Works great.

Not a problem that I missed the new Time Capsule hardware update. The speed is much faster than what I had before. (A Netgear router.) Also, I understand the previous version of the Time Capsule (before March), was much slower. So, I am quite satisfied.

Thanks,
Alan

I use it to store iTunes and iPhoto media for my wife's iMac and my PC and the lag is ridiculous. Update the NIC ports to 1Gbps, get some faster HDDs in it.]]>Oct 21st 2009 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/apple-quietly-updates-airport-extreme-and-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/apple-quietly-updates-airport-extreme-and-time-capsule/It corrupted my HDD and I lost all my TM backups.

Details...

I bought my AEBS this week and set up. WiFi works great. Attached a WD MyBook 500GB via USB. I have been using this drive with TM for a year or so with FireWire. Has been fine.

Once attached to the AEBS I could mount the drive from anywhere on my network. It worked great.

I ran TM and pointed it at the ext HDD.
It started the backup and after a few minutes it failed with an insufficient space error.

Connected the HDD directly to the Laptop again via FireWire.

the MyMacName_001b63ada64e.sparsebundle file was corrupted. The file size was zero. This is the file that TM uses to store all the backups!

Apple was on the phone with me and said you have to start from scratch.

He repeated that using TM with a HDD attached to the USB port of an AEBS is NOT SUPPORTED and is not guaranteed to work. He knows that some people have gotten it to work but it is not reliable and it might work for a while and then they might have a problem.

I said that TM should be smarter about it. Rather than attempt to do the back up and then corrupt the database it should display a message "TM does not support backups to AEBS HDD." and then prevent.

He said that I should re-partition the HDD (he suggested GIUD partition table scheme - under the OPTIONS button in Disk Utility)

Nilay references that option in the Airport to use "wide channels." '...This bundles two 802.11n channels together, and it's a big reason for the speed boost. ..'

My question is does anyone know the setup nomenclature D-Link uses for this feature? (Specifically DIR-825).

I've been messing in the emulator, and can't seem to locate it.]]>Dec 10th 2009 12:19PM
