Victor Cajiao has posted that it doesn’t appear that Apple’s Time Capsule is using Server-Grade hard drives. It appears that the 1 TB option contains an Hitachi Deskstar 7K100.

The manufacturer’s data sheet for the drive doesn’t refer to having a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) - something that you would expect to be proudly referred to if the drive was indeed server-grade.

Can anyone add some light on this? Is Steve Jobs guilty of false advertising?

nakedmac recently posted these photos of a de-constructed Time Capsule. I was waiting for photos like this to come out… and sure enough here they are!

I found it very interesting to find that there IS a fan to cool down the unit.

Be sure to check out these photos in nakdemac’s flickr. Very interesting stuff indeed.

Question to all of you out there… What would you like to see ME de-construct!? :)

Lots of good stuff happened at this years Macworld. There was Time Capsule, new iPhone and iPod updates, iTunes movie rentals, Apple TV 2.0 and of course the new MacBook Air.

In your opinion, what was the biggest announcement at Macworld 2008?

‘The Steve’ is on stage and has already announced one new product called ‘Time Capsule’.

This fills a need for laptop users that are tired of plugging in and running Time Machine on external hard drives.

Basically Time Capsule is a full Airport Extreme base station with a server grade internal hard drive. Woohoo! It will be available in 2 versions, a 500GB version for $299USD and a 1TB version for $499.

Special thanks to MacRumorsLive for the photo.
