Hello there!
Is it possible to stack up multiple (3) Apple Time Capsules - used also successfully as external disks - on top of each other under an iMac 27?
Be very useful and would spare space.
Would it get a heat issue?
Is there a min distance limit between the devices that has to be taken in consideration?
Thanks for you help.
Cheers
 
The old-style flat Time Capsules were notorious for overheating and having power supply issues.

The newer tower ones aren't as bad.

I assume you mean the former since you're stacking them. I certainly wouldn't. Even if the heat didn't kill them, the vibration wouldn't be ideal with that amount of weight pressure.
