sorry if that dont make sense

The short answer is no. It isn't that simple.

However, if you were to purchase a NAS (Network Server) you can hook this USB drive up to that. Simpletech sells the "Simpleshare" drive that works like this. I had one, but the speed of connecting wirelessly drove me nuts.

Just hook the drive up via the USB port to the mini. You'll be much happier.
