I currently have a D-Link MIMO router and it is working fine. However, more and more of my devices are N capable and I was thinking about moving up to Time Capsule because of the built in HD. I have a few questions on its capabilities before I buy it.

1. Is Time Capsule primarily a Leopard Time Machine device? Can I drag and drop my music, pictures, document folders into Time Capsule as I would a normal direct attached hard drive? Will other computers on this same Time Capsule network be able to read and write those files?

2. Is the HD in Time Capsule constantly on?

3. How difficult is it to make the network printing work? How well does it work?

4. Reading reviews on the Apple website, it seems backing up with Time Capsule and time machine can take up to 30 hours for 100gb of data. Is this true

Those are all the questions off the top of my head. Any help is appreciated.
