I'm looking to upgrade my network by adding an extra hard drive to my Time Capsule (mainly with the idea of using it as a media store to stream music to other computers in the house). What would be a good option for this?
I like the look of the iOmega Minimax for the added bonus of more USB ports but some reports say that it's smaller than the Time Capsule so won't stack? I'd also quite like a bus powered unit (if possible, can the TC power additional hard drives?) to cut down on cabling and outlet needs.
On the question of the Minimax itself, this might be an option for upgrading my desktop's storage separate to the TC. Does anyone here use on? What's your experience? Does it have a tendency to warm up or make noise?
Thanks!
