[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1127938, member: 24160"] You are likely reading 2 year old stuff. The reports of the TC failing were in reference to the first gen failing at approx 18 months. My own first gen TC is still going strong at over 3 years old. If the ones you're reading are any newer than that, they're nothing more than the typical hard drive failure - there are no consistent reports of the current model TC having a failure rate higher than any other similar device that I've seen. However, if you're looking for a 1st line backup, I personally recommend an external drive attached directly to your Mac and use SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner to create a bootable backup rather than using Time Machine.
