    Great Product, works well with other apple products. Pro Tip: Connect the time machine to your computer via Ethernet or firewire to expedite the initial backup, otherwise it will take you hours (possibly days) to complete the initial backup.

    This is my first time capsule/router. I still use my old airport extreme. I like the fact that I can save everything wirelessly. The automatic backups of my macbook pro is just a bonus.

    The first one I bought didn't work. Took back. Best Buy easy to work with. Second one very easy to install. Backs up three computers flawlessly. After initial backup, backs up each day only the stuff that's different from last backup.

    I just moved into a new home with a cable company wifi subscription and router. The speed seemed sluggish and I kept losing my connection. Someone mentioned the Time Capsule as an option to replace my router. It was really easy to set up and it works like a charm!

    This works very well as expected for an Apple product. The price was a little high but you know it’s going to last longer and work reliable straight out of the box. Paying more for an Apple product seems like a waste of money until you realize that most other comparable products are vastly inferior. Also does a nice jump of boosting local WiFi speed.

    For the price, your getting a wireless router and a 2 GB hard drive that can be used to back up your devices wirelessly...that's it. In comparison to my previous $20 router it is a little better (range wise) but not significantly enough to justify the price in any way. I have also yet to be able to wirelessly back up any of my devices because of the rather complicated and tedious process required to do so--which I find to be uncommon in regards to all the other apple products I own. In the end, I wouldn't buy it again and I wouldn't recommend, unfortunately.

    Set up was a bit cumbersome but a few quick google searches and I was able to resolve the issues I encountered. I did read that Apple will no longer sell time capsule devices but will continue to support with any relevant security patches. Overall I am pleased and relieved that I have a reliable way to seamlessly back up my Mac

    This product does exactly what it was designed for. It works flawlessly as an internet router and an external HD for backup. Although I still think it's pricey, it's worth the money. I had no problem so far backing up my mac or using it as a router.

    This is great for time machine on Macs. I was hoping to utilize for photo backups, but the file size means extremely slow transfer times. Still using it, but wasn't what I envisioned.
