Apple MB276LL/A Time Capsule Wireless 500GB Hard Drive - Windows / Macintosh

Backing up is something we all know we should do, but often don't. And while disaster is a great motivator, now it doesn't have to be. Because with Time Capsule, the nagging need to back up has been replaced by automatic, constant protection. And even better, it all happens wirelessly, saving everything important, including your sanity. Time Capsule includes a wireless 500GB Hard Drive designed to work automatically with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard. Just set Time Capsule as the designated backup drive for Time Machine, and that's it. Depending on how much Data you have, your initial backup with Time Capsule could take overnight or longer. After it completes, only changed files are backed up - automatically, wirelessly, and in the background. So you never have to worry about backing up again. Time Capsule with Time Machine in Leopard is the ideal backup solution. But that doesn't mean Tiger, Windows XP, and Windows Vista users can't enjoy the benefits of Time Capsule, too. Because it mounts as a wireless hard drive, Tiger and Windows users simply access Time Capsule directly from the wireless Network for exchanging and storing files quickly and easily. More than just a wireless hard drive; Time Capsule is also a full-featured AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n technology. And it's compatible with Macs and PCS that use 802.11a, b, or g technologies, as well as wireless devices such as iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV. The included USB port is great for sharing a Printer throughout your wireless network. Time Capsule and the Bonjour Networking technology lets everyone in the house or office - Mac and PC users alike - take advantage of one centrally located printer.
