About this product
This is an Apple Time Capsule A1355, combining an 802.11n Wi-Fi base station with a 1TB external hard drive. Manufactured in China, it is designed to provide wireless networking and automatic backup capabilities for Apple devices. As an external drive, it offers centralized storage and network access. The unit powers up, but its full functionality is not tested.
Our take
The Apple Time Capsule A1355 offers a convenient combination of Wi-Fi networking and 1TB of external hard drive storage. It’s an interesting piece of kit for users invested in the Apple ecosystem, providing automatic backups over 802.11n Wi-Fi. The 1TB capacity is reasonable for general backups and file storage for many households. However, potential buyers should be aware that the 'powers up but untested' status means there's an inherent risk regarding its full operational integrity, particularly the Wi-Fi or hard drive functionality. Also, 802.11n is an older Wi-Fi standard, so it won't offer the speed of newer protocols.
