Would this work to back up over 30,000 photos, plus some documents and music? Or would I need the airport time capsule?

Depends on how much space that stuff takes up on your hard drive. As long as the stuff doesn't exceed 1 terabyte it will copy to the tiny drive. Airport capsule costs more, is ongoing more elegant answer, renewing backup as you add more stuff needing saving.

You can attach printers to the USB port, I used a splitter to attach two printers. And according to the booklet that came with it you can use an airport time capsule with it. I hope that helps.

Hi John, it will works perfectly and if you want to make a backup using your Time Machine you only need to chance in your Utility Disk the status to -&gt; Mac OS Plus (registrer).

Not an expert on this, but after my own recent unbacked-up-data-loss fiasco, I *believe* Time Machine (part of Apple OS X) not only backs up each item---text file, photo, song, movie, etc.---on your computer, but creates a whole copy ("image") of the complete contents of your computer---including apps. In the event of data-loss disaster, you can simply restore your complete computer the way it was. This drive's features list describes it "Time Machine ready"

Yes, it will work. It will provide you with plenty of backup. Only drawback, the extra weight.

Yes, I use it for that. I did use apple disc utility and partitioned mine for 1tb to be used specifically for time machine though. If you need all 4 for just backups it should work. That seems excessive though to me

There are benefits and cons to both. The biggest pro for the Time Capsule is of course the embedded HD. The reason I brought that up specifically is because my Airport Extreme has had issues connecting to my Seagate 3TB HD (STCA3000101). After determining that the USB cable was the problem it's been working fine ever since. The pro with the Airport Extreme is the ability to use different hard drives with increased capacity.

Depending on the amount of files that you want to back up I would use this one. I have pictures, MS Word, pdf, and other important documents backed up on mine.

I use this exclusively with multiple Mac's, and it performs beautifully, dependent on the reliability and speed of your router, of course. I'm not sure what you mean by your plans to connect via a time Capsule, which is an independent drive. You'll need to connect through a router, I think, such as the Airport Extreme or any other router with an open ethernet port. Check the Seagate page for the specific configuration you plan, and I think they'll prove responsive to any questions you have. Hope this helps.

Time Capsule is running with Airport utility and works well with Mavericks or Leopard or Snow Leopard.

Time Capsule is simply a AirPort Extreme with an internal hard drive. BUY THE AIRPORT. Time capsule is prone to crashing and losing your data. Trust me, it did it to me three times before I went out and bought a drobo with triple backup protection.

actually I spoke with a Mac genius who said that you can access the same folders on Time Capsule from several different computers. Its not real time sharing, but it'll do the trick.

I've never used it for that, but according to the User Manual, it should work. I use it for storing digital imagery when on trips. If you don't have it, download the User Manual in PDF format here: http://media.kingston.com/support/downloads/WiDrive_KF_UserManual.pdf

Yes, I used time machine from Mac to back up my files. Worked slick when I moved them to another Mac.
