Does anyone have any experience with this drive?

I have a basic question which may pertain to any network drive of this
type...

My home wirless network is an encrypted one (WEP). We have 4 computers that
access it athrough a Linksys wireless router and I have WEP encryption on
this network and assigned the password to 3 of the 4 computers (the 4th is
hard wired to the router).

Now that I have plugged this WD hard drive into the router can someone from
the outside possibly have access to it, or does my wireless network
encryption still protect it too (at least to the extent that any WEP
encryption protects a network...I know it's not the best solution)?

Looks like WEP protects all your wireless traffic, both the drive's traffic
and any other traffic.
