   It should be mentioned that Apple now offer the Time Capsule in 2TB and 3TB configurations in Australia now. RRP is also a fair bit lower than what this review says with the 2TB version at $319 and the 3TB version at $529 from the Apple Store. Extremely happy with the Time Capsule. It does what it says on the box with no problems. Set up doesn't require any manual config or tech knowledge. Performance is top notch and using it as a NAS device also works well. Read more
