Wireless external hard drive for music

I am running Itunes on a Windows based laptop and see that there are some wireless external hard drives out there. Are these units good for storing music on? Whats the sound quality compared to a wired unit, any difference? It then runs thru a Benchmark Dac 1 USB if that matters any which is obviously wired.
Thanks, John

I have been running Itunes & it seems to sound tremendous on my PC. Perhpaps I'll try one of the others mentioned if I get a chance. Oh boy, another learning curve!
Why not wireless? Less wires & if it worked well I would be easier.

I currenctly use a 1tb wired external hard drive to store my music on. My daughter has a wireless 1tb hard drive for her data and loves it. I was hoping one could be used for my laptop in lieu of the wired version. I use Itunes for my music and one less USB wire would be neat as long as no sound quality or dropouts were compromised. By the looks of the responses above it is not a common way to do things.
