I don’t know why no one mentioned this but I went with an SSD drive. I’m using my Time Capsule only for streaming content to Infuse on Apple TV on top of acting as a reliable router of course. Capacity and backup was not the issue for me. That clunky, noisy and slow hard drive has been annoying me since day one. Finally I bought a Sandisk Ultra SSD drive and replaced internal hard drive with it. Writing, reading and streaming speeds and most importantly response times are way better even though TC only supports SATA II. Accessing Time Capsule storage from my Mac is also more reliable. Time Capsule is now a real NAS device for me. Fast and silent. I recommend this anyone who still uses TC. Until Wi-Fi 6 routers become mainstream I’m not planning to retire my TC anytime soon.

I’m just gonna sold that Seagate HDD.
