Time Capsule Not Using a Server-Grade Hard Drive?
<img src="http://www.mactropolis.com/images/blog/time-capsule-front.gif" alt="Time Capsule Not Using Server-Grade Hard Drive?" align="right" height="82" width="210" />Victor Cajiao has <a href="http://typicalmacuser.com/wordpress/2008/03/01/time-capsules-server-grade-hard-drive-really/" target="_blank">posted</a> 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.
<strong><em>Can anyone add some light on this? Is Steve Jobs guilty of false advertising?</em></strong>
