Einleitung
Diese kurze Anleitung ist eine Erweiterung des des Airport Extreme Teardowns. Die Apple Time Capsule ist mehr oder weniger das selbe, wie der Airport Extreme, nur dass sich noch eine Festplatte und einige Extras in dieser befindet.
Schau also für ausführlichere Infos bitte auf die detaillierte Anleitung des Airports.

Today I went rogue. While the other tech writers were taking apart an as-yet-unnamed device (oh the secrecy!), I took apart the AirPort Time Capsule.
-
Going into it, we knew that there wouldn't be many changes from yesterday's AirPort Extreme. Hence the one-man team, and the fairly brief teardown.
-
Also, the designers hate it when I hijack their pretty graphics, so I made sure *not* to consult them on the main graphic. Take that, good taste!
-
This 2013 Time Capsule has the model number A1470, as evidenced by the "A1470" inscribed on the bottom cover. No funny business over here, we got the real deal.
-
-
-
Also gut, das Wichtigste zuerst: das Öffnen dieses Krautwickels. Das Verfahren ist das gleiche, also werde ich dich nicht wie beim letzten Mal langweilen.
-
Nun, da das aus dem Weg geräumt ist, kommen wir zu den guten Dingen: Sobald du die Time Capsule öffnest, bemerkst du die kleinen aber feinen Unterschiede.

The drive is a standard, off-the-shelf Seagate Barracuda drive. We're cheapskates (hey, you never know when you might kill a $3,000 Retina MBP while trying to open it), so we opted for the 2TB option.
-
The standard SATA drive has a not-so-standard, super-thin connector that attaches it to the
mothershipmotherboard. -
The SATA cable's super-thin profile allows the hard drive to be plugged in, as well as allowing it to be clamped securely into the enclosure via the rubber cover (and metal clamp).

This is where the magic happens. This port is missing from the AirPort Extreme of yesteryear, which allows the Time Capsule to be a Time Capsule, and the AirPort Extreme to be... well... not so extreme.
-
Folks asked us if it's feasible to make an Extreme into a Time Capsule. Theoretically, the answer is "Yes," but we're not sure why you'd go through the trouble — the Seagate Barracuda drive is essentially the price difference between the Time Capsule and the Extreme.

-
Aside from that, the Time Capsule is pretty much identical to the Extreme. The same power supply, fan, and processing juice.
-
Basically nothing new to see here, move along.

These are all the different parts that come in a Time Capsule, that you otherwise forfeit with the Extreme. So it's up to you, wise user, to figure out which Wi-Fi droid is right for you.
-
AirPort Time Capsule A1470 Repairability Score: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).
-
This is a no-brainer, since it's basically the same thing as the AirPort Extreme in terms of repairability.

Quick update: the Time Capsule will easily accept a 4TB 3.5" hard drive in place of its lowly 2TB original drive. The Seagate was used to take this screenshot, but the HGST drive should work fine as well.

+1. Change to WD/Hitachi 4TB would be helpful. Wish Seagate would just go away. Can't believe Apple still uses their products.

You asked, so we answered. Check out step 7.
Wow! Thank you so much for doing that! I'm glad I asked. I'll definitely be doing it to mine. You're all awesome!
If your objective if just to swap the disk, it is not necessary to remove all four connectors from the main board (which may be fiddly to reconnect). Remove just the large connector on the left (easy to reconnect) and the metal plate.
Then wiggle the rubber boot free. The SATA connector can now be unplugged from the disk (keep the disk pushed down) and the other two wires are just long enough to allow the disk to be extracted with care.
