    Because being a publically traded company means they attempt to price their products as high as they can before it affects revenue/profits.

    Time Capsule has much more functionality than an ordinary external HDD, and Apple tends to add more features to it over time to keep it priced competitively rather than lower the price. Whether the extra features justify the price is everyone's own opinion.

    The point is, you are paying $149 more for 500GB.

    One year ago when they first introduce it it makes some sense. 1TB were expensive at the time.



    But now.....

    Why not buy a 500 and replace the drive yourself?

    That's what I'm learning. With these companies that utilize HDD you have to

    How pathetic and limiting. I need to look at external options cuz I'm ready to

    do some surgery on a it LOL
