Apple Time Capsule (1TB, Fall 2009) price range: $238.00 - $405.09
- Reviewed by: Dong Ngo and Eric Franklin
- Reviewed on: 12/08/2009
The good: Fast wireless 5GHz throughput; fantastic NAS performance; storage included; easy to use; true dual-band; guest networking; printer and network storage support; works with Apple Time Machine software; good-looking design.
The bad: Expensive; limited networking and network storage features; no bundled backup software for Windows; hard drive is not user-serviceable; no media or iTunes server; picky support for USB printers; only three Ethernet ports; no Web interface; no remote access for Windows users; setup, administration, and storage sharing require OS X 10.4 or later; runs hot.
The bottom line: The Apple Time Capsule is a convenient and simple wireless router and NAS server combo for your home. Unfortunately, especially in the case of the 1TB version, you can find better deals on devices that offer greater storage space and many more features for the price.

Pros: Time capsule works great, I back up three computers to my 1TB TC. Bought a refurb model when it was on sale after price reduction.
Cons: would like to see more USB and ethernet connections.
Summary: Was too expensive before price reduction when new models came out.
