    I've got a normal SSD that when connected will scan and upload new or changed files from last connection. First time takes a while but after that it's simple. Just a normal 1000 gb ssd. Though not as sophisticated as the Apple Time machine it backs up well. It transfers about 20 mb a second.

    There's a note on Bluetooth vs. 802.11n speeds here:

    Bluetooth anything but voice is always a bit odd, mice have already fallen out of favour due to pairing and additional power consumption.

    I remember reading about this: using Bluetooth for proximity marketing, interest perked with some cyberpunk movie I think?

    This might be closer, looks like a combined MiFi & storage device using Bluetooth instead of WiFi:
