I have the first generation Time Capsule (early 2008) with a 500GB built-in hard drive. I also have the Netgear 614 router connected to the Time Capsule so I can broadcast another SSID at the 2.4Ghz frequency (Time Capsule is running at 5Ghz only) so I can connect my iPhones.
The Netgear router just died, and I really don't want to change the Time Capsule frequency to the 2.4Ghz frequency as my AppleTVs, iPads, and Macs can take advantage of the 5Ghz frequency. So I've decided to upgrade my existing Time Capsule to the current model that can broadcast two frequencies simultaneously.
My question is, should I get the 2TB Time Capsule, or should I get the Airport Extreme and an external hard drive separately? I do need another hard drive as my photo and video libraries keep expanding. Which would be a better option? I have another 2TB for my Time Machine backup.
For hard drive, I was thinking about the Drobo since it maybe a better investment in the long run since it's more expandable? Or getting the 2TB Time Capsule would be adequate? I shoot maybe around 300-500 pictures a month on my 7D (I shoot RAW). And I also buy maybe 10 movies/TV shows per month. What's your recommendation? Thank you.
