Is there such thing as a hard drive that can be setup as a wireless
device? THat is, I want one that works just like my laptop -
stand-alone device connected to my PC only wirelessly.

Do you realize that it will be extremely, painfully slow?

For it to be wireless, you're needing it (the electronics on
that external device to act as a host itself, unlike with a
typical USB-connected external... that makes it essentially
a NAS (network attached storage).

Google for "wireless NAS", or here are some,

Im afraid there's no such thing. People in your situation use a USB 2.0
connected external harddrive.
