The Time Capsule is a lie!

You probably have heard about it. Apple’s time capsules dying by the billions after about 18 months of use. There has been many angry writings about it and some folks even opened a register for deceased TimeCapsules.

Apple so far has taken no action on the matter. But at work we did. We found the cure! Indeed there is one. Yup we can fix them, no i’m not saying how. Have it checked and repaired at our technical service if you want.

Another discovery we did is that apple’s so called “server grade” harddisk is a mere Fujitsu Small and Home Office (Soho) disk. It even says so on the label on the disk. What does this mean? That it’s a default regular non-special disk found in any iMac for the last 3 or so years. Nothing server grade about it. And thus as “unreliable” as any other disk.

That, plus the Time Capsules dying because of some poor components makes me think this thing is kind of a lame product after all. I rather see an Airport Extreme with an e-Sata bus next to the USB port. More scalable and reliable that way.
