I’ve been looking for a back up solution that would work for both my wife and I for awhile. When I first got my big old iMac I used Time Machine (Apple’s auto back up) with an external hard drive, but when we got my wife a Mac Book Pro it became a pain to share the drive back and forth. Most of the time it would wipe out one of out back ups and replace it with the one from the other computer. It was also hard for her to get in the habit of plugging everything in and backing up and it was a pain to trouble shoot. We could just got another external back up but I liked the idea of having everything on one place. Mostly more drives mean more things, more cords more trying to fix stuff when it doesn’t work. I looked at Apple’s Time Capsule and it received mixed reviews. Some people said it quit on them after 18 or 19 months, others said it was slow. Further research revealed that a lot of the bad reviews were from people who didn’t understand the product or reviewed the first generation. I spoke with Jace (what an Apple store kinda name) at the Apple store who told me his had been working fine for over 2 years with no problems and that most people with problems covered their Time Capsule so that heat from the hard drive couldn’t escape there for burning out the power supply. The new 802.11n simultaneous dual band Time Capsule uses a server grade hard drive and broadcasts both a 2.4 and 5 GHz signal. I set it up quick and easy and connected both my wife’s and my computer to it. So far so good. Our overall network speed is faster than our 2 year old AirPort Extreme and I haven’t noticed a big difference in network speed even when the Time Capsule is backing up both computers at the same time. I even downloaded the new Massive Attack at the same time with no hang-ups. SO far I’m very happy with the purchase. I’m a busy guy so a set and forget it solution is great. I love not having wires and the thing is faster than out Airport was (anyone need an Airport? I’ll give you a deal). I’ll let you know in 18 months (or sooner ) if this was worth it.
