  • What's the advantage of doing a TM backup to a TC opposed to a backup connected directly to your machine? Wouldn't a direct connection (via FW or internal) be faster anyway compared to wireless? And why in the world would someone want to do multiple…

  • I'm wondering if it would make more sense to purchase an Extreme n ($172) then a 1TB Seagate SATA ($270) and an Enclosure ($40) than to go with the 1TB TC. At about the same price my drive would now be replaceable and be able to connect directly to …
  • I'd like to know the spec's and maker of the HDD and when the drive dies is this unit a throw away or can the HDD be replaced?
  • Big let down outside of the Time Capsule. Now I'm going to return the Extreme I just picked up 2 weeks ago. Hopefully it doesn't have the same problems.
