2 TB in a Time Capsule

After waiting for weeks, we finally and successfully put our hands on a sample of the 2 TB Western Digital HD (thanks to our partner Macway).

Green HD series from Western Digital are probably the perfect unit for network storage, and we installed it in our time Capsule, replacing the 1 TB unit we installed about a year ago.

Once formatted, the HD is perfectly recognized by Time Capsule.

As usual, from the announced 2TB, only 1.8 TB really remains available. You will find the procedure to exchange the HD of your Time Capsule in a previous article we published last year: http://www.hardmac.com/articles/79

Last but not least, this HD swapping is not currently economically interesting. The 2 TB Green HD from WD is hard to find, without competing models, and its price around 300 Euro, about 3 times more than the 1 TB Green HD from the same manufacturer. However, in couple of months, if Apple does not update specifications of its time capsule it might be a rather financially attracting solution to get a large network storage unit.
