Hi
For my setup at home, I recently purchased a Airport Extreme base station and have my external 500GB HD connected to it via USB. I am able to access this drives over network and have my entire 90gb iTunes library stored on it.
Now as you all know Time Machine is unable to work for me with my Powerbook G4 and Airport drive setup.
I have been toying with the idea of selling my AE and ext HD and just buying the Time Capsule with 500gb HD instead.
I know Time Capsule is not yet released yet, but does an yone know if there will be significant increase in performance when using the drive over network?
Currently I am using 802.11g. When playing music fro mthe ext HD and trying to do anything else with it, it is quite slow, sluggish and sometime painfully unresponsive. Do you think Time Capsule with built in server-grade HD will resolve these issues?
Any help/advice would be great
Thanks
