Teardown of 4th gen Time Capsule reveals not so server-grade HDD

Oh boy. That RDF must be getting weak around the Poormac because this just doesn't sound right at all. The new Apple Time Capsule was released with the promise of giving Apple customers a 2TB or 3TB "server-grade" backup option is, anything but. In fact a recent teardown of the latest gen Time Capsule revealed a very consumer-grade Western Digital WD Caviar Green HDD found sitting inside.



I'm not going to knock Western Digital's ability to make decent hard drives but Apple is advertising "server-grade" internals and simply not delivering on that promise. This is quite an assholish move considering you're dropping quite a lot of coin for one of these. Ball is in your court Apple.
