Apple Time Capsule


Using Mac OS X Leopard? If you're, you know that Time Machine in Leopard requires an external hard drive for backup. Now Apple comes out with its own device - Time Capsule.

Time Capsule includes a wireless 500GB or 1TB hard drive designed to work with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard. After the initial backup, only changed files are backed up and it all happens automatically, wirelessly and in the background. Having multiple Macs in your house? Time Capsule can back up and store files for each Leopard-based Mac on your wireless network.

More than just a wireless hard drive, Time Capsule is also a full-featured AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n. It also works as a printer hub. Plug in your USB printer to the Time Capsule and share it with your family members.

If you don't have Mac OS X Leopard or you're a PC user, you can still access Time Capsule as a standard external hard drive.

The 500GB model costs NZ$498 (US$299) and 1TB is NZ$799 (US$499).
