Apple Time Capsule 2TB Disk Upgrade - Quick and Easy

Today we will upgrade a second generation early 2009 replacing the old 500GB disk with a much larger 2tb disk. We've got three Macs in our house so backing things up is a must. Apple's Time Machine and Time Capsule make this super easy.

This is super useful, thank you for sharing! 2TB of storage would really help me out

Andrew, great video. But I'm not sure I understand exactly what that machine that you are using is. It doesn't look like any Mac Mini that I recall. Thanks

It's called an Apple Time Capsule - It functioned as a Wifi Router and access point as well as local back up for your Mac

using a sdd could make file transfer faster?

I've seen on another channel where someone swapped a SSD into one of these and no big difference was achieved. Your average HDD writes 80-160MB a second, the gigabit ethernet port on the device is going to give you 110MB or so of throughput. Any sort of extra speed from a SSD wouldn't be worth it with the bottleneck being the physical port speed.
