Inside Time Capsule's sleek design is a 1 TB hard drive. | Works with Time Machine for Easy Backups
Time Capsule includes a wireless 1TB hard drive designed to work with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard. Just set Time Capsule as the designated backup drive for Time Machine, and that's it. Depending on how much data you have, your initial backup with Time Capsule could take overnight or longer. After it completes, only changed files are backed up - automatically, wirelessly, and in the background. So you never have to worry about backing up again. Even better, new technologies in Time Capsule and refinements to Time Machine make backing up to Time Capsule using Snow Leopard faster than before. Backup Multiple Computers
Have multiple Mac computers in your house? Time Capsule can back up and store files for each Leopard- and Snow Leopard-based Mac on your wireless network. No longer do you have to attach an external drive to each Mac every time you want to back up. Time Capsule spares you the work. 1TB Provides Plenty of Space
Time Capsule is your one place for backing up everything. Its massive 1TB server-grade hard drive gives you all the capacity and safety you need. So whether you have 250 songs or 250,000 songs to back up, room is the last thing you’ll run out of. Ultimate Wireless Base Station
More than just a wireless hard drive, Time Capsule is also a full-featured AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n technology. Experience a high-speed wireless network and a breakthrough way to back up all the Mac computers on your network. All in one device. Simultaneous Dual-Band Support
Some Wi-Fi devices use the 2.4GHz wireless band, including iPhone, iPod touch, and devices using 802.11b/g. Other devices can use either 2.4GHz or the higher-speed 5GHz band, such as the latest 802.11n-based Mac computers and Apple TV. Instead of choosing one of the bands, Time Capsule operates simultaneously on both bands, and your multiband devices automatically use the best available band. This means all your Wi-Fi devices get the fastest possible wireless performance and the best possible range. In addition, Time Capsule reduces the possibility of interference from appliances and cordless phones that use the 2.4GHz band. 
Time Capsule can backup multiple Macs automatically. | Share the Internet Securely with Guest Networking
It’s easy to allow guests to use your Internet connection without sharing your password or giving them access to the rest of your network. Simply enable the guest networking feature using the AirPort Utility application and create a separate Wi-Fi network just for your friends. You can set up this guest network with a different password or with none at all. Your primary network - including your printer, attached drives, or other devices - remains secure. Share a Printer or Additional Hard Drive with USB Port
The included USB port is great for sharing a printer throughout your wireless network. Time Capsule and the Bonjour networking technology let everyone in the house or office - Mac and PC users alike - take advantage of one centrally located printer. And if you want to share both a printer and an additional hard drive, you can. Just connect a USB hub to Time Capsule. Whatever the combination, Time Capsule divides and conquers. 
Time Capsule is compatible with Macs and PCs. | Works with Mac and PC.
Time Capsule with Time Machine in Leopard or Snow Leopard is the ideal backup solution. But that doesn’t mean Mac OS X Tiger, Windows XP, and Windows Vista users can’t enjoy the benefits of Time Capsule, too. Because Time Capsule mounts as a wireless hard drive, Tiger and Windows users simply access Time Capsule directly from the wireless network for exchanging and storing files quickly and easily. Apple Time Capsule measures 7.7 x 7.7 x 1.4 inches. It is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box
Time Capsule, CD with AirPort Utility (Mac and Windows), AirPort Disk Utility for Windows, and Bonjour for Windows, Power cord, Printed and electronic documentation
Simultaneous dual-band operation allows for optimal performance of your wireless devices. |

 Great while it worked September 1, 2010

My 1TB time capsule lasted for 2.5 years before the power supply failed due to overheating. While it worked, I used it as my router and for backing up Windows and Macintosh computers on my network. It worked very well for those tasks and I never had problems. It was an extremely easy product to set up and use. The router was especially stable, and it never froze or had to be reset. The lack of web-based configuration software bugged me, but wasn't a major issue in my home network environment. Two weeks ago, I lost my internet connection and, upon further investigation, found that the Time Capsule had shut off completely, even though it was plugged in. Attempts to power cycle the unit sometimes resulted in brief resuscitation, with the LED blinking amber and the hard drive starting to spin up, but it would never work for more than a few seconds before shutting down. When extracted from the unit, the hard drive worked fine.
The bottom line is that the Time Capsule's design is flawed and does not provide enough ventilation to the power supply inside of these units. If you are considering a Time Capsule, search the internet for "Time Capsule Dead" and learn about how widespread this issue is. Apple has acknowledged the problem and has a replacement program for dead Time Capsules within a certain range of serial numbers, but there is little evidence that they have solved the problem on newer or replacement units. Given the extremely limited lifespan of this product, I do not recommend it and have since salvaged the 1 TB drive and attached it to a network attached storage device from another company.

I purchased this product about a month ago, and I couldn't be happier. I replaced a Netgear wireless router and 2 Netgear USB print servers. As with most Apple products, it was easy to configure and I had it working in only a few minutes.
Although the Time Capsule backup ability is key, the thing that I like the best is the integrated wireless router and the ability to attach USB printers and hard drives. I have 2 printers (HP LaserJet & HP InkJet) and 1 USB hard drive attached to the Time Capsule via a USB hub, and they all work flawlessly. Each printer was easy to configure on both Mac OSX (Airport Utility) and Windows 7 boxes (Bonjour print service). It was a little bit harder to get the USB hard drive working, but that was because I did not understand that the drive had to be formated HFS+ in order to be seen by the Time Capsule. This is not clear in the documentation, but once I figured that out, it was just plug and play.
I have not had the device long enough to see if it is going to last more than a year, but I certainly hope it does. Overall, I am very happy with the product and highly recommend it.
Easy to set up, great quality August 20, 2010

Time Capsule serves for two purposes: backing up your data if you own a Mac computer, and also as a router for setting up a home wireless network. You can say Time Capsule is pricey, but the simple setup, hassle-free use and backups and the also simple configuration settings, will make you realize you've made a good investment.
First of all: this is not a product for Windows users. If you don't own a Mac, you'll be better with other solutions around. Now if you're on the Apple fold, this will work like a charm with tools you already have (if you are on Snow Leopard), like the AirPort utility and Network settings.
Time Capsule is truly plug-and-play: you turn it on, connect it to your Mac, and you start backing up. In my experience (using a mid-2009 MBP and a brand-new mid-2010 iMac) doing backups can be a whole lot faster using 802.11n Wifi. If you try to use a Ethernet cable, you'll be treated with the slowest backup speeds ever.
After that, it's just set it and forget it. It backs my two Macs up wirelessly and seamlessly, while providing Internet access to all our computers, including my mom's PC, and also helping us in sharing a printer with Bonjour (standard on Macs, a downloadable standalone application on Windows).
As of now, I'm pretty happy with my purchase and willing to recommend it to people who use Macs. If you don't, better try some other, cheaper routing solutions.
