Western Digital 2TB My Book Studio External Hard Drive via Airport Extreme vs Time Capsule - 2TB
I want to set up an external drive for my systems with the following specs:
Will either or both of the above hard drives be able to meet the specs?
Any comments about the usability, flexibility, and reliability of the devices?
Anyone have positive or negative experience using either of the devices?
Thank you.

I want to set up an external drive for my systems with the following specs:
- Connection to my local network via ethernet (connection to a hub) rather than wireless for performance and security reasons (I do not want a Internet connection on the device).
- Ability to do Time Machine backups for an iMac and MacBook Air along with using the device for file storage.
- Ability to connect a printer via USB cable to the device that can be used by iPads/iPhone using AirPrint (make a non-Airprint printer accessible to the iPads/iPhones).
- Connect one or two USB external hard drives so that they are available via the local network (I'd like one or both to be DOS formatted so they can be accessed from Window computers).
Will either or both of the above hard drives be able to meet the specs?
