Hi,
I'm looking at getting a Apple Time Capsule or an Apple Extreme.
Apple Time Capsule £249
Apple Extreme £169
If I add a hard drive to Apple Extreme, is it just basically the same features as Time Capsule?
Thanks
NE

yup, that's what I've done, less aesthetically pleasing but cheaper and more practical.

Am thinking about doing something similar, using an Airport Stream plus a USB HDD, will Time Machine backup an OSX machine to this HDD the same way as if it were a Time Capsule?

Assume you mean an extreme? If so, Yes, I've plugged a 4TB drive (cost less than the difference between an extreme and time capsule) and have 4 macs backing up to it regularly.

Think I'll go this route as well and attach a 1tb drive since we only have 2 macs.
