So I ended up getting the PogoPlug. I checked out the other suggestions but since I was dealing with mom and dad using it I needed the easiest streamline possible way.

So here it is:

If you look at a seagate external its about 3/4 the height of it but about 1.5 times thicker. (Ignore the wires on the side I have to bundle them up so right now they are messy).

But here is what is sweet and why I fell in love with it. If I go to "my Computer" it looks like its a external plugged in:

That PogoPlug is not connected to my computer at all, its connected to my router and my computer is wireless. Its very sweet! I can download and upload from any computer onto it, really simple to use.

Plus it has the option that I can give someone a password that will only let them in to see what I want them to see if they wanted to download something I had or view something I had. You can't get easier then this.

Oh they have mobile apps so like my one kiddo can live stream videos I have on it to his iPod Touch.

Now I can hook up to 4 externals on it (more if I get a hub). It shows as one hard drive in the pic above but once you open it up you will see the different drives - I currently have 2 hooked up.
