If you've recently been on mac-related forums or apple support, you will know that the Time Capsule is having major issues. As you may know, the TC came out around early last year, and just recently, around 1000 TCs had broken down and impossible to fix without inter-modding or a new machine given under Apple's Warranty. Listen to this: If you have or are going to buy one, do expect your Time Capsule to break down and die around 17-20 months old, mostly exact 18 months (as people recently called this the "magic" number).
This is issue is known due to the power supply, since the whole thing is so packed up together inside, the power supply just can't hold to the intensely high temperature (yes the fan is ****). In result your whole damn TC will break down, and you can either mod it by changing it's capacitors (sorry Taiwanese don't know if the word is spelled right) or change the internal power supply to external.
The thing that is really really pissing me off is due to Apple's ignorance, they don't accept or agree that their product has a flaw, here is the case: My cousin's time capsule broke down after 17.6 months and he took it to the apple store (they want him to buy a new one), and i called the next day (just to test them out if they are lairs, turned out they were), and they said they haven't got a case with a time capsule breaking down. You see? this is how ignorant and selfish Apple is, and they go: you should have bought apple care, i was like WTF, u money ripper son of a ****.
So in conclusion, do not buy the Time Capsule anymore, at least for now until this problem is fixed and a new model comes out. Seriously, you can find further evidence and complaints in the following sites and forums:

We really need to let Apple know that they should stop messing with their customers, we chose apple in the first place due to it's simple and error-less specialty, and now after all these major problems with snow leopard (some people lost everything) and time capsule (poor engineered product), you are telling us to question you. And i did not pay hundreds of bucks just to buy a so claimed "server-grade" wireless hard drive just to know that it will die within 18 month old.
Apple, stop being so ignorant, or the consequences may be unbearable (if such silence continues to be proposed by apple)
Thank you for reading this apple fans, of course i love apple (I have almost all apple products), but this is serious, because this is more like the act of deception. Please apple, do not disappoint us (wake up steve jobs).
Have a good day members.
