"Everything I ever wanted"
Pros: All in one, USB expandable
Cons: Cost a lot for the 1TB
Summary: I have an apple tv and a macbook. The problem is all the movies and tv shows ect take up a lot of room. The ATV has a hard drive on it, but not near big enough, so I bought and external hard drive. However, to be able to stream my movies from it the the ATV I have to plug it in every time. It gets old. I HATE wires, and I'm glad that Steve Jobs too. With the TC I can have all the movies ect on the TC and stream them to the ATV. Plus now it doesn't look bad with an external hard drive hooked to the airport extreme base station. In the future though I always know that I can get a usb hub and hook as many hard drives and printers I want to the TC. The 1 TB version I think is way overpriced, but the 500 GB is right on. It's about the same price for that as a cheap external HD and the airport extreme. I think the TC is perfect for the person who hates wires and especially perfect for those with an ATV. As far as breaking down, not worried. The "server grade" HD is supposed to last at least 1 million hours. At that rate is should work for at least 41,666 days, which is over 114 years. I sure that I'll want something else in 10 years, probably less.
