Hybrid Hard drive on A1302 Time Capsule

Hi,

can I use a hybrid HD such as Seagate FireCuda 2 TB - Internal Hybrid Drive - 3.5" - SATA 6Gb/s on my A1302 Time Capsule?

If not, what would be the best and fastest HD choice?

Thanks

John

Your not looking for speed so much on a Time Capsule as reliability. I think you would do better with a Seagate Enterprises drive.

Hi Mayer, thanks for your answer. I checked pricing for the Enterprise drive but it's more expensive than a new TC. Maybe I looked for the wrong model. Any other suggestions?

Well. since speed is not a issue on a backup drive, just go with a standard 2TB drive.
