I am looking for a networking solution that does exactly what the Time Capsule does. Options are:
1. A refurbished 1TB Time Capsule ($219)
2. A comparable LaCie model ($208)
3. Airport Extreme Base station + external drive
4. NAS Drive + any wireless router
5. Wireless router with USB for NAS + external drive
I need a router and an attached storage solution. I will be using the router with a Mac Mini for home theatre (connected physically), a MBP and an iphone (needs 802.11g compatibility).
What is the best option? Money is definitely a factor, I don't want to spend more than the $219 that the Time Capsule costs.
Thanks for any thoughts...
