Wireless access would be ridiculously slow.
Yeah: if your wireless network is not new, or you're near the range limit: ridiculously slow.
But if your wireless network is new technology, and you're well in range: ridiculously fast! - for all practical purposes: as fast as a local disk for photo file access. I mean, there is a tiny fraction of a second penalty (relative to local wired connection) getting things started, but then transfer speed is limited by the connected device (hard drive itself), NOT the wireless interface.
I'm not talking about verizon wireless, I'm talking about 802.11ac.
Here is a good article on actual speeds to expect, instead of exaggerated claims..
