It's upsetting to see everyone gloss over one important factor. Time Capsule uses enterprise grade hard drives. You can't compare these to your P.O.S. Seagate consumer drives. They offer cooler performance meaning they last longer. Check out the Western Digital RE4 as an example. These drives cost more because they're built to higher standards, enterprise standards.
My experience? I'm a network administrator.
Wow a network admin and you saying that?
Either way, they are the same HD's we can purchase anywhere.
You sir are with all respect, extremely wrong. They aren't like your consumer drives.
It should also be added that LaCie's external consumer grade 2TB cost $499 for just the drive and enclosure.
People if you can't afford it then go out and buy consumer drives that have a shorter life span and are made cheaper.
Actually you are. Another user above proved you wrong with a link. Suggest actually researching before you post something again.
But but... Apple lied to me? Sorry for the trolling but I agree. Apple is rediculous for thinking they can get away with this highway robbery!
RESEARCH.....and doubt you are a network admin from this topic from what we gather from you.
