The most important thing that we all need to do is backup. But lousiness has surrounded our lives to the fullest and hence Apple launched its latest fully automatic wireless backup drive to sort this problem out. Just read on and I bet you are sure to be flabbergasted by its awesome features:-

1. Backup

  • Included with its huge capacity of 1TB, 2TB or 3TB it is supported by Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard. You just need to let it backup initially keeping it on for a night or several hours and then enjoy its high speed backup of the new files added to your computer automatically.
  • Have a lot of Mac computers at home? No need to worry now this smart device can perform backup from all these PC’s at once.

2. Wireless Base Station

  • The ultimate device offers you a secure wireless net connectivity for you as well as your friends. Just create a separate network with/without password for your friends. This enables a safe network of your own with your drives and printer connected.
  • Apart from offering a centralized use of your printer it lets other computers having windows or tiger also to use this great and fast access to the internet using the 802.11n technology.
  • If you need your personal file server the only thing you need to do is register your Time Capsule with the Mobile Me account and then access the whole drive from anywhere over the internet.

3. Setup

The easiest task which gets you start backing up your files is to     sync your preinstalled Time Machine with the Time Capsule. Just click on system preferences and then select Time Machine. Slide the device to on position and then get it ready for using it as backup hard drive.

4. Usability and Cost

This 3.5 pound device can be used in all normal environments with a   line voltage of 100-240V 50-60 HZ AC supply. Its cost is a whopping 300$ for its 1TB model and 500$ for its 2TB model.

 

Blogger’s Review: – Looking into all the features that it provides is it worth the cost? In my view a lot of other companies like Seagate and Transcend offer hard drives at much lower costs. Combining the price of a Seagate’s 3TB hard drive and the wireless station offered by Iomega comes down to a mere 150$(approx. as on Amazon.com). So it’s all up to you now on whether you wish to pay for the brand or for the technology.
