APPLE Time Capsule - 3TB $349, 2TB $249, Airport Extreme Base Station $159 Delivered @ DSE

APPLE Time Capsule - 3TB/2TB

Automatic backup with Time Machine.
Time Capsule works automatically with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard to create the perfect no-hassle backup solution. There are no cables, and you can back up all the computers in your home to a central location.

Server-grade storage.
The massive 3TB server-grade hard drive gives you all the capacity and safety you need for backing up all your Mac computers.

Easy wireless networking.
Connect your DSL or cable modem to Time Capsule, then quickly set it up with the easy-to-use AirPort Utility, which is included for both Mac OS X and Windows. Within minutes, you and up to 50 others can use your Mac computers or PCs to surf the web, stream video, share photos, and more – without wires.

Wireless drive sharing.
Time Capsule also works great as a wireless hard drive, whether you have a Mac or a PC. It sets up in a snap, giving you a networked hard drive you can use for storing and sharing all kinds of files. If you're a MobileMe member using a Mac with Mac OS X Leopard, you can even access the files on the drive over the Internet.

Print without wires.
Print documents, photos, and more from any room in your home or office to a central printer connected to Time Capsule via USB. (See system requirements.)

Strong security and access controls.
Protect yourself with the built-in firewall and industry-standard encryption technologies including WPA/WPA2 and 128-bit WEP.

Works with iPhone, Apple TV and more.
Time Capsule works with Mac computers, PCs, iPhone, iPod touch, Apple TV, and virtually all 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi wireless devices – all at the same time.

    with the new 802.11ac version released being so much quicker, is it still worth getting the outdated ones?

      Depends if you have/plan to have, 802.11ac enabled devices.

    • Noslee on 12/06/2013 - 21:30

      For $100 saving from the new, probably yes.

    • Smigit on 12/06/2013 - 22:51

      At these prices I don't think so unless you are absolutely certain you won't go to 802.11ac or you really dislike the form factor of the new units. There is an almost $100 saving to be made here which isn't to be taken lightly, but even then they aren't cheap devices so if you were set on Apple networking hardware I'd just wear the cost and get the new one. Networking standards tend to stick around a bit, and you're buying early so any wireless ac hardware should have some longevity to it.

      You can also wait a few months and I'm sure the new models will begin to pop up on Apples refurb store.

    "The hard drive typically found in a Time Capsule is the Hitachi Deskstar, which is sold by Hitachi as a consumer-grade product—the Hitachi Ultrastar is the enterprise version.[13] Apple labeled the drive as a server-grade drive in promotional material for Time Capsule, and also used this type of drive in its discontinued Xserve servers."

    Interesting, I wonder how the sheepies read the obvious promo terms…

    That's too expensive for me …..

  • quarrymaster on 13/06/2013 - 11:12

    It's actually a pretty good price if you were looking at getting the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsules, and you don't think you will benefit much from devices with 802.11ac in the next couple of years.

    While there may be other similar alternatives on the market, the Time Capsule is still the best for Mac users. You will still get the occasional "What the…" with your Time Machine backup, but rest assured it's even worse with most third party solutions.

    dual band router that works with time machine (Netgear WNDR4500) + 2Tb HDD 7200HDD = around $172+$89 = $261

    time capsule 2TB at 249 seems great :)

    • quarrymaster on 16/06/2013 - 20:19

      Problem is Time Machine can be a pita and 3rd party solutions can only throw their hands up when something breaks and hope Apple will fix the problem.
