I am currently using a Mac Mini with a stack of USB drives for TimeMachine. But I am working on slimming down the number of Macs in our house. Sometime next year we will be down to two MacBooks (M1 with 1TB and 2TB drive) and a media Mac Mini.
I am looking to simplify life and returning to using my TimeCapsule currently in mothballs. I know it will be slow, but tests have shown it is not really much worse than using a Mac Mini. And after the initial backup it really does not matter. I also do occasional Carbon Copy Clones, but TS is great for rolling back and versioning and "not thinking about it."
The 3TB drive is getting noisy and I am planning on pulling it and replacing it initially with a 4TB NAS drive I have pulled out of my cMP likely to also be retired next year.
It also has a 10TB drive I could fit. Has anybody tried a larger drive in the TimeCapsule?
