The Apple Time Capsule 2TB was designed to work seamlessly with Apple's Time Machine backup software, which is integrated into macOS. It provided a convenient solution for Mac users to back up their data wirelessly over a local network. The Time Capsule offered a storage capacity of 2 terabytes (2TB), allowing users to store a significant amount of data, including documents, photos, videos, and more.
In addition to its backup capabilities, the Time Capsule also functioned as a wireless router. It supported the latest Wi-Fi standards at the time, including 802.11ac, which offered fast and reliable wireless connectivity for devices on the network. The device featured multiple Ethernet ports, allowing wired connections to computers, printers, or other devices.
Furthermore, the Time Capsule included a USB port that could be used to connect a printer or an external hard drive, expanding the device's functionality. With a connected printer, users could take advantage of wireless printing capabilities across their network. Alternatively, an external hard drive could be connected to the USB port for additional storage space or as a shared network drive.
The Time Capsule was designed with a sleek and compact form factor, resembling a small white or silver rectangular box. It featured a built-in power supply, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. The device could be easily set up and managed through Apple's AirPort Utility software, available for both macOS and Windows.
