Apple Time Capsule not so server grade after all, some would even say poop grade!


Server grade my rosy red butt!

Well, well, well, Mr. Apple. Lie much? Apple’s Time Capsule doesn’t have a “server grade” hard drive in it — as they claim on their website. Instead they use a hard drive that I would keep pictures of a dead squirrel on, the 1 TB Hitachi Deskstar HDS721010KLA330. That’s right, people: the HDS721010KLA330. That’s like putting a DRX3230103309A in place of a 449332ADHD233! The drive is found mostly on desktops but since server grade essentially means “it can fit in a server,” there’s no official definition we can fall back on so we have to get up in arms about this.

Come on, Apple. Throw us a bone and don’t lie to us. It’s just not nice.
