Time capsule usb hard drive7/2/2023 The Acomdata was quick, easy, and looks nice to boot. The sabrent was the cheapest and I paid for it with driving back and forth to fry's. Just to cover my bases, the housing will house your old drive, protecting it, powering it, and giving it a usb hookup. First I bought a Sabrent, but it broke halfway through me getting the drive installed. I recommend the brand Acomdata because that's what I overheard the sales associate recommend. I know I was holding the camera upright, anywho, you'll get the meaning. I'm including my pics, much better pictures can be found here: here are much better instructions here : First off, I'm not sure why these pics came out sideways. Mine went out when the power went out in my living room, but then never turned back on.Īfter politely explaining my predicament to apple, they re-arranged the order so that I could keep my old one, specifically to perform this experiment. I can tell you firsthand your files are still there and still fine, the part that seems to break most often with time capsules is something related to power source. Most people get this far and then fret because while getting a new one is great, their files are still on the old one. Luckily Apple was kind enough to send me a new one(even though mine was out of warranty) and all they asked was that I send them my old one. I did register it with /, and that's where some of my research began. I bought my time capsule in '08 and it lasted longer than the 18 months many sites report to be the average lifespan. In this instructable I'm going to show you how to crack this badboy open, remove your HD and rehouse it so that you can save at least a hundred bucks. That's way out of my range for things that I already own. Apple does not offer data recovery, and you could go to an apple certified place, the one I called here in LA told me it would cost somewhere between $300 and $1000. If you're reading this, I'm going to assume that yours died and you want to get all your info off of it.
