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?
