time capsule

Been juggling a few different backup solutions in my home, limping by on scattered USB drives and an old Time Capsule that we've outgrown. Don't want to spend the money on a full NAS like a QNAP, thought it might be cheaper to trick out an old USB3 RAID enclosure to handle Time Machine backups...

Hey all, I'm looking to get a little advice on backup options after my TC then Mac Mini died. Background: I had a TC 2GB that I used as my router, but it failed. Rather than replace it with another TC (I felt EOL was coming for TC before they made the announcement), I decided to get an Eero...

Would it create a bottleneck in speeds in using an older Time Capsule that has 802.11n to extend my wifi network where my current Time Capsule is 802.11 a/c as well as all my devices? Would there be a way to set up the old time capsule in a way that amplifies my network without causing a speed...

Hi, I have a 4th gen time capsule and im running out of storage! Tried to upgrade with a seagate but it wouldn't fit in the rubber bumpers. I'm seeing that the WD 6TB green should work, but are there any other options that are known to fit?
