Apple Time Capsule: the perfect Time Machine companion
Let’s admit it: from day one that Apple introduced Leopard’s Time Machine, finding an adequate hard disk to fit the tedious task of backing up our data has been quite a problem.
More problems for a multi-user home (more and more out there).
Meet Apple Time Capsule, right from the same MacWorld Expo where MacBook Air
was born!
What’s inside Time Capsule?
- an Airport Extreme 802.11N base station, well known and quite proven,
- three Gigabit ethernet ports,
- one USB port for printer sharing,
- a 500GB or 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA server-grade hard disk drive
- same sleek form factor of Apple TV.
The hard disk is available to all connected Leopard users as the preferred Time Machine default storage device.
(By the way, Tiger and Windows users are allowed to access the disk too…)
Available for pre-order in 500 GB an 1 TB flavors, the Time Capsule retails US$299.99 and US$ 499.99 respectively.
