The computer includes a central processing unit, and a wireless access point coupled to the enclosure, the wireless access point being coupled to the central processing unit. Moreover, the wireless access point is for wirelessly transferring data received from the central processing unit to at least one solid state drive stored in the bay. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional embodiments. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system, comprising: an enclosure; a bay coupled to the enclosure, the bay being for storing at least one solid state drive therein; and a computer coupled to the enclosure, the computer comprising a central processing unit; and a wireless access point coupled to the enclosure, the wireless access point being coupled to the central processing unit, wherein the wireless access point is for wirelessly transferring data received from the central processing unit to at least one solid state drive stored in the bay. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the wireless access point has a static Internet protocol address. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the wireless access point is operable to transfer the data received from the central processing unit to the at least one solid state drive without using a physical connection that connects the wireless access point and the solid state drive. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system as recited in claim 1, comprising a controller operatively coupled to the wireless access point, wherein the controller includes a physical electrical connection for communicating with the at least one solid state drive. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system as recited in claim 4, wherein the controller is operable to: monitor a bit error rate of the wireless access point; establish a second wireless connection between a second wireless access point in the computer and the at least one solid state drive in response to determining that the bit error rate is in a range; and transfer data wireles sly from the second wireless access point to the at least one solid state drive. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising memory for storing data to be transferred to the at least one solid state drive. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the wireless access point is operable to wirelessly transfer data directly to the at least one solid state drive using WiFi. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the wireless access point is operable to wireles sly transfer data to two or more solid state drives stored in the bay, wherein data communication between the central processing unit and the two or more solid state drives is only performable via the wireless access point. ### Claim 9 A method, comprising: establishing a wireless connection between a wireless access point and a solid state drive; and transferring data wirelessly from the wireless access point to the solid state drive, wherein the wireless access point is coupled to a central processing unit, wherein the solid state drive is stored in a bay, wherein the bay, the wireless access point and the central processing unit are coupled to a common enclosure. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method as recited in claim 9, wherein the wireless access point has a static Internet protocol address. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method as recited in claim 9, wherein the data received from the central processing unit is transferred by the wireless access point to the solid state drive stored in the bay without using a physical connection that connects the wireless access point and the solid state drive. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The method as recited in claim 9, wherein a controller is electrically coupled to the wireless access point, wherein the controller includes a physical electrical connection for communicating with the solid state drive. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The method as recited in claim 9, comprising: monitoring a bit error rate of the wireless access point; establishing a second wireless connection between a second wireless access point and the solid state drive in response to determining that the bit error rate is in a range; and transferring data wirelessly from the second wireless access point to the solid state drive. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The method as recited in claim 9, further comprising memory for storing data to be transferred to the solid state drive. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The method as recited in claim 9, wherein the wireless access point wirelessly transfers data directly to the solid state drive stored in the bay using WiFi. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The method as recited in claim 9, wherein the wireless access point wirelessly transfers data to two or more solid state drives stored in the bay, wherein data communication between the central processing unit and the two or more solid state drives is only performable via the wireless access point. ### Claim 17 A computer program product, comprising: a computer readable medium having stored thereon computer readable program instructions executable by a processor of a computer system to: establish, by the processor, a wireless connection between a wireless access point and a solid state drive; and transfer, by the processor, data wirelessly from the wireless access point to the solid state drive, wherein the wireless access point is coupled to a central processing unit, wherein the solid state drive is stored in a bay, wherein the bay, the wireless access point and the central processing unit are coupled to a common enclosure. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The computer program product as recited in claim 17, wherein the data received from the central processing unit is transferred by the wireless access point to the solid state drive stored in the bay without using a physical connection that connects the wireless access point and the solid state drive. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The computer program product as recited in claim 17, wherein the computer readable program instructions are executable by the processor of the computer system to: monitor, by the processor, a bit error rate of the wireless access point;
