I've been working on a wireless storage solution for music in my truck that I could connect via my Sammy Tab pro 8.4 or note 3 ( connected to the stereo via Stereo mini) I've dealt with the power by mounting a 5 port usb power block with 5a per port under the center console and I'm using the Patriot Node wireless 2.5" HDD enclosure with wifi. Apparently I got a bad one and am RMAing the old one...my question is could I not make this or any other external HDD bluetooth capable with a bluetooth adapter ?

Bluetooth has an incredibly limited bandwidth transfer rate, so I personally wouldn't use it for watching content, especially HD files..

Right! Well, the easiest thing that I would do is have it attached to a USB OTG cable that way you don't have to use bluetooth (?) to your hard drive.
