Does the storage itself need to be wired/ Ethernet or can that also be WIFI ?

PC/tablet access to the device (storage) is via WiFi - the device itself is only plugged into the router

no - its a network device with storage, access to disks are via the network

There is only an Ethernet connection. Pioneer sells a WiFi adapter for the unit. I prefer the reliability of Ethernet, so the WiFi was not an issue with my purchase

There are NAS drives that also have USB ports but most of the affordable ones I have seen don't let you use the network and ethernet simultaneously. So with that it would just be unplug the USB, update over ethernet, plug the USB back in. As long as you have 2 sets of cables, I don't think unhooking the drive and hooking it into the computer is a big deal myself...

There's no disk. Plug one side into the wall, connect to the modem/router. Plug the other some place else in the house. Run Ethernet to a router. Enjoy! Very picky. Don't plug close to anything electrical or electronic. If installed isolated works well. Otherwise not worth much!

The device has an ethernet connection. You can optionally buy an add-on (part # AS-WL300) to have wifi.

Yes, it definitely will connect via USB 3. I am not sure what Mr. Hurd is referring too. There is no "requirement" for it to be connected to the Internet. Mine.is connected via CAT 5 to my internal network and is not accessible outside of that network. My personal opinion is, this is one of the best NAS solutions you could get.

It has an external USB minidongle 150Mb/sec, built-in wired NIC, not wireless.

The drive app will see the folders; how it interacts w/ your ethernet question is unknown. It should work, but ... connectivity is diceySorry I cannot be more specifici

The Synology will show up as a network drive, so basically it's just like a USB external drive except you will be accessing data over your network instead of a USB cable. This means if you connect to a wired network make sure it's gigabit (1000T) and not 100T. And if you use wireless, prefer 802.11n or 802.11ac. I mention this because otherwise your performance might be limited by the network. Performance aside, if you use Lightroom to reference your images in-place instead of copying them into your catalog then you can definitely keep your catalog on your computer and store your photos on the DiskStation. That's what I do. My catalog, which is about 30GB because of all the previews Lightroom generates, lives on my laptop, but the actual RAW images (about 500GB in total) are on the DiskStation.

Not that I know of. There is the wireless network capability or you could use the cat-5 network cable plug in on the back but your hard drive would have to have it's own operating system similar to a Micca EP100 1080P Full-HD Digital Media Player for example.

Assuming that the question you intend to ask is will your computer see files on the drive when it is connected via ethernet. Answer is yes. Your computer will be able see all files on the drive when connected via a network connection, either wifi or ethernet. The drive will appear as a network drive in windows Explorer.

Hi it dosnt accepts higher backup drive well go for external wifi enabled backup driver like Seagate or apple capsule

Only if you connect to a network somehow. There are actual "cloud" type drives you can purchase that will accept data from anywhere in the house if that is what you need.

I have my doubtsit would have to be transferred wirelessly to the computer and then to the hard drivethe hard drive I assume is not wireless

As far as I know the only connections it supports are WiFi and ethernet. The USB is for file sharing.

It's not wireless, it has a wired Gigabit network card. I'm sure you can use all the different sized drives but you probably can't make them part of a drive array. Are you looking for a server or a way to share your hard drives? Windows server software (or Linux for that case) can share drives and folders but it takes some knowledge of the operating system.
