Time Capsule as a harddrive

[bam-bam]

Hi Guys.... i've known time capsule to be wireless backup supply but can you use it as a wireless harddrive ?

Like for instance you have a bunch of MP3's, Movies, photos or whatever, you wanna copy it to your wireless time capsule & access it whenever you want, like via your new apple tv lol off course i got my automator converting my divx movies to apple tv 720p ?

The thought of having an Apple wireless harddrive is wicked cool.

btw,

1. i dont know if there are wireless harddrives out ther, but having an Apple one would be my first choice
2. backing up your computer doesnt necessarily mean you can use it as a storage device, you could if you could backup only one folder then delete the files on your main computer once its finished, then you could use time capsule as a storage facility. Im hoping someone can find a way around this.
3. im kind of a neat freak, so not having wires or a cluttered desk is what im looking for. Just gotta get around my Altec Lansing THX speakers i luv em speakers, for a R1000 speaker set, it sounds better than some peoples R10 000 home theatre systems, thanks to George Lucas & Steve Jobs for THX & Apple.

Anyways tooo much being said now, blame the caffeine

Anyone know a way around the wireless harddrive time capsule thingie ?

Are you upscaling? If so why?

The what?

My airport extreme already has a hdd attached to it (airdisk) and it works pretty well for my media. I dont think I'll be rushing right out for a Time Capsule just yet.

bwana, not upscaling, wish i could thou, just making the movies compatible for apple tv.

wanting to know if i could use the time capsule as a wireless HDD not actually for backup purposes. like copy stuff onto the time capsule & then use the time capsule as a storage facility so i could stream movies from time capsule to the apple tv.

You can.

Time Capsule with Time Machine in Leopard is the ideal backup solution. But that doesn’t mean Tiger, Windows XP, and Windows Vista users can’t enjoy the benefits of Time Capsule, too. Because it mounts as a wireless hard drive, Tiger and Windows users simply access Time Capsule directly from the wireless network for exchanging and storing files quickly and easily.
