Currently I'm using the last generation of the Airport Extreme for my wireless needs. Speeds and coverage all working well - however there's a whine coming from the power supply. This has me looking at buying a used model on CL for $50.

I have an opportunity to purchase the Airport Time Capsule with a 3TB drive for roughly $60 dollars. I understand that drive speeds are slow in these, but it's just for backup, not NAS usage. Is there any reason to not pull the plug?

I was not planning on upgrading my network appliances until I purchased a home. From there I'd go full Ubiquiti or something similiar.
