NAS Drive or similar 'Wireless' HD

    Im looking at purchasing a NAS Drive for use in my house.

    EDIT:
    Or if something like this exists for cheap it would be better again, a mini PC that would only really be running Plex. All content being streamed via Plex can be stored locally on the machine or on a External HD. So the cheapest Mini 'PC' available that would run plex.

    I'll describe the set up i want.
    A hard drive 'wirelessly' available to all devices that connect to it.
    I will then use the data stored on this device to stream on my TV via Plex or something similar with metadata etc. for all the files.
    Not sure what I will use to stream to the TV yet, whether its just a ChromeCast or something similar.

    Anyways all i'm looking for atm is the 'Wireless' HD, or a NAS if im correct yes?

    Now as for purchasing, I will be in the US in two months, and can wait until then if i will be saving a lot for the same set up.

    Thanks.


    EDIT:

    Would something like this, PogoPlug allow me to attach my own Hard Drive(internal) and make it wirelessly available as a mounted 'drive' to any other devices?
    Would Plex be able to access the drive ok?
