I upgraded my Time Capsule back in October of 2010 but I didn’t have this blog at that time. Since I took some pictures I figured I’d add it real quick. When bought my Time Capsule I didn’t want to pay for a larger hard drive with the idea that I’d upgrade it later on. The time came when I’d upgraded the HD in my MacBook Pro so finally I decided to see how big of a boy I could make my 500 Gig Time Capsule. I did a little searching and decided to try to put a 2T drive in it that was on sale at newegg.com. I followed some advice from the guys over at ifixit.com and here’s how it went.
