Faster than 1st Gen. Time Capsule, might have a problem with OSX Catalina

An improvement over my nine year old used 1st generation Time Capsule that I bought on eBay in that backups are faster now. Unfortunately, OSX Catalina doesn't work as well with it as has been reported on the Apple Community Support site. This one has worked well for the past few weeks since I bought it up until a few days ago when it stopped backing up. Thankfully, making a whole new backup was quick. My old one, until it started overheating, pretty much always worked. So far, I think this will work for me if it doesn't keep having the problem of not backing up.

There may be some hope that the next generation of OSX will be an improvement with Time Machine but we'll see.Read full review...

Apple users: YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THE PURCHASE OF THIS UNIT!!!!!

I have been looking for a router for YEARS that would work nicely with my apple equipment. HERE it is. I purchased this router with hard drive for I wanted a 'good' way to backup my files (time capsule)AND get a good router. HERE it is folks. The only 'problem was the 1tb hard drive was not adequate for my desktop (3TB). I swapped out the 1TB for a 3TB (Took less than a half hour) and I'm all set. UNFORTUNATELY, I can't drop the Verizon Router so I 'piggy-backed' the 'capsule,' turned OFF the verizon router's 'wireless' function and use the Apple's exclusively. I am VERY happy with this unit.Read full review...

Nothing beats the apple time capsule. A combination of external hard and a router. A must have for a Mac user. Very east to use.

Could have been five stars

It could’ve been five stars if the indicator light worked. I did not see that listed as not working in the description of the item but it’s four stars because it works once I figured out if it was on or off. Thank youRead full review...

Bad product - only worked once

I purchased this in good faith. First I could not get it to work and I had to call apple & pay for tech support. I got it to work one time and then the time capsule would not work anymore. It was a total waste of a good chunk of money I could not afford. I have now found out it can not be repaired. It has been a number of months since I got it but thought a call to tech support (apple) and paying again could fix the problem. I could not afford to do this before. He informed me that the it was dead. the little light on the front has not been on since the first time I got it to work. I didn't realize that meant it was dead.Read full review...

Great product!

I love that I can back up all my files while it doubles as an wireless router.
I originally thought it could also be used as an external hard drive but unfortunately thats not the case. (Which is why I took of 1 star)
But I do feel much better with all my files backed up considering I've lost many files do to computer crashes.
My internet is much faster too!Read full review...

All round great product, worth every penny and then some. A++++++

I bought this as a means of having a centralized device for my office network. I love that i am able to use this as a wireless router, an essential server like storage and to use as effective as any other print server. Absolutely love this buy. One of my smartest online purchases :-) I've had some dumb ones!Read full review...

Perfect Time Machine support

a powerful Wifi Access point easy to setup and integrate and a perfect platform for Time Machine. With a Mac and Time machine you will not loose data anymore and if you loose or sell your mac a clone will be ready in minutes on a new hardware. One of the main reasons to get rid of Microsoft environment in favour of MacOS.Read full review...
