Any device can be used to connect my USB external hdd with ipad?

I am looking for a device that can connect my WD My Passport 1.5TB HDD to iPad 3, So i can view photos, watch movies. I know Seagate have an wifi hard drive can used in this way. However, i do not want to pay a large mount of money for another big hard drive.

Any one know is there such device in the market?

OR, if you have a wireless router already, check the back & see if it has an USB port on it & hook up a harddrive to that.
