Apple updated their Time Capsule to a bigger size reservoir last week, which now comes with 2TB-3TB. They also listed these as “Serial ATA server-grade hard disk”, standard equipment on the device's official spec sheet. And well, HardMac opened it up to find something else. It's generally assumed that for a drive model to be qualified as “enterprise,” it must sustain a mean time between failures — MTBF for short — in excess of one million hours. So what's the MTBF for the Western Digital's WD20EARS (Caviar Green) in HardMac's Time Capsule?
Conveniently, the hard drive maker wouldn't say.
