Hello, folks! Long time lurker, first time poster...
So, I have an older generation Apple Time Capsule (I think the one before they went tall and thin), and while it continues to access the Internet just fine and provides good WiFi, the Time Capsule drive no longer works. I'd like to hear some advice about what I should do now?
- Should I purchase the most recent generation Time Capsule, even though Apple appears to be getting out of the business?
- Should I get a different router, and plug an external hard drive into it?
- Should I just leave the Time Capsule alone and shut down my Time Machine, seeing as I already have iCloud to synchronize my files, and iDrive to do an online back-up. Maybe, if I'm feeling paranoid, I can plug in an external hard drive and use that as my new Time Machine?
Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your replies.
All the best,
