I don't know which wireless drive you have, but there are WiFi drives that allow you to store movies on them and then stream them to the iPad. That way, they take up no space on the iPad at all. The drives create their own WiFi network for the purposes of streaming content, they will not connect to the Internet.


I do not own one of these devices so what I do not know, is if you have to transfer the movies to the device from a computer or if you can transfer them directly from the iPad to the WiFi drive,


Here is one example.
