I have been using my Synology NAS as my primary Time Machine backup for a couple of years, but I still had this old Apple Time Capsule from around 2009 sitting in a cupboard, I also had a spare drive, so in this video, I will briefly introduce the device, then take the bottom off and replace the original 1TB drive with a 2TB drive.
A hairdryer is involved, but no Time Capsules were injured in the making of this video.
These devices are actually amazing, for not just Time Machine, you can use them as regular network storage, they are quite power efficient and seem to last for years (famous last words?), this is definitely a product that Apple should still be selling.
