Apple’s Time Capsule Makes Data Backup Brainless

Backing up your data is one of those things that everybody recommends you do but nobody does. It’s such a smart move, one that you’ll undoubtedly wish you did when your hard drive inevitably crashes. But, generally speaking, backing up is such a pain that nobody does it. There just hasn’t been a simple solution.

Until now. Apple’s new Time Capsule is a brilliantly simple little device. Essentially, it’s a wireless router with a 500GB hard drive built into it. When used in conjunction with Apple’s Time Machine backup program that comes for free with the latest version of its operating system, it automatically and wirelessly backs your important data up for you, making the entire process completely brainless and painless. You can set it up once and forget about it until you really need a file you accidentally deleted. In that case, it’s right there waiting to be retrieved. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

Pre-Order here.
