Hard Drive DOA Aug 03, 2008
Apple Time Capsule MB276LL/A 802.11n 500 GB Network Backup Hard Drive Hard drive would not work. Am using a drive from Segate. I like the time capsule software and the backups.

Poor performance and not worth the expense Jul 24, 2008
Like most of you I buy Apple products because of the simple reason that they just work. No hassle. No fuss. Just plug and play. I use them in my office, at home, and always recommend Apple products to my friends, family, and clients.

Therefore, I don't take it lightly when I recommend that you DONT purchase Time Capsule. Unlike Apple's other wireless devices, Time Capsule just doesn't work the way it was intended. Yes, it will back up your computer; and yes it will provide wireless coverage in your house. However, when the device is backing up, it makes browsing the web or downloading email nearly impossible. There is "hang time" in which the browser or Mail will time out. I can't begin to tell you how frustrated you will become when in the middle of doing research or need to get to your email that you will be thwarted by that little clock in the menu bar going in reverse.

Life becomes even more complicated if you own a non-apple wireless device, such as the Logitech Squeezebox. The two just don't play well together, and what should be a great music enhancing device gets "sabotaged" by Time Capsule's inability to sync properly.

As much as I love Apple, this is one product I recommend you think twice about (I have never actually wanted to throw something against the wall before I used this device). If you are in need of wireless connectivity, buy the Airport Extreme--it works incredibly well, never cuts out, and supports third party devices.

Hope this helps.

Little hard to set up, but once it is going it does the job well

Awesome product Jul 02, 2008
I does what it needs to do... and yes, the first backup takes forever. I took me almost 5 days in a row to complete the first backup of 297GB (that's why is 4 stars) After that you don't even need to look at it... I also have it as a router and it works fine. I have a USB hub since it only has 1 port (also 4 stars for that) and there I connect my other external disks which are now share within my network (and you have the option of prompting for a password to open the disk) I only wish my stupid printer Lexmark X1270 was compatible with Mac.

A cop out for prior Airport Extreme with external Drives Jul 01, 2008
What a cop out to not support Time Machine backups to Airport Extremes with external drives.

I for instance have the newer Airport Extreme (draft-n) with a 1 TB drive on it that I can send files to and stream from.

But I cannot use it for backups.

Apple's solution: junk it and buy the Time Capsule with "internal" 1 TB hard drive.
