Not possible with ANY iDevice or iOS.

There are a few special storage devices for mobile devices. There are portable, bulit-in WiFi hotspot hard drives for mobile devices made by Western Digital and Seagate.

This listing maybe incomplete and somewhat outdated, now. So do an online search for similar external data storage devices for iPads


Kingston Electronics makes some data storage devices for iPads/iDevices, now, too!
