Time Capsule

[David Cooper]

It appears that Apple have removed their US Time Capsule review
section. (See link on the Time Capsule Dead.org site.)

Apple have described the Time Capsule as being server grade storage.
But going by chatter on the net a fair number are failing after 17/18
months possibly due to heat soaked capacitors failing in the power unit.

Have the TCs only been out for about 18 months. If so could the
current failures be just the start of a tidal wave ?

I hope that Apple's designers have not gone for style over substance
on this product.

This looks like a nice Time Capsule replacement if all you are after
is storage and Time machine compatibility and streaming to media
devices and torrent downloading and remote access...

We have a Time Capsule at Trilby and it seems to be working well, I
wonder if these problems are down to a bad batch of capacitors. Good
job its only a backup device!

It would be interesting to see how fast ethernet ran at on it. It
looks handy.

I love the comments -> “should have been raid 5”. Apparently it
“should” defy the laws of physics :)
