[QUOTE="SODworks, post: 1547782, member: 314146"] Hello lrd, 2 years ago I bought a 3TB Time Capsule because I wanted mass storage and the availability to access it wirelessly. My iTunes library which is roughly 2.5TBs is sitting in the Time Capsule. It's great because I can access it with any mac and it doesn't fill up my Macbook. Obviously that is not what the Time Capsule is there for. But I will be doing exactly the same thing in roughly 3 months time as I will buy the 2013 iMac maxed out. Like yourself, I will purchase a 4TB but I will use it for my iTunes library which was previously used on the Time Capsule. I will then use the 3TB Time Capsule to backup my Macbook Pro and iMac and use it as it should have been used 2 years ago when I bought it. My Macbook pro has 240GB SSD and the iMac will have 1TB SSD. My wife has 500GBs in her macbook pro so all together, the 3TB Time Capsule will be more than enough for these tasks and plus it's wireless. The new one is pricey and if your looking for a cheaper variant then I would suggest the 3 or 2 TB Time capsule from last year. I've been seeing the 3TB version from last year go for about 150$ and because it's apple it's wireless and long lasting :) If you have money to spend then I would get the 3TB Time Capsule from 2013. I've got the Airport Extreme 2013 and am very happy with it. Again it's up to you and I hope this helps a little, regards, Robin [/QUOTE]
