[QUOTE="hempomatic, post: 1914518, member: 335450"] The time capsule does in fact have a USB port. I plugged in a relatively blank thumb drive . When I go to the TM set-up, It seems I can choose THAT drive as my back-up. Does that make sense? I assume then if I simply plug in a large drive, I can use TM like I used to and have an effective back up? WD does not seem to be a fan favorite, what do you guys recommend? Even if it's relatively unreliable, if I'm only using it a few minutes every day, any drive should hold up reasonably well, yes? Also, as Jake mentioned, plugging into the router did NOT show the networked drive in disk utility. [/QUOTE]
