Customer Review: Time Capsules are dying - Check Apple Support forums
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought a Time Capsule in March, 2008. 500GB. The first one I got at the Apple Store in NYC did not work. I brought it back to the store about two days later and they replaced it, no questions asked.
Since then the Time Capsule has been functioning well. There was one point where it would not back up and after trying a few fixes I had to erase the entire drive and start over. I was not thrilled, but I understand that with computers, there are hassles from time to time.
For the past few weeks the connection would drop at random times and the Time Capsule would reboot. Annoying, odd, but I was not certain about what to do.
Yesterday it died. Fully dead. I brought it to the Apple Genius Bar today and they told me, "Sometimes things break." Nonsense. These are not supposed to have an 18 month shelf life.
If you go to the Apple Support forums you will see loads and loads of people reporting this exact same issue. There are two threads of about 12 pages each. CNet, tuaw, etc. have now all taken notice and written about the plague of dying Time Capsules.
It seems the units run hot and after a while the electrics are cooked and the power source fails. As I understand it, the drive is still fine, but the electrics are shot.
Until Apple publicly addresses and solves this problem do not buy this or any Time Capsule product. In 18 months you will be looking a a very expensive, very white paperweight, and Apple will 'fix' this for you by encouraging you to buy a new one.
